    What was the question, “where is America going to wind up?” Because that also can only be answered with “nowhere.” Revolution won’t change anything. Yes more undeserving people will die, but eventually all the greedy animals will run the farm again and the rest of the animals will slave their lives away for it. There is no other outcome for humanity and never has been.

      This is not an answer either. The only solution is to actively advocate for the well-being of the middle and lower classes. Capitalism, as an economic model, must be regulated to prevent excessive exploitation and environmental degradation.

        It isn’t an answer, just a reality check. The only real solution is that we go ahead and nuke all of ourselves out of existence for good. Then, finally, we can have the kind of world where peace really reigns and animals are free to live without the nutjobbery of human worhtlessness.

      This is a self-fulfilling prophecy if enough people buy into it. I hope you stop.

      This said, I’m not supportive of violent revolution.

        I hope people realize there is not hope, we need to end this farce now and stop dragging it out. What I’m pressing for is total nuclear annihiliation of all people across the globe, and nothing less.

      So since it’s all pointless you don’t mind if we get you and your pessimism out of the way sooner rather than later ?

      Historically, this is inaccurate. Drastically upsetting the status quo, whether with violent or non-violent revolution, does not necessarily result in the status quo coming back.

      It wouldn’t always be the same individuals being successful after you redistributed land and wealth. You seem to think that greed and ruthlessness are the best ways or only ways to be successful. This is not true. People succeed though cooperation. Look for information about the Prisoners Dilemma, which is a thought experiment (and real experiment) about whether success is better achieved by cooperation or by ruthlessness.

        I don’t think greed or ruthlessness are ways to be successful at all, rather that they come from gaining success over others and then realizing you have people by their short hairs and can yank them in any direction you choose. That what oil companies do to us all year long, and most other companies as well. But I had control of a company, you’d better believe I’d be as ruthless as possible in making people miserable and having them pay through their nose for any product I might make.
