And it is why we are starting to see so much more unrest regardless of what country you're in.

Global communications are now such that it is impossible to hide a worldwide trend like this. It is also becoming easier to make direct comparisons between conditions country to country as a side effect of globalization.

The trend itself is not surprising, but it does highlight a need for action which is not limited to a single place.

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.
