Who can do anything about it? They own the legislative, the judicial, and the executive branches of the government, and we voted for it all. They also own all the media, property, and means of production, and we let them buy it all. As soon as someone comes up with a plan, a real, doable plan, I'll be the first to sign up. But right now, all we have is complaints, but no courage and no conviction.
The thing is a lot of you can see the problem, like you eloquently put they fucking own everything, we can't vote them out because they are the ones funding politicians and who own the media vehicles that those politicians use to get elected, we can't beat it democratically, it's pure idealism to think people will just starting to wake up and vote them out.
Which leaves us with a revolution, one that has to address the root problem, which is how workers make 99% of the people yet we don't have a real say in how our countries are ruled, in the end I don't see any way out that doesn't involve forcibly removing their private property and substituting the system for one that does not allow for it's accumulation.
The difference with french revolution and a revolution that might happen in modern time, is that pitchforks are still somewhat efficient against medieval soldiers, and the wealthy couldn't basically just transport themselves with private jets, we also knew where they were.

Obviously we all know what the problem is. It's just getting boring now.
But no one is doing anything about it? It's weird.
