This Is The Turning Point

Interesting perspective. 

This Is The Turning Point

"The saying  "the worm has turned"  refers to the moment when the downtrodden have finally had enough, and turn on their powerful oppressors.

The worms have finally turned against the privileged elites -- who have benefited so greatly from globalization, corruption, central bank stimulus and the profiteering of state-enforced cartels. It doesn’t matter as much as the punditry assumes whether they are turning Left or Right; the important thing is that the powerless have finally started challenging their privileged overlords.

Though the Powers That Be will attempt to placate or suppress the Revolt of the Powerless, the genies of political disunity and social disorder cannot be put back in the bottle. It took a generation of rising inequality, corruption and the erosion of opportunity to create a society of the  protected  (the haves) and the  unprotected(the have-nots), and rubber-stamping more regulations and distributing Universal Basic Income (UBI) will not rebalance a system that is irrevocably out of balance.

But the rise of resistance, as yet nascent, is only half the story: economic  trends and  cycles  are turning as well, and even if the worms remain passively underground, these reversals will disrupt the status quo. The dominant narrative--the rightness, goodness and sustainability of endless growth of consumption and debt--will unravel, and the internal contradictions of this New Gilded Age (widening wealth/income/power inequality) will finally burst through the thin façade of stability that’s been patched together over the past nine years of “recovery.”

Just fantastic konane

Time and place often give the advantage to the powerless over the Wrong Strong privileged elites - tides are turning ~

"When you see that trading is done not by consent, but by compulsion.
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing.
When you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors.
When you see that men get richer by graft and pull, than by work and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you.
When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice, you may know that your society is doomed."

Thanks Eddessa. I'm not sure about his markers, only time will bear that out. However I know people are fed up with empty promises while their lives shrink.
