    Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it's just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.

    The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don't really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.

    We already got the 1% robbing us blind into the grave. It would be nice to make this into an mutual arrangement.

    Cement for the vents and doors would do fine.

    Unfortunately a non-zero percentage will just say we need to keep doing the same shit except more and harder.

    The question is: how broken will their spirit be by the time that happens?

    Will they just lay down in fear and exhaustion rather than rising up against the people and system that abused them for so long?
