Fact: State Security clearance was required for government appointments
Statistics : 40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line.
Explanation:
Revolution 2.0 is a chronological record of the uprising that occurred in Egypt in Jan 2011. The uprising led to the toppling of the then government led by Hosni Mubarak.
The fact used as evidence was that state security approval was sought and granted before anyone could hold any senior position in government or politics. The government achieved this by keeping a dossier - a record of activities- on everyone considered a threat or an activist, which was used to blackmail them in case they decided to raise a dissenting voice.
This control measure was used to ensure that no one in senior position of authority would had enough clout to lead a revolt or revolution.
The statistics was that 40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line. Hence poverty was used as a weapon in oppressing and subjugating the people.

Clara feels that Sylvester should try to follow Oyster and work towards equality. But Sylvester thinks that he couldn’t protest as he was already very poor and would be risking his home in case he protests. According to him Oyster’s actions are excessive. He thinks “one cannot live on gumption” i.e: being full of courage and guts all the time with common sense.
Here, by this excerpt, both are tired after hearing her complaints about their actions which wants them to leave that place. But they couldn't because it was so cold outside and they need to stay warm to survive.
