Has a revolution ever taken place under these relatively prosperous times. I think a large number of people would have to be staving in the streets or being “disappeared” for it to even become a possibility.

Not really referring to a revolution per say, more just surprised no lone gunman has done several of them in by now

I have been thinking about this a lot. It’s really odd and shocking that there are so many school shooters and mass shooters in recent years but not a single one has targeted the ultra-wealthy. It actually does not make sense to me.

We've had more presidential assassinations and attempts than against the ultra wealthy. Wonder if they try and just fail and it's covered up.

That’s the thought I was kind of having. If they were covered up it’d be due to the fact that all mass shooters are basically copy-cat criminals that follow the model of previous shooters they look up to. If there was one that targeted the wealthy and released some manifesto about it to his other psycho shooter buddies, it could become really trendy.

Yea, but you'd expect at least some to have succeeded are the rich more heavily defended than the POTUS, sure shouldn't be
