I just hope we do it sooner, using regulation and taxation, rather than later using pitchforks. But if the superrich keep successfully distracting the populace with bigotry and other sideshows, we might miss that exit.

Pitchforks won't work. The superrich learned from history and own private armies. Also, they don't live in the same town as the people with the pitchforks. Possibly not even the same continent.

They live within marching distance of some people with pitchforks. Beverly Hills isn't that far from Watts. Midtown Manhattan isn't that far from Harlem. And so on.

You and I have very different concepts of "superrich".

I seriously hope so, but I doubt it. The problem is that we have ever more militarized police and, thanks to digitalization, basically a real-life 1984 scenario. Our German Interior minister actually wants access to Alexa and friends for the secret services.

If the issue of massive inequality isn't taken care of, we are headed for even more of a cyberpunk dystopia than we are already living right now.

Pay no mind to the sinister undertones.
