(14,716 posts)How quickly can the wannabe oligarch factions work together well enough to damage, dismember, or discourage any potential opposition mechanisms so they can remove enough of the population and be able to "rule", as opposed to how quickly will the average US Citizen wake up and realize the long Con and what it means for their personal situations.
I figure the Oligarchs need to take 1/3 of the citizen population of the US out of play over the next year to be able to do what they want unimpeded. They have about 15% completely on their side, and another 20% they've made nihilistic enough who they feel won't interfere unless really pushed (i.e., until it's too late).
And it's not a left or right situation. It's a moral survival situation.
Capitalistic Monopoly systems are zero sum organizations, and oligarchs are the embodiment of the monopoly. There's the oligarch, and then there's everyone else under the oligarch who has to depend on their good will to remain in that system.
As evidenced by the citizenry of current Russia, anyone outside such a system is left to survive on their own; if they're lucky, as a serf to be able to glean a little of the leftover crumbs if the system needs more bodies.
IDK about you, but even though over the years I have learned skills to build tools and survive off whatever I can scavenge in either rural environments or urban ruins around me with nothing but the clothes on my back to start with, I'm too old and disabled to be able to without a lot of willing hands and minds to help me.
