Comment on I feel like are all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there.

  The problem: human nature is such that those who overthrew the tyrants would shortly find themselves in power. They might even be just and true leaders. But inevitably, greed will out. I suppose the silver lining is the resulting system of oppression might not be so… efficient as it is now.

    The current system is in part because the rich got there by taking it from the previous leaders - every country has it’s revolution story, sometimes multiple ones - and they don’t want it to happen to them.

    So more likely the new system would be even more efficient.

  I believe it starts with Gen Z. Millennials are getting too comfortable, too safe, many have families and more to lose. Revolution is a game of young men. The problem is it requires a wise leader with vision, likely elder, manipulating and pulling the strings. And it’s so hard to be heard nowadays. You’d basically need the movement to go viral.
