Is that us?
yes -- lots of governments as well.
Conditions grow progressively worse and worse for the working class, and the wealthy elite grow ever more contemptuous of them as they accumulate more and more wealth. The very wealthiest of Americans now control half of all the wealth in the entire country.
It\'s a continuous process that can only end in either drastic reform or a descent into chaos.
The chaos has already begun. Shoplifting has become a thing on social media among people who are fed up with being lied to. Civil disorder can move to a tipping point, at which time everyone suffers. I saw a video of a mob attacking a police officer last night.
This election cycle is itself bordering on chaos. I hear talk of possible rioting if the Trump nomination is blocked by the Republican political machine.
its time for a revolution. either the reform will happen properly through the system, we will finally become socialist-democrats like most civilized countries in western europe who have everything that we should have as well OR it will happen as a civil war. amazes me what a mess it is and how many don\'t comprehend that it is a mess. wth?
It\'s human nature. People hold onto the status quo like it\'s some kind of cuddly stuffed animal.
I think that allies of the US are getting very uneasy about the growing instability here. But you know, some are celebrating of course.
