Why does the media print rags to riches stories?
Betty Sue makes $286,000 per month on Etsy. She started with nothing, and now she's filthy rich.
Come on, man. The chances of that happening to the average person are close to zero. Stories like this give people unrealistic expectations.

Gotta keep the American dream alive.
Give people hope.
People with hope don’t revolt because they still have something to lose.
Wouldn't want a class war brewing.
"Bread & circuses" is an ancient protocol, and hasn't been absent from any government policy since the invention of bread, beer, etc. #TheMoreYouKnow
The irony is that far right IS actually people revolting
They're doing it wrong I think
They rage in favor of the machine Rage Against the Machine rages against
Yo dawg...
They are in favor of printers?
It's pretty common that angry revolutionaries are used by another rich bastard to get into power by usurping the movement. The classic "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Not sure. I mean, yeah, the racist fascist narcissistic dementic monster doesn't looks like the ideal candidate in a democracy, but if your intention is to fuck the system that fucked you, while giving you a feeling of superiority, it looks like a perfect match. For too long, the difference between the Democrats and Republicans was cosmetic at best, some are pragmatic but some just want to fuck the system.
Well, they certainly are revolting, I'll give you that.
More that they are generally revolting people.
It isn't ironic that they are revolting people, though...
The peasants are revolting... They certainly are!
