the rich and powerful get that way because they know how to manipulate their world. changing the game is a bad plan when you are a master of the current one.

making preparations for failure is logical but to manufacture that failure would be illogical.


no1 is suggesting its those in power who would revolt , just the opposite

and history shows revolutions , over and over again
one would need to be a fool , to beleive it wont happen again ......

there is no logical reason against powerful people preparing for such events
except that we beleive that they are ignorant , or blind , or some such thing , and just never saw it coming

what i am saying is these days revolting is a lot more less likely than in the past. people have become more docile and comfortable with the way things are setup. the working class can complain and complain but they won't risk the safety of their job. people have more to lose these days and they really really don't want to lose what they have even if they have to take shit daily to keep it.

revolution might happen but current societal structure makes it unlikely at best.

and to be clear manufacturing the death of 7 billion people because you don't like the way they act is revolution even if it is extremely harsh and selfish.

apart from being merely your personal opinion , history disagrees
scientifically , an evidence or experiment based theory would expect the same " punctuated equilibrium " , to borrow a term

medium to long periods of stability , punctuated by short periods of instability , is the history of societies
there is zero evidence to support a theory that anything has changed that im aware of
but if you can find someone reputable claiming otherwise .......

Posting in a conspiracy nutter thread.

Name some reasons why you think "rich people" are going to want to eliminate a substantial majority of the population and I'll respond by telling you why they're very poor reasons to think the way you do.


This. Also you have no proof? show us some statistics or links or even crazy youtube vids!
