[Politically Correct]

People are comfortable. They have air conditioning, food, cars, televisions, PCs, etc., They don’t feel threatened.
You don’t have revolutions when people are comfortable.
We’ve also been deliberately detached from our history, culture, traditions, and legacy.
The Left has done a masterful job of subverting society, and has met virtually NO opposition - other than Internet bitching.

I agree, you don't get revolutions when people are comfortable and ignorant.
But there are several financial bubbles that have been expanded beyond sustainability, any one of which has the potential to shift a large part of the population into that "uncomfortable" state.
As well there is a lot of political and social unrest.
We may be closer to the edge than we think.

We may be closer to the edge than we think.

Now that news travels instantaneously around the world via the internet, events and reactions can pile up rapidly. Today, the unimaginable can happen almost overnight.

“...As well there is a lot of political and social unrest....”

That unrest has been fomented to keep the pot from boiling over into a unified movement; basically, if people - ALL of us on the receiving end of the Fed Boner - woke up and realized who the real enemy was, they’d be toast.

So you set black against white against asian against hispanic against Christian against Jew against muslim against everyone, then you sit back and watch the fun you’ve created on the evening news.

And you rest comfortably in the assurance that while we’re busy killing each other, we’re too busy to all turn at once, and see who’s doing all this, and start hanging the real bastards from the gallows.

Which goes to a point MHGinTN made in an earlier post to me when he said “the distraction has worked”.

It sure did.
