A repeat of the French Revolution is the real reason behind the bunkers of the ultra wealthy.

The crazy thing is millionaires have more on common with us normal workers than they do with billionaires.

Hasan Piker was listing all kinds of "a million _____ is _____ but a BILLION ______ is [some ufathomably larger thing].

People don't understand multiplication very well...

Millionaire? Wow, Newsweek is really slumming it these days.

10 years from now: Homeowner CEO says ...

The US govt shutdown is a distraction. The real story is the generals being fired by Hegseth. When they are replaced by Trump loyalists, the real civil war will begin. The goal of Project 2025 is to install a white supremacist evangelical ruling class in power. They have already published everything they want to do, all you have to do is look.

Venture capitalist Bradley Tusk told LBC: “If Elon Musk says he needs a trillion dollars because he's going to solve global hunger or something like that, great, have at it. But I don’t know what you could possibly buy with a trillion dollars that you couldn't buy with a hundred billion, or probably even $10 billion.”

Well at least he's aware of how much money a trillion dollars is and how easy it would be to solve world hunger.

Millionaire CEO? Who is this broke bitch?

Don't threaten us with a good time...

Trump is counting on it to declare martial law and never have another election.

So you are saying there is hope

People, you've gotta stop waiting for a revolution.

Any "solution" that starts with "you first" and involves fighting against forces that vastly out gun you, with people you absolutely would not agree to fight with is a complete non starter.

You have to realize that even if such a revolution happened, after it happened, they'd just pick the same systems that lead to that result.

You want a hail mary but you will not get it.

The practical buckleys tagline solution you all hate but is the only one that works is supporting the fuck out of the democrats in not only the short term (to stop so many people from being harmed), but in the long term too, this way they can't just use the right as an excuse to go to the right. All that time, youll need to replace the old guard with more progressive members through overwhelming support in primaries, and being active in state and local politics.

Thats the only way forward where you can win, and its a lot more feasible and less painful than any revolution fantasies. In any of those fantasies, its more likely your head rolls than any of the ghouls we all hate.

So just some guy saying stuff? This isn't news. It's capitalist propaganda.

Hey the french revolution was also about the fact that the government was a scandal ridden shitshow of petty internal politics and stupid interpersonal games.

…oh no, Bastille day approaches huh?

Don't threaten me with a good time

He isn't wrong. All it takes is the right amount of people to be pissed and revolution explodes. If the oligarchs think they have it rough now, wait until they are being lynched in the street by people who haven't eaten a decent meal in recent memory. Look up 1918 Russia if you don't believe me.

Yes. It very well could. In fact a lot of people are preparing for that. And what makes me chuckle at that is that the billionaires think they can survive in their super fancy bunkers.

Lets hope he is right.

People are too divided for an Actual revolution, but I'd say let's try
