Welcome to the board. My question to you is...what good would snapping do?

That's not snapping. Snapping is going nuts and beheading a passenger on a bus. Shooting your boss at work. Running someone over with your car on purpose, etc. Losing all sense of rationality.

To me, there's never a good time for that.

If you mean that peaceful revolts have never gained anything I have to disagree, look at the German revolution for example. But unfortunately I have to agree that peaceful revolt or protest is getting more and more difficult and senseless. You make no impression shouting at a fenced off free-speech zone while the media is ignoring or ridiculing you.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
- John F. Kennedy, 1962

I think a lot of the energy that traditionally would have been used towards protesting and revolting in the streets is channeled online, complaining and theorizing. It reaches a lot of people, but with little real life results yet. Hopefully some peaceful event will trigger the critical online avatars to send their real-life identities out on the streets to bring real change.
