Isn't this just a replay of the late Roman empire?
Wealth, power and control gets concentrated to smaller and smaller groups of people ... they get desperate for more power and co opt and manipulate the existing system to get their way ... they don't get their way and do even more extreme changes and create chaos
Everything falls apart and everyone loses everything.
The 1% have become untouchable, thanks to technology. They also don't have to satisfy us by ruling like a king, they just buy whatever they want and move on, like locusts.
