"revolutions" are caused by wave function collapse in a system, not the do-good heroics of idealistic individuals

let's analyze the current situation. The current debt bubble is just such a collapse poised ready to happen. The G20 nations are beyond bankrupt and when they finish milking the developing world dry to prop it all up they will have to either start a war with a BRIC nation or start seizing domestic private wealth. Seems to me that with the advent of of the "security" state and total informational awareness in the G20 nations the most likely target is private wealth. However they may try war first but I think that would only serve to hasten the collapse at this point. Also in favor of the view that external conflict is the less likely of the outcomes, the BRIC nations are in the same boat and will only try to plunder their own citizenry into oblivion as well so they are no actual existential threat unless attacked first. The domestic target is far easier pickings, especially now that they have rigged all the exits.

Either way I fore see a massive reallocation of human capital on the horizon.

Since the fall of Bretton Woods the US economy has undergone a major transformation due to technical advances made in finance and information technologies .

Only problem is we have also been gaming the global economic system described by Keynes by using USD as the worlds reserve currency in order to defer the external costs of profiteering to the developing world, and to a lesser extent domestically.

That is what the concentration of wealth in the hands of the 1% represents in the big picture. Remember the G20 nations have 1000 trillion in unfunded liabilities. If they don't fund them somehow it will undermine confidence in the system and it's infrastructure in a big way the house of cards will collapse and guess who will get left holding the bag?

Everyone in the world who holds a position in USD, the penultimate pump and dump scheme/weaponized currency.

You guys keep talking like we're a normal country, where when it goes to shit people lash out against those in power.

That won't happen here, because Americans have been conditioned to believe that there's always some other villain except the plutocrats.

Right now it's poor black people, or liberals, or socialists or... eek! Muslims.

When the shit hits the fan I'm sure all the usual suspects will again be offered and then it'll probably be something along the lines of "Well, to make this nation great again, we need austerity!" Which will create even more poor and eradicate even more of the middle class and by that point it will be too late.

Oh wait I forgot: all those private gun owners will somehow form a militia and we'll have another American Revolution and the country will be restored.

Ted Nugent will lead us to freedom!
