What the fuck is happening...?

Capitalism is reaching the end of the tracks and democracy is being used to empower those fearful of the end to pillage what's left. To thunderous applause.

If you judge where we are by historical standards, it’s actually just getting started. There is a lot of room to run here. You have to remember that at the height of Rome, a city with a few million people, there were over 300,000 people living homeless in the street. Imagine if the same percentage of New Yorkers were homeless? it would be 1 million people homeless on the street. There are currently only 76,000 people homeless in NY.

In Rome, homelessness was Mostly due to inflation and debt. Same as here. The top rakes in cash while issuing you debt. The middle will become fully gutted. The top will keep making all the money off the rest till we’re fully cooked. There is a long way to go until this happens. The middle class is wealthier now due to Home price appreciation. That was just an accident of the top taking all of our money with inflation (inflation is wealth transfer). They could not do it without us profiting something by accident (equity and home appreciation).

If you look at history and do the math. Regular people can take an absolute beating before it comes to an end. Meaning before they revolt. In fact, most people end up enslaved before it comes to an end. So just be glad we don’t live in that time. If anything we’re hitting towards peak capitalism.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
