good info. I'm curious if - in the context of this kind of framing - if this means the next (severe) economic rebellion will be delayed or hastened compared to times past. Whenever I look at what's going on in the US, being that there's a ridiculous concentration of wealth and resources adjacent to working people who are starving, I would think that it should have already happened by now. Obviously the establishment has taken great advantage with idpol in keeping an organized class rebellion at bay, this is a huge factor. But I can see the "individual achievement" mentality as working either way. On one hand, if you tell people that hard work will make them prosperous but the hardest working can't even afford to live, then you'd think they'd get wise at some point and just smash everything that the Kings and Barons own. What seems to be taking place instead is that over the millenia "They" have just locked down the game to a point where the poor will just tear each other apart for a slightly better seat in Steerage.
