Sorry to tell you, but no pitchforks will come to save you
Why did they come out in the French Revolution and countless other times and they won’t now?
Because our lives are 100x better (maybe more?) than the lives of the average subject in France in the 18th century.
That, and also an extremely sophisticated media ecosystem, surveillance apparatus, police forces, etc. But there is also close to no collective responsibility in the US culture
Capital built stronger, taller, AI-enhanced walls to keep the peasants out.
Maybe collapsing ecosystems will
Traditionally, this has been the solution to mass inequality
