If someone with a fairly good life does it, what do you think someone capitalism and greed has driven to desperation might do now that we've seen how wildly effective it is?

I understand why the French were fed up and went agro on the wealthy in 1789. Most Americans view the wealthy as heroes and will continue to take it up the ass without lube.

The French were starving to death in the streets in 1789. In the US, the average poor person is exponentially more likely to suffer from obesity, than to die from lack of food.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for the American people to revolt like that–things are simply not nearly as bad in the US now as they were in France then, and it’s ignorant to equivocate them like this.
