      The question is: how broken will their spirit be by the time that happens?

      Will they just lay down in fear and exhaustion rather than rising up against the people and system that abused them for so long?

        Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it’s just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.

        The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don’t really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.

          We already got the 1% robbing us blind into the grave. It would be nice to make this into an mutual arrangement.

            You’re probably going to need to track down some thermite to breach bunkers.

              Cement for the vents and doors would do fine.

                  Jackhammers also exist. The cement would only need to be there for like few days.

                    I wouldn’t mind robbing Pharaoh Elon Musk I’s tomb. He can try enjoying the afterlife without his goodies.

          Fer sure. There are plenty of people that need to suffer consequences, but suffering is an equal opportunity employer.

      Unfortunately a non-zero percentage will just say we need to keep doing the same shit except more and harder.
