Both revolutions came about in no small part due to terrible winter conditions.
France had a terrible harvest in 1788 followed by a brutal winter where starving families had to choose between buying expensive bread or firewood.
St Petersburg in winter of 1917 was miserably cold, and city dwellers queued for hours in outdoor bread lines while much of the available food was sent to war.
It’s not enough that people hate a government. If they still have faith that the system can work for them (“Just one new finance minister, and France will be saved”, “If we can get rid of that damned Rasputin, the Tsar will wake up and hear our cries”) they will give it a chance. Mass starvation has a way of breaking such faith, but it’s obviously not the only thing that can.
In the US, there’s very much a mood among the anti-MAGA crowd that an election can still fix things.
There is more to learning than just school.
When you start a job, there are all kinds of things you will learn: New tools, how to work in a professional environment, new processes and techniques. Don’t feel bad if you come back from work each day and don’t feel like opening a book or some tutorial. You are absolutely still learning, even if you come home and can’t stand the thought of touching a keyboard. I used to beat myself up about not coding in my free time or not studying new books, but starting a career involves so many more life changes than just “I get a paycheck now”. It can take years before you feel motivated to learn again, and that’s OK.
I don’t know what the work culture in Nepal is like, but if you’re not running a 996 rat race, you’ll eventually have the time (and money) for hobbies. I can’t really stay motivated to learn something just for the sake of knowing, but I can keep with it if I care about the end goal. That’s where hobbies help.
