I’m fairly confident it won’t be in my lifetime so, no, I don’t think I’ll see revolution and I don’t think it will be revolution but rather a toppling of the system simply because of unsustainability. All empires crumble eventually, this one will be no different. That doesn’t mean any of the masses instigated change. They will have just sat on their ass posting their memes and bitching on Facebook until someone quit paying the power bill.
I don’t think anything I do could be considered analysis. I’m just fairly observant and have always paid attention to how a population reacts to what I consider atrocities towards the masses and we have become increasingly ok with what’s done to us. I have not yet seen the trend reverse in any meaningful way.
Have you considered that analysis of data, historical trends, and broader systems may be more accurate than gut feelings based on one person’s observations?
Well, I feel that’s obvious. It’s also why you will never find me posting some ridiculous AI image laden meme in a community espousing my beliefs. The only reason you happen to know them is because you asked. I would never try to convince a group of people that what I believe is the One True Belief as I lack the ego for that. It’s just my take on what I see around me.
Sure. You came here to express your voice, after all. However, I do think that it’s largely unproductive to speak loudly or definitively on matters you haven’t yet thoroughly investigated. Asking questions is one thing, but having beliefs based on nothing but passive observation individually seems a bit rocky.
Perhaps leading with a question and sharing your current understanding would be a more productive way to frame a discussion?

Why? Vibes? Or actual analysis of trends and historical events?

I’ll save that for a legitimate post. The OP never had productivity in mind with this one.
Why?
To honor and respect the the OP’s intention that this be a shitpost without substance.
