Do you see any chance for revolution in United States? People are too meek, too intimidated and cleverly divided by ruling class in my opinion. And people with mortgage do not do revolutions.




Christopher Hitchens called America "the last revolution that stands a chance." So I certainly hope so. The problem is the same systems that are weakening us have extended tendrils across the world, so there is no where to run to. I think it will be interesting to see if the human spirit is able to rise up against the already partially here but ever increasing technetronic dystopia.

Sometimes this is done intentionally with the strategy of divide and rule [0].
