Having studied history, I am increasingly convinced that nothing brings about violent revolution like an incompetent ruling class mismanaging difficult times. Revolutions are also pretty unpleasant things through which to live though, so hopefully the times will get easier or the ruling classes more competent.

There's a reason the statement "May you live in interesting times" is a curse.

There are fewer ultra rich that need killing though, so it should be easier and quicker this time around, right?
