Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?
Same difference. No one is willing to start a fight with people who are well-equipped with arms and actual weapons when all they have are torches and pitchforks.
No, not same difference.
The opponent is a modern military, and I have an assault rifle and Molotov cocktails.
If I’m starving to death, yeah maybe I take up arms. If I’ve at least got some food and a charged up phone? I might tell myself I’ll take up arms tomorrow, but again, let’s face it.
I would hardly call the military in North Korea modern, but the people who live there do not have charged up cell phones and full stomachs. Why aren’t the citizens taking up arms?
Could it be because not having arms is a tremendous obstacle to taking up arms? You say, “No.”
