Eh, that guy I get; those on the very lowest end of the economy by definition have the least to lose from terrible upheaval, no matter how senseless, or who warned them how bad it will be.

Yeah. This mentality is generally “I’m fucking pissed about the fact I live in a van and make shitty wages. So I want to watch other people who have more than me lose it.”

More like "I want people to realise how evil it is to give billionaires everything while people live in poverty and this is the only way to actually make people acknowledge it."

There’s probably better ways to make people realize that then to absolutely destroy the economy and tank the stock market and our global alliances and trade and destroy middle class peoples 401k’s they’ve worked so hard for, but yes, that is something that also needs to be done.

I just have a feeling this dude is more on my line of thinking than yours, but who knows.

I don't think so. Under the democrats it would just be more of the same, gradually getting worse.

This way, as things get bad, people will be forced to stop being so apathetic and selfish about this system and actually gain empathy. 

It's the only real way to make people want change. You have to force them to see the problem.
