Violent Revolution is Inevitable

[Koolay]

Across the world, the young are facing unprecedented lack of job opportunities and economic prospects, while the old reap the benefits of a cushty benefits from the government. They have exploited the young, taxing them for ridiculously high and making in near impossible to find work.

You understand, that the old can never beat the young. The young are those that can wake up from a car to go to work with a spring on their step. The government can only bribe the young with goodies for so long before their crushed opportunities and hope gets bottled in for so long, until they explode with anger. We are seeing across the world, a new era of protesters, rioters and youth enlightenment from Europe to Asia to Africa.

There will inevitably be a war between the young and the grey haired exploiters when the governments of the world run out of bribe money. And the young will win, of course they will win. They have the energy to do so and no commitments, especially if they have been forced out of a job...

Do not act surprised, that which is suppressed will always win in the end.

You aren't the first person to "predict" a violent revolution.

You also won't be the first person to be wrong about it.

There has been major riots and protests throughout Europe, this is just the tip of the iceberg as it spreads throughout the world.

So long as people can live a nice comfortable life with plenty of food then they aren't likely to risk dying when they have it so good.

What would old people fight with? Jay Leno doesn't make a good weapon.

We had a sitcom based on this theme back in the seventies.

Citizen Smith it was called.

In the last episode he found a tank and drove on Parliament.

Very funny show.

NEVER, ever gonna happen in USA, that's one of the reasons I moved here, nice and quiet

Europe, nah, only few Balkan nations every 50-70 years or so, but, that's normal over there

Revolution? Yes. Violent? I don't think so. We'll probably see a major shift in the demands made of the government over the next 20 years, however. Pressure will mount to hold the government accountable as the old and complacent geezers die off to make room for the younger, sharper, more interconnected crowd. The death rattles of the baby boomers will be the sigh of relief for the rest of us. The government will try to get away with more shit [as it's already trying to do], people will start getting pissed off, but rather than violence, as history has always advocated, change will come in the form of people simply changing their ways. Expect numbers of conservatives to continue a slow but steady decline, the slow but also steady rise of progressive ideologies, and the government to start being comprised of people who give more of a shit about their constituents as people stop voting based on party lines and rhetoric and more on issues and common sense.

The world's in a unique position. It's never before had such rapid exchange of ideas so readily and easily available. That'll play a huge factor in how politics across the world play out.

Oh yeah? So tell me, gov't hater...why are you spending all this time whining on this forum instead of getting out there and protesting?
