PS: breaking windows, overturning garbage bins, and yelling at cops won't start a revolution.

You're right.

Real revolutions start by yelling at soldiers, threatening the local mailman, and dumping tea into harbours!

Indeed, tea... the enemy's one true weakness! But yes, it's a scientifically proven fact that tea makes new breeds of superfish.

Humor aside, corruption is a common feature in most countries, so the popular media is corrupt, and so are politicians, and so are businessmen, and bankers, and automobile salesmen, and so on. Anything that deals with money often, or eventually, leads to corruption.

Though stranger conflicts have happened. For example, in 1325, Modenese soldiers stole a bucket from a well, leading to the War of the Oaken Bucket, even involving Pope John XXII himself as a commander.

So ya, remember the Cookie Crusade role-play? Well, there are some historic equivalents! Another funny example would be the ever most dreadful Chicken War of 1537, of which the Polish nobility voted for a legal rebellion (in the Renaissance, nobles could vote for legal revolutions), but then no one decided to actually do any fighting, instead resorting to nearly driving the local population of chickens to extinction, because hungry.
