Nothing is as powerfull as hunger, to get people out demanding some heads on a Stake... Most of the revolutions, at least sinse 1789, have been when pepole have been hungry enough to demand rights... And if the government was not able, or willing to understand how bad things was.. Heads was rolling, literaly and figural...
Last time, in the 1930s, US really dogded the bulled, when they was able to wote in FDR. Even tho he was not able to make miracles he did a lot to help the common pepole, and he had the vicedom to understand how bad things was, before he got elected.. And he had posible managed a 5 time in the White House, had he not been sick and died in 1945.. Just before Hitler and NAZI Germany was defeated.. But he died in the wicedom, that Hitler would be dead. sooner or later. And that USA would prosper... As it did for many, many years.. And FDR was vice enough, to speak to the pepole, who was in troubles, and give them HOPE of a better future than current.. He was smart enough to get out, and se how bad things was.. Both before he was elected President, and after he was elected president.. And as many of you older DU'er have told, FDR was a man who was admired by many, many who else had been in the lines, trowing stones of the mighty and powerfull in the revolution.. if it ever had come to US...
Untill the elites and the old enemies of the commomn man was rising their heads again.. They never learned the leasssons last time, they just bidded their time.... And now they belive they are as powerfull as they ever was.. They had to hide, and to play nice becosue they was afraid of what could happend, if the pepole got enough last time around.. When it really was a posibility that the americans could revolt against the government.. Many of the powerbrokers of the day, was scared shit about that posibility.. Today they are not that afraid, as they belive the commons are not willing, or ableminded to go out in the streets in their ten of thousands, maybe millions to demand changes...
But it can happend, as it did in Paris in 1789, in Berlin the 1800s, in St Petersburg in 1905 and 1917... and as it did many other places in the 20th century, when peopole demanded a change from what they had... Even the end of the cold war, the end of the Berlin Wall an all that, was about changes, and the disability of the government to do what should have been doing for many years... And it all ended in ways that was never belived before it ended..
And US IS a land of the extremes.. When US really go over the top, in one way or another, US really go over the top, and go to the extremes.. I just hope it dosen't explode in a hell fire all of it..
