An American Revolution…Modernized
This is an opinion piece based on what is happening right in front of us. America is headed for a revolution and it has nothing to do with Trump and the storming of the capital.
Elites are in a position to be frightened. This is proven by the walls and national guard outside of the capital. People are cheering while law enforcement and FBI personnel abuse their power per orders from above. Arresting business owners similar to a lady live streaming her store on Facebook and getting arrested even though her store was closed.
You see, I follow several show hosts that talk about politics and with that, I hear about almost everything. Politics is now in everything so if you want to talk about investing, get into politics. If you want to talk about sports, get into politics. If you want to talk about the internet and hackers, get into politics. More people than ever are involved in it and it’s due in part to social media and Google. There’s no age restriction on the internet or on social media. So let’s face it, while you were growing up trying to sneak a cigarette or taste your dad’s beer for the first time, the new generation was (and is) getting involved in online chats and comments that lead wherever some other rando wants it to go. Now i’m no doctor and I have no studies on this, but that seems like a recipe for at least double the influence on the current generation of kids/teens/young adults.
So where does that leave us…the average millennial? Well I can’t say for sure as nothing is certain. What I can say is from the looks of it this has been happening since the early stages of woman empowerment. Although it may not have much to do with that, there’s studies showing the decrease in sexual behavior among Americans and an increase in the “single life” as it were. Look, there’s no one thing that is going to cause a revolution. It’s just a matter of a lot of different things coming together. Add our societal problems to the economic problems we face at our door today and with that…I feel a breaking point coming for Americans. As Tim Poole puts it we are in a “culture war”. To him that means factions and separated states from big government. We’ll see.
On the other hand our 16th Federal Reserve Chairman (Jerome Powell) says they have several “tools” to combat the onset of hyper-inflation. Further, Jerome has actually stated that they have a plan to increase inflation as a sort-of “counter” measure, but he assured columnist that it would only be for a short time. All I can ask is who’s counting?
