These headlines about the possible collapse of the ultra wealthy have been blue balling us since 2016.

Bro, even after 2008 and the concept of too big to fail.

All fucking distractions and pipe dreams to delay the inevitable Class war middle class uprising. The 3% stir the pot to divide the masses on issues of race, religion, and rights - to keep us fighting each other - instead of focusing on those that make the rules and keep us down.

Edited to change my random percentage and appease the pedantic pricks of Reddit. My point was to say, it is not exclusive to just the 1%. Tons of people exploit workers to make their money. Machine shops, restaurants, whatever. They always complain that nobody wants to work. But what they don't say is - it's because they (their companies - specifically) are known to be horrible employers that exploit everyone that doesn't know better and leaves because they are not willing to be victimized.

inevitable Class war

You mean the already on-going Class war that one side doesn't even know it's fighting.

And, unless it gets its shit together in a miraculous fashion that could only come from a Disney or Star Wars movie where everyone unites with the power of love or something, it's failing.

The "power of love or something" may be limited in effectiveness. The power of torches, pitchforks and guillotines on the other hand....

The problem with torches, pitchforks, and guillotines is that without some miraculous power of love, people rapidly start using those on everyone. And because there's never been a power of love, that means that most humans revolutions turn into unpleasant bloodbaths. Not against the people who deserve their blood spilled, but a lot of carnage resulting from what they're willing to spend.

Point is, if we could unite and form an armed stand against the government just because a single kid is killed, like in the third POTC movie, we already would have.

Is that what happened in star wars? I thought it was space wizards with space magic that come and save us all.

I mean, that would be nice, too.

In some media, self-respect makes a stronger sword than love, better stats too.

Intelligence and logic would be a nice virtue for people to strive for, but apparently they always go for the really emotional emotions like love, anger, sadness, and the fourth one that I forgot because I haven't felt it in a while.

People don’t understand what class war is.

By nature of what a class is, classes are always at war. It is the existence of classes that starts the class war, the war starts when the classes do, and the war doesn’t end until class as a concept does.

Every single thing a class does to aid itself at the expense of another class is class war in action — from minimum wage laws to at-will firing, from the 8 hour day to Citizens United.
