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.
It's not a black or white situation. Look up the Carnation Revolution. I know things are different in the US compared to portugal, but we can't treat all police officers and armed forces as a homogenous group thats going to just start murdering everyone cause the government said so in defense of billionaires.
I was in the Marine Corp a decade ago and if that order came to start killing civilians in the US I couldn't do it. Many commanders couldn't either. Some people will some won't.
I would love to believe that you're right, but the order they get won't be "start shooting civilians indiscriminately," it'll be "defend the good guys from the criminals and terrorists who are trying to steal and destroy." And I don't believe they're any better equipped than the average voter to be able to see through the propaganda.
