People have choices. You don't have to be a beat down slave all your life. You can revolt. It's just that the will to revolt hasn't risen in recent times. But it would be interesting to see it happen again because I simply can't see how contemporary culture can continue a whole lot longer.
What I basically found out trying to "retire early" is that there are the "high" paying career jobs in offices and everything else is $10-$15/hr. crap work. There is barely anything in between, mirroring what is happening to the middle class--it is being hollowed out so that there will only be rich and poor and nothing else. Places like Mexico are already like this. It is sad and completely avoidable, but oligarchs and autocrats don't want it that way.
So revolution it will be. Only a matter of time and hunger.
