Here's the focus of my concern for the shibboleth known as "questioning authority." It is quite often done for the wrong reasons. The wrong reasons are egoistic and romantic notions of self-image and self-serving agendas. The hypocrisy involved in these sorts of rebellions are dangerously irresponsible.
I think the case of the French Revolution is a good one. Romanticism and its attendant egoisms very quickly became as cruel a cultural regime as the one overthrown.

But weren't the French people revolting against an aristocracy that was unresponsive to the plight of the lower class?
