Reply #36: I don't have any idea exactly when

[Tsiyu]

but I imagine HOW it will start as this: uncoordinated individuals or small groups will start destroying property, threatening corporations, maybe sniping wealthy criminals. Like the wikileaks phenomenon, some folks love to show the "high and mighty" just how UNsecure they are, gated communities notwithstanding.

The media will cover the first few attempts with a "tsk tsk" and faux outrage; probably a lot of lectures about morality and the importance of property will ensue.

Then the media will try to blackout the news, because the individuals inspire "copycats" - people who, rather than giving up and feeling suicidal, will be emboldened by how easy it is to rattle the wealthy.

And then, all bets are off as to what happens.

War is a funny thing. We define wars by the dates the "officials" vote us in or otherwise get involved.

But wars don't have any timetable or logical progression or any outcome we can control.

Once they start, they don't usually end until there is a lot of destruction.



Now, just like predicting the market meltdown (when I was laughed at) I will say I certainly don't want us to be at war here in the US of A. But Jesus, the wealthy and our politicians are pushing people to that end - almost as if THEY want a reason to open fire on the poor. You have to wonder just how far the poor can be backed into a corner...


There are a lot of folks without TV these days. They're bored and hungry and mad.

But surely they wouldn't revolt? :)
