“You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.”

First you show me a society where the poorest people are the most likely to be obese, and where everyone is the most passively entertained and the least used to sustained physical labor in history that ever had an uprising.

I remember that video of the mother going to an out of control protest and getting her son out of it. Of course the little a-hole did not want to leave and go home but the mother persisted and kicked his young ass all the way home. Needless to say the kid did not get into trouble with the law that day.

That’s the way things SHOULD be. But our blue state’s police forces will not act.

BLM and ANTIFA rioters and looters need to be bitch slapped all the way home, punctuated with a sound crotch kick.

But what we really see more and more is a two-tier society in which some people make the rules and are allowed to break all the rules at any time. They are untouchable. The bulk of society is weighed down by so many rules that they can be crushed in a thousand ways anytime some important person decides to crush them. I think that is completely unsustainable. The Robinhood thing and the Deep State (Hillary/Biden/Soros/Epstein) thing — these have made it clear to just about everyone that “it’s a big club — and you ain’t in it”.


We know justice is rigged. Now we know that the economics side is rigged, too. Children of Senators can make a huge living off of government corruption. How will this end?

Thank you, for posting this.

I was not familiar with the man. I actually think he sounds a lot like Prez Trump before 2016. Less brash but just as entrepreneurial.

Envy will always be a human trait.

If we are smart enough to make it work for us instead of against us, we win.

The lying media can be taken down. The reddits showed us that.

Dump cable tv
Dump big tech
Dump national name brands

In 2021, the billionaires are not only controlling a lot of capital, but they are using it politically. They are using it to stifle and overwhelm those who will not open doors, do them favors, or attempt to compete.

The US is no longer a capitalist country, we are fascist in the strictest sense. Government and businesses are hand in hand. Governments LOVE the Chinese model, and that is exactly what they have and our “servants” shall have.

You have to wonder how a billionaire, any billionaire, and especially this particular opinionated billionaire, would have the first clue about how poor people live or think.

When you need billions of bodies to “fertilize the soil”, nothing is better than sterilization.

People begin having only 1 or zero children. because the have nots have been literally neutered. The 1 child from a have family, with intelligence and fine genetics. The zero children family, from the “idiot class”.

Throw in a little bit of “killing granny and gramps”, mongoloid and autistic, because they are not productive and take all the income people earn to keep them alive. What you have is a young population, a much smaller population, and the same stratification because “the poor will always be with us.

Even a world with 500 million in it will sort itself into haves and have nots. The haves will need things done, the have nots will need some form of capital. The haves will own all of the land, or control it. The have nots will not be allowed on the Kings(haves) land, without paying for it.

Eventually, people will get tired of this and migrate to unused land and learn to defend it. Shaking off the yoke of the ruling class, the world will begin again along the same lines that turned America into a colony, Africa and South America too.

It will take a lot more than pitchforks, and a stronger kind of human that the Americans of today who are softer than a roll of Charmin.

It will happen though, but not until China literally occupies nearly the entire planet. They have talked about it, and they want it to happen.

If you haven’t read this, do so. Do it with the realization that when Joe Biden said “we have the biggest voter fraud plan in place in the history of the world”. People in Republican power circles said he was just talking out his rectum. He may have not meant to say it, but it was and is true.

I won’t be bringing a pitchfork.

I’ll be brining my new Smith&Wesson M&P Sport 2 rifle.

And you should too!

Stimulate the economy.

Seriously, I’ve been pointing this out long before 2014, and as far back as 2008 if you look closely at the numbers. I’m just not a plutocrat.

Power to him. Nick is successful and, like he said, not the brightest.

The poor and wealthy are always at war, according to Aristotle, 350 BC, and the middle class serve as the buffer between the poor and wealthy and prevent war. Thus, if the middle class is huge, then peace in the state is huge.

The poor and middle class do not hate the wealthy. It’s just that we hate the deception and vice sold by media and politicians. No pitchforks are needed. Just more prayers and less covid talk.

I keep thinking that, too.

And I’m sure there are millions of others thinking the same thing.

I think they want this scenario to happen as you say.
They don’t care about the outcome of it, all that will mean is this country and tens of millions of oxygen wasters will be dead.

They will hardly be impacted.

Good luck with that. Hanauer is a major gun grabbing POS who has been a primary funder of every anti 2nd amendment initiative here in Washington, a left coast Nanny Bloomberg if you will. And for those who think he is somewhat like Trump, the main likeness is that he had plenty of money from the family business to fund his own ventures.

Study the French Revolution and all its excesses. Sadly that type of rebellion is brewing.

I concur. Far too many of our society are far too comfortable with the mediocrity available at the touch of their screens. There’s not much incentive to go beyond it in the eyes of those now addicted to what their screens offer.
