As a revolution, the American revolution was a complete failure at overthrowing the British government, got no where near Parliament. It was a very successful war of secession which resulted in independence from the British government. There has been other successful wars of secession, though many such as various ones in Africa ended up authoritarian.
The Russian revolution resulted in an Authoritarian State with brief periods of democracy and is still authoritarian.
The French revolutions, as you state, resulted in a mixture of democracy and authoritarianism.
A good example of a successful revolution was the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which actually had little violence as revolutions go and resulted in neutering the power of the King in favour of Parliament, with Parliament slowly getting more democratic since then.

You should check out the abandoned well situation in Alberta. Likely to cost Canadian tax payers up to 100 billion to clean up as those companies shouldn't be expected to clean up their mess. Some of those wells are also giving off toxic fumes. Also check out the unpaid land taxes in Alberta for those same wells, because why should oil companies pay land taxes.
Not to mention the massive amount of land given to mining bitumen.

Perhaps your one of the people that electric doesn't work for you, what with one of your main pleasures being driving.
Me, I hate driving now, my leg hurts from the clutch, my hip hurts from sitting and I'd rather not drive any more then needed. Last road trip, I found myself stopping at every rest stop for 10-15 minutes to stretch and everyone of those rest stops had a couple of unused level 2 or 3 chargers, so I'd love to be able to afford to go electric. Obviously you and I are quite different when it comes to driving and electric just doesn't work for you. I was the same when young, jump in the truck and go on a multi day drive, often where there weren't hardly any gas stations.

The American auto companies are much more scary then the Chinese ones. It is America who keeps starting wars, threatening to annex various countries and waging economic war on friendly countries. It is also American companies that have the profit motive to sell all the data they can and likely will happily sell to the Chinese government as well as other governments.
