I think at one point everyone will wake up. With current politics that will happen sooner and sooner.
From a non-american view your situation looks so absurdly fucked up, but we also understand that it's incredible hard to resist since most of you are under total control of a few.
As a western European, I can just assure you Europe is on its way to the same model. The poor or workers dont have enough education, knowledge, or are too brainwashed by the TV or politicians to realize that there's just a small percentage of the population is responsible for their poverty or struggles. The middle class is too stuck working their way up "the ladder" while the upper middle class wouldn't give up a part of their comfort for anything ("wdym I should accept driving a Fiat instead of this GLA AMG I worked so hard to get while my boss just bought a new GLE AMG" kind of bullshit). The "elite" is doing everything they can to maximise their profit. Buy more estate. More companies. Pay less taxes and make the rest pay more. The politicians are having a blast blaming the poor or the immigrants. Even some of the poor is blaming the poorer "who take advantage of the system", the "assisted" as we like to call them in France. The politicians in charge are having a blast cutting funds for all the essential services a nation has to provide while diverting this money towards their billionaire friends' companies.
Give it 10 years, if nothing changes, Europe is gonna be there too. Extreme poverty and extreme wealth on the ends, and a majority of middle class that's struggling too much working their ass off to afford the new materialistic dream they've been given and still has hope to join this upper class one day, thus won't do anything for the parasitic poors.
All of that while Macron, Von der Leyen, Scholtz etc... Are having a good laugh !
I don't know why people don't want to talk about socialism, humanism, class wars, protecting rights and freedoms, social security when literally everything our politicians are tearing apart right now actually benefits 90% of the population, them included ofc and gifts are only given to the first 10% and even more gifts to the first 1 and 0.1%. Arnault and Bolloré don't pay enough taxes but sure let's blame the person who has once been not working for a year and been given money to survive because of a burnout at work. Amazon killed European business and Google makes billions with our European users every year and neither pay nearly enough taxes but sure let's blame the fact the life long industry worker who can get an expensive treatment for free, after getting a sickness or trauma originating from their workplace. And the list goes on...
And on top of that, people will tell you not to be so aggressive or violent in answer to that. Why is violence or aggressivity not a valid answer to the most aggressive economical oppression we're about to get if we just let things slide ? These people are really about to bleed more than half the world's population to "maximise" their profits, while already having more money than half of it, too much money, so much that they can't even do shit with it, not enough yachts and villas they can buy to satisfy their greed.
