He isn’t wrong. All it takes is the right amount of people to be pissed and revolution explodes. If the oligarchs think they have it rough now, wait until they are being lynched in the street by people who haven’t eaten a decent meal in recent memory. Look up 1918 Russia if you don’t believe me.
I somehow feel things have changed. Maybe it’s the internet, lack of education, consumerism, whatever. I hate to say this, bit I feel like a lot of people, when they get hungry, would steal from their neighbours. Far too many folk don’t understand that the wealthy are the author of their suffering and won’t know where to target their anger. Not to mention that oligarchs are hard to catch, whereas your neighbour with a slightly newer car is right there, and may be of a different race. People don’t understand who they should be angry with.
If there is still food to be stolen from your neighbours then things haven’t reached the point of revolt.
If there is still enough energy to be expended on hating your neighbor, then you haven’t reached the true point of revolt
When things are truly at their worst, your neighbor has no food to take. Your neighbor has no goods worth stealing. Harming them brings you no food, no money and less energy.
When things have reached that point, that is when the only option left is revolt and it does not matter what consumerism what gifts are given what lies are said. The only thing left to do is revolt or die. And no group of people will simply choose to die.
Lets hope he is right.
No shit. This is my retirement plan.
People are too divided for an Actual revolution, but I’d say let’s try
Internet echo chambers are literally “Divide and Conquer” at scale.
Wake me up when the masses give up their algorithmic app addictions.
This^. Most of us are part of the Machine. Any revolution must begin outside of it.
One of the most revolutionary actions people can take is put down their phones.
If the government bans social media, we will riot
Please collapse in an orderly fashion, form a queue or something. But don’t come up here, we’re full.
I’ve been waiting for the pitchforks since 2008.
Damn, I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. 😳
Eat the rich and use their money so there is no poverty in the world anymore.
and do something to prevent new people from taking their place so the problem doesnt just start again with different people
Maybe we just need the ever present threat of being eaten should one become too rich to achieve world peace.
Revolution led by CEOs, I presume?
Nono, “Revolution” tm, new AI product from his company.
How many subscriptions tiers does it have?
Sure seems like the rich are doing everything they can to see what they can get away with before it pops off.
At least hes just a millionaire and not a billionaire. We can trust him
Please.
Good.
If he’s lucky, he might survive it, but if he keeps greeding unrepentantly, he might not
Americans can’t even bother to get their asses off the couch to vote against fascism. The only Revolution they’re gonna take part in is the one at the Olive Garden when they run out of breadsticks
That patently false. Millions of us got off of our asses to vote against fascism.
When? You guys have been terrorizing the world for decades and longer.
