    Hahaha if that calculation worked anywhere there would be no billionaires, no dictatorships, no people would be oppresed and the proletariat would rule every country… Hell we wouldn’t even pay rent.

        I dunno what history you’ve been reading but a peasant mob against the aristocracy and all their armed bodyguards tends to not end well for the peasants.

          To be fair, depends on what your perspective is. A person in/after the french revolution, might didn’t have the best time, I mean… In the revolution, a lot of people died and afterwards we talk about a time called the reign of terror for a reason. But as a completely detached spectator, and the power of hindsight, you might think that the little man won against the rich.

          So from a completely detached perspective with no real threat to anything which is meaningful to oneself, one might conclude that the little man has won in the past and would win again. It ain’t your price to pay, you know.
