    That’s the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they’ll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.

    If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we’re a society and that class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.

    This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don’t start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.

      No, they will crack down harder, think Combine. Proles will be mutilated into unthinking homunculus, and resistance will be met with deadly force and conversion.

      Remember, the rich are otherworldly entities with incomprehensible powers, and not humans like the rest of us.
