    I genuinely worry about massive eruptions of violence. Why doesn’t the upper class realize that if they keep pushing, keep taking more and more and more, one day shit is just going to break down.

      Because they’ve spent a century brainwashing a majority of the workforce into believing unions are evil communist cults designed to teach people to eat babies.

      Don’t let rhetoric in communities like this fool you into thinking most people want to rise up against their oppressors. Theres a reason Republicans have as much support as they do.

        Every last one of these people has a name and an address. They’d rather us fight each other while their collared armed guards protect their bunkers than us fix the world. They want fascism so they can plunder a bit more before they go into their bunker. 7 billion human bodies don’t contain enough blood to sate their hunger.

          I think the solution to this is to make them think we are in The Event. Drive these fools to their bunkers, sent in their shock collared Marines to protect them not from us but protect us from them.

          They want so badly to insulate themselves from us but the best way we can protect humanity from harm is to take the billionaires off the table and shove them into their own self imposed survival shelters.

          How much better would the world be if the top .1 percent thought they were about to lose their heads to the angry mob so they remove themselves and we all move on with an economy with that group not in the economy.

      Because they all believe they can hold that off for the next generation to deal with. They don’t think it’ll happen now.

      I think general strikes like those seen in 1919 might come first.
