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.
Um, not quite. In colonial times the vast majority of the population on this continent was satisfied with the King’s rule, even as the rule taxed them more and more and intruded into their homes more and more. It was only a small percentage of the population which revolted against the King’s Rule. Sadly, we don’t even have a remnant of the fervor of the founders, so the Republic will be aborted under little bath house barry bastard boy’s kingship. The misdirection has worked. The real kings (the banking oligarchy) go unseen as we the people who still give a sh*t bitch over little king barry soetoro’s rule.
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.
