      I like to remember that America recovered from the robber barons and monopolists of the Guilded Age. It’s unfortunate that the thought rides tandem with the fact that it took a major world conflict and America seizing control of the world economy, and the America that emerged was really only great for white people. But maybe modern progressivism is less racist than it was and the next social revolution will be class based instead of race based. A guy can try to hope, a little bit as a treat.

        You don’t realize tech has changed things. They have total informational awareness, to the point they can turn a mother again their own kids. There is no bottom to this, unless we stop it, which we aren’t.

          While I agree there is no bottom and never was change will always happen…unless all of humanity die. Especially when you take everything away from someone and they have nothing left to lose. As seen with recent plumber brothers. Problem is nice Chunk of people see this as winning. I always wondered how in 1984 ppl saw their lives. Its soo disappointing and disgusting to see them enjoy themselves in filth like pigs.
