    The better technology gets, the better the oppression and suppression will get, the worse it will be before people revolt, eventually they will be too feeble to revolt effectively.

    Where do you think we are in that progression?

      Maybe, maybe not. There’s no way to predict what direction technology will go with certainty.

      It could be the case that it eventually becomes impossible to revolt due to technology being insurmountable. Maybe it won’t be the case.

      But what is certain is that people will revolt in mass if they have their backs against the wall and nothing to lose. And we’ve been circling the drain on that.
