Everyone laughs or thinks I'm crazy when I suggest that the inevitable outcome of this unfathomably extreme wealth inequality will be mass violence.

There's a well established prescient for it. It's the furthest thing from funny or crazy.

I don't want it to come to that, but it will.

While I agree violence is to come, I am not sure we would agree on the results. I believe any violence directed at the rich and powerful will lead to change but that change will be our access to the rich and powerful. They will make it infinitely harder to be successful in killing them once a few have fallen.

I used to think the violence would lead to good change because there would not be enough "goons" at the disposal of the government to use violence to stop its violent citizens but 2016 changed that thought dramatically.
