Mfw splitting the atom, entering space, stepping in the moon, etc. wasn't radical or revolutionary:
Pretty sure this means radical and revolutionary in the political sense. Though most scientists and astronauts weren't billionaires - they were government employees.
It still rings hollow, unless revolutions to overthrow monarchy weren't radical or revolutionary.
I mean it depends, doesn't it? If landed gentry overthrew a monarch concerned with the welfare of peasantry so they could maintain exploitation it's not at all radical or revolutionary in the way the meme means it.
