"The poor rising up 'keeps him awake at night' - Cartier owner worth $7.5bn

One reason the west is so powerful is because their elite are master recruiters. They also know how to give the general population just enough to keep it satisfied. They are also smart enough to know democracy is a foolproof way of keep the elite in power because there are simply too many ignorant(many willfully so) AND stupid(people who can't be helped due to limited intelligence) people in the general pop for democracy to ever work to the advantage of the people on a large scale.

Look at all the new tech people who are building a lot of wealth and turning into the very monsters they claim to hate.

best post ^ :yes:
 
dayum near every successful revolution was precipitated by low economic classes sayin 'ENOUGH'!

if dude has even a passing interest in the study of history then he knows the writing is on the wall. he's just waiting for enough of the populace to actually begin to read it
 
'Religion is what keeps poor people from killing rich people'
As long as the people think that the meek will one day rule and all the greedy ones are cast into hell, ain't shit changing.

Yeah, but they developed better strategies on top of religion. Social safety nets allow people to have just enough to not think about shit. People can get food. They can get help with energy bills. Help with housing. Grants for school. Unemployment. Disability when not disabled. Credit(this is one of the main things holding all this shit together).

Rich people have devised such a sinister scheme to keep people satisfied that people don't even know the rich profit when poor people are being satisfied.

Take food stamps. The rich fucks refuse to pay a living wage to workers. Workers(such as those working full time at Walmart) then qualify for food stamps. The food stamps are tax dollars. The people using the stamps then spend that money with the rich(sometimes going right back to Walmart). Shit, the bankers even get billions by handling the cards.

Rich have their businesses supported by tax dollars in a slick manner.

Lets say shit gets ugly. The rich just order their politician muppets to increase food stamps to feed people. People get satisfied. Rich get the tax dollars as business income. They have rigged every aspect of the game.

Centuries ago, the rich kings would come take peasant's food as more tax if something happened to their food. Led to revolts. Now, the rich can increase food to the working poor and still come up.

That's just one of their hustles. They know that religion one won't last forever, so they constantly adapt.
 
As I have said on this board before. The rich biggest fear is that people will realize how much money they actually have and all hell will break lose. Chris Rock said recently if poor people knew how rich, rich people are there would be riots in the street. In response to walking way from the 50 million dollar deal Dave Chappelle said he had ten million dollars in the bank and the difference between a life with $10 million and a life with $50 million was minuscule.

A billionaire could spend $100,000 a day for 27 years and still have $14.5 million dollars left to spend. The amount of money billionaires have is criminal.. Plain and simple.
