Reddit has a long history of recovering from mutinies and other things that should have made it obsolete.

Recall that France had some very serious mutinies around the time of the battle of Verdun.

There are mass mutinies by military formations, which are essentially armed direct-action protests by troops, often under their established leadership.

Fighting cancer is literally fighting against evolution of single cell mutinies from our multicellular ship.
