Doesn't that seem a bit too complacent? Personally I've always thought the opposite - malcontents have more to gain and less to lose by criticizing or opposing the status quo.
You would have been right when the ratio of malcontents to those who could say that they enjoyed the benifits of society was 5 or 10 to 1
but tose days are gone, and in many geographic (read postal codes) locations, there is nothing to be contented with or strive for, except at worse than lightnigng strike while winning the lottery odds.
