This is what happens when you outlaw peaceful protest

8. I suspect that the corporate and authoritarian over-reach

that we are seeing now is actually calculated. The PTB know that if we give them an inch through our complacency, they can seize a mile, yet also know full well that at some point they will have to concede something back, just not as much as they stole. Analogous would be how lately banks are being fined by regulators, but the fines don't restitute the original amount swindled.

FDR saved the middle class and the poor, but he also saved the Rich from the middle class and the poor. Unfortunately their penance was only as bad as having to eat some peas, despite the complicity with Fascism at home, and in Europe.

The mad dash to vacuum up global property/resource rights while diminishing human rights increases the elites future bargaining power with future FDRs. If negotiations fail, then they can flee to their newly emerged markets, and let the former 1st world twist in the wind, or even declare war on it to repay defaulted debt (the same debt that they orchestrated).
