    society lacks a plan. wealth inequality has been going up since before 2000. but somehow, society just carried on. “if we work hard, i’m sure it will turn out alright.”

    the current social divide (poor/rich, not dem/rep) was predictable long ago. what do you expect? 10 or 20 years ago would have been the perfect time to question the fundamentals of society and decide where society really wants to go - to develop in the long term.

    now we’re here. now’s the 3rd best time to figure out how society should develop in the long term. think about it.

      If only you would’ve been here 10 - 20 years ago to impart upon us savages this great wisdom, oh master… We were but too simple then to think such BOLD, OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY NOVEL thoughts on our own! Alack, what woe! 🙄

      Not to burst your bubble there, junior, but class (read: socioeconomic) warfare didn’t just magically appear within the past couple of decades… Or centuries…

      Do me a favor: Google the phrase “let them eat cake” or “proletariat” or “bourgeoisie” or… actually it might just be quicker for you to look up “world history prior to 2000” and at least skim a bit or something
