“The top 10% of US households now hold 87% of all US stocks owned by households, with the top 1% alone owning 50%. By comparison, the remaining 90% hold just 13%, while the bottom 50% hold only 1%. The wealth gap has never been bigger.” – Kobeissi Letter

Young people now overwhelmingly see socialism as preferable to capitalism because they have been indoctrinated by left wing professors and the legacy left media mouthpieces, promoting the Mandamis, AOCs, Bernies and Pocahontases of the world. It doesn’t matter their socialist/commie agenda has a 100% proven record of being erroneous and economically disastrous anywhere on earth it has been implemented, with millions of dead bodies as proof. The truth is we have not experienced true free market capitalism since the unholy conception of the Federal Reserve and initiation of the Federal income tax in 1913. That was surely a bad year for humanity.......

.....George Carlin’s famous rant captures the reality of their situation:

“They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that.

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money.”

....The causes of revolution are always the same: 1) A privileged elite class reap all the wealth while pissing on the lower classes; 2) The lower and middle classes are taxed to the point of poverty; 3) The government increases debt to an unsustainable, unpayable level; 4) wasteful military adventures drain the Tresury; 5) rampant government corruption; 6) societal discontent & chaos; 7) economic/financial crisis. All the dominoes are lined up, just waiting for the trigger flick which will start the cascade of consequences. Fourth Turnings never fizzle out. They build to a crescendo of violent upheaval with clear winners and losers.

We need to keep in mind there are only 3,000 billionaires on this planet and only a few hundred fall into the category of psychopaths in suits. Yes, they live in gated palaces with ample security forces, but the common folk of this country own over 300 million firearms. If or when they feel they have nothing left to lose, the protected privileged classes should start to worry. Their gates will not protect them from the consequences of their actions. We may decide to Make Guillotines Great Again.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” ― John F. Kennedy
