But I hear what you're saying, and agree.

Another "funny" thing - if the PTB crush the peaceful, political rebellion, they merely set the stage for the alternatives.

One day, the proles will stand up. We will be carrying pens and ballots, or torches and pitchforks. Take your pick, oligarchs. If the former, perfect, but if the latter...no one will think the situation "funny" at all.
