Excellent observation AFAIK. The catch might also be that at the “Why bother?”-stage, a significant democratisation would already feel like a revolution/regime change.
There’s also what you mentioned in the thread, the “playbook”: USA elites emulating the ones from 1920~30 Germany, and trying to provoke similar conditions there. I’m paranoid enough to think the AI bubble might have to do with this — if they can’t predict when a Great Depression will happen, they cause one instead.
