If People Understood This One Thing, We Would Have Revolution Overnight

4. more delusions and fables

“Having that much wealth consolidated within a mere 1% of the population, while a record number of people toil in poverty and debt, is a crime against humanity"

If this statement is true then for most of written history man has been toiling in poverty and debt.
For the better part of the majority of this history this 'crime against humanity" went unchallenged.

Occasionally we saw uprisings and even more rare were revolutions

So historical evidence suggests a revolution in today's situation is slim to none

"For example, it would only cost 0.5% of the 1%’s wealth to eliminate poverty nationwide."

Poppycock and hyerpbole!

We heard this same garbage from the delusional Marxists
That turned out real well didn't it?

"Also consider that at least 40% of the 1%’s accounted for wealth is sitting idle. That’s an astonishing $13 trillion in wealth hoarded away, unused.”

More hyperbole generated as mere 'mind pablum' for the unwashed.

If there is one thing a wealthy plutocrat does not do it is let his wealth sit idle.
No matter what they will find some means of their assets remaining valuable and not be stranded assets and they will assure that those assets appreciate

So does this appreciation of their assets translate to increased prosperity for all?
Of course not.

But if we are to see any real changes in the economic status of the masses we need to avoid simple hyperbolic screeds and get serious about reality

There has always been the 'have nots and the have mores)
Trying to change this reality is like wishing away gravity

The real answer is in accepting these facts while still being creative and resourceful enough collectively and individually to make the best of a bad situation

Workers CO-OPs and a Steady State Economic models would be a good start

Of course the sheep will have to first stand up (or at a minimum at least look up and see the cliff edge dead ahead) and demand to be recognized before that can happen.

I don't think the 1% are losing any sleep worrying about that happening anytime soon.

Hell the sheep even slept through the entire 911 noise and 'coyote attack'

I'm not even certain a nuclear bomb could awaken us from our bliss and self delusions at this point in history.
