This Rand Corporation study shows that income inequality has skyrocketed since 1975. Trillions of dollars have been siphoned from the middle class to the elites. Advances in technology and automation have significantly reduced the elite’s need for middle class labor and management. Historically, this is a recipe for revolution. The elites know this. How can the elites maintain their position and reduce the likelihood of revolution?
Enter 2020 and the COVID-19 coronavirus; A lab gown virus the reduces the elder care burden. Then a forced vaccine that reduces world population by making everyone hypersensitive to future coronaviruses. At least that is what the following 2012 study says about Coronavirus vaccines. You make the call...

Silly. Americans are excited to get more of this. They don’t even understand what they’ve asked for, but the media tells them it’s good.
A guy my age, went to HS with him, he was also in the USN, is a fb friend of mine. He’s been all about getting rid of Trump. Trump is bad, Trump is evil, yada, yada. Now, I see him posting, chaffing at the things that Biden is putting in place, as if these things just magically happened and Biden has no part in it, (ok, that may be partially true).
I remind him that the things upsetting him are the things Trump was fixing... silence.

If this country continues going down this road we’re going to have a revolution that makes the French Revolution look like a country picnic.
But our betters don’t care.they continue spending as if there is no tomorrow.
No amount of troops guarding the Peoples House will prevent the disaster that will be forth coming. I think these government officials already know this.
Unless the American patriots stop paying federal taxes, this sham will continue.
What I do mind is when government and corporations become so ponderously large and intertwined that it morphs into, well, fascism. Which is the case now.
Big Tech has become the I.G. Farben of the 21st century, although I assume that the ovens awaiting us are much more advanced than those at Buchenwald.
Bonjour, Scum, get back in the Walmart line where you belong!
We already revolted. That was Trump’s election.
And the counter-revolution went on for four years until they finally gave up and committed massive felony election fraud, realizing that on an even playing field, they could not win.
So they have won the latest battle - Trump was forced to retreat - but the war’s not over. At least now people realize that there IS a war.
Meanwhile, the Pelosi gang buys up options knowing that their votes will make them skyrocket.
The New Nobility is exactly right, and what I’ve been saying here for 20 years.
Keep the Plebes comfortable by satisfying all of their needs and enough of their wants. A complacent mob is a subservient one.
If 2020 didn’t get the middle class to revolt then nothing will. They can be entertained for $1,200 and $600/week unemployment.
If the author is attempting to blame capitalism, he’s barking up the wrong tree. The fault lies in crony capitalism and government corruption. Wealth inequality is not important. What is important is if everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
Debt slaves enslaved themselves. Nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to buy anything - house, care, stuff on your credit cards. People can live within their means, they just don’t, nor do they plan for “what if” scenarios such as what if the housing market crashes.
I think a better idea of what has happened and will happened, based on historical precedents is what Samuel T. Francis wrote in 1977 - Revolution is in the Air. You can find it at counter-currents.com, which is a site that I doubt FR approves of.
