Revolutionary France basically ended feudalism in one delirious evening. Change can definitely happen fast. Anyone tells you otherwise is ignoring the march of History.

"Basically" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. You can't ignore the years of buildup just because the climax itself happens quickly.

Who is ignoring it? Buildup happens all the time. Its happening now.

Now by buildup of course im assuming you mean anger, frustration, dissatisfaction, and resentment. Because if you mean detailed planning then no. That's absolutely not how it went. I literally mean one delirious night.

As well as material suffering and broader radicalization. As bad as things are right now, people generally aren't literally starving.
