  32.  @DistrictWitch  - The world has never moved on from Kings and Princes. Only we now call them "Billionaires". The kings disliked having their heads chopped off every couple of hundred years so they dropped the title and let the serfs play a game they called "democracy". The serfs get to choose between 2 essentially identical "parties" who both do the bidding of the kings and the good part is the "politicians" get all the blame whilst the kings have a nice quiet life. I live in Bulgaria now, an ex-communist country. Its really interesting to see the structure of a society that was [however imperfectly] designed and build for the benefit of the people who live in it. Its too long a discussion to have here - but my city is filled with thousands of fruit trees that provide [I worked it out cos I am sad] about £15,000,000 of FREE FRUIT every year for the people of this city. You don't do that in a western city cos that's £15 mill NOT going into the hands of shop keepers and the economy. Its hundreds of things like this that you simply never consider that you are getting screwed for. Schools - there are 8 schools within walking distance [15 minutes] of my apartment. Who benefits from gigantic centralised schools with 3,000 kids? The kids? NO. The parents NO. But its cheaper so you can give lower taxes to the rich... Where I live - a house / apartment listing gives you the minutes walk to schools, doctors, council office, hospital, playground, etc cos THAT is a factor here. It not in the UK cos its 30 minute DRIVE. Inevitably the green spaces will get built on. The fruit trees will get cut down. The schools will be merged - cos the country is "modernising" which is a euphemism for "getting screwed over by rich capitalists" A recent survey here 45% of people wanted to go back to communism. Another very long debate - but communism was nothing like we were told in the west. Both way better and way worse. But mostly very different to how we imagine it.

  37.  @nbandpinportugal  - well it will come from the top down. When the billionaires wake up to the fact all the cities will be on fire and their mansions in ashes and the police won't do a thing about it cos they AGREE... [yeah dumb mistake by the tories to cut the police - thatcher was not that stupid] The billionaires who run the show will introduce reforms and throw some beans out to stop it - if they have any sense. Macron in France has just nationalised the energy companies to ensure affordable energy this winter to stop the riots BUT - I dont think that will happen. Revolutions happen when three things come together 1) the ruling class get so hideously out of touch their every action is unwittingly cruel and self-serving, meaning the conditions of the working person are simply hideously deprived with NO HOPE of ever improving - Brexit, NI increase, Cost of living crisis 2) a new generation arrives that does not have the deference of the previous ones, has access to modern communication systems that the ruling class simply does not understand how to use - Gen Z 3) A massive - usually global event - a world war or a pandemic the elite in this country don't posses the neurological pathways necessary to UNDERSTAND how bad its getting for 10 million people. You can sit them down and TELL them in words of one syllable and they will think "it cant be that bad, he is exaggerating". In the same way a narcissist does not possess the neurological pathways to feel empathy, the British elites don't possess the neurological pathways to understand extreme widespread poverty, so they won't believe anything needs doing. So the cities will burn, and the police wont stop it. And when the police don't stop it - the elites utterly sh!t themselves cos THAT is a coup in the making, you have lost control.
