ARE ONE-PERCENTERS SCARED, YET?!?!

 


They know how the French Revolution started, right?

Are they scared, yet?

Back at the beginning of the 19th century, it was the "Second Estate" who held all of France's wealth, well them and the Church (i.e. "The First Estate"). They represented TWO PERCENT of the nation's population. In 21st century America, the wealth holders are an even more elite ONE PERCENT. They know what happened to France's Two Percenters, right?

So have they learned nothing from history? You can only stand on the necks of the other 99% for so long before a grumble becomes a revolt becomes a revolution that totally topples your government. I feel we are on the verge.

Ever since the George Floyd riots and the BLM movement came on like a storm, we've seen a shift in the national consciousness. It stands to reason. My daughter's generation is one of the most liberal we've seen since the civil unrest of the 1960's. Millennials are about to take over at the ballot box. And they don't like the choices they are being given--a convicted felon/wannabe dictator or a mostly dead old money Democrat/career politician/baby sniffer. There is no winner in that two-ticket scenario. I'd rather vote for a rotting carcass.

The one-percenters have done their damndest to hold onto power. But rich, old white dudes, I've got news for you. The clock's ticking and you're not getting any younger. Shoot yourself up with collagen, dye your hair, hell, cryogenically freeze yourself and blast your frozen self into space, your time is up. The revolution is coming for you!

I've been preaching this to my daughters since they were in middle and high school. "Get involved and TAKE BACK YOUR GOVERNMENT!"

They want to see a government that works for them and regular people and stops treating corporations like they are the weary and poor. Sidenote: Why do we call it socialism only when it benefits real, breathing human beings??? STOP CORPORATE WELLFARE AND BANK BAILOUTS!!!

Start listening to the populous or they'll be forced to demand your attention at guillotine point. How fond are you of your heads?

Are you even listening one percenters?

Those who don't learn from history...and we've been going down this Revolutionary Road for some time now. If January 6, 2021, taught us nothing else, we are ripe for another 1776 moment. Instead of fighting a monarchy and parliment an ocean away, it'll be our very own government on these shores...on the very steps of our Capitol. Sad that it has come to that, but do you see another way out? (NOTE: I don't condone the Jan 6 attacks in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. It's not the politicians who are to blame anyway, it's their corporate backers. Go after them!)

The one percenters aren't going to let go of the levers of power, not until we pry them from their cold, dead fingers. Yet the vast majority of you will sit there, all cozy, in your whitewashed suburban paradise with two cars tucked safely in your garages, thinking nothing can be done to fix Washington DC.

Well, Trump certainly wasn't the answer. He didn't drain one centimeter of the swamp. Nor is the mostly dead Commander-in-Chief. WE NEED NEW BLOOD! And if you think AOC is "out there," wait until you see what's coming!

Millennials are hardcore leftists, by and large. They could give a shit about your blue blood or your institutions. AND I'M HERE FOR IT!

Housing prices are astronomical, as are groceries, fuel and other staples of our Western civilization. You can't keep expecting hard-working people to hold three jobs while trying to raise children and maintain a home. It's just not sustainable. And why should it even be that way? So rich, white, old men can keep lugging their 350-pound frames into their Wall Street brokerages, smoking thousand dollar stogies and laughing at the rat race we continually run for their amusement? 

We're tired of running on the hamster wheel. It's time to get off.

We've let them control the narrative for too long. And look what they've done with it! Divided us, that's what. They've painted us into left and right boxes, playing on our fears to keep us separated, when there's a whole lot more that unites us. Our hatred of the one percent, for example. But like sheep...

I'm not a sheeple. I see the writing on the wall.

Do they?
