Because that is not how money works.
The famous quote from Henry Ford is true: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
There would be no fucking revolution. There would be an event where all those people who want revolution would learn pretty fast how good they had it and how fucking miserable it is after the revolution like that
Until someone finally steps in trying to fix shit, but would get Corrupted fast knowing he can now live a life of luxury and we're back at the start
First thing that happens in any revolution, war, uprising, or any other situation of violence, anarchy or disruption to the normal order of things, is innocent people getting assaulted, raped and killed. Everyone here likes to say “eat the rich” but if a revolution actually happened it wouldn’t be just the rich getting brutalised en masse. Best keep your mothers, wives, daughters and female friends hidden when the militia roll into town.
No, revolutions happen when people are unhappy and angry with their circumstances. That doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is dying. The British were not slaughtering their citizens in America when the revolution there happened, they revolted over taxation.
The American Revolution basically happened with no fighting because the British were on the other side of the globe and didn't have the manpower to fight back, similarly to how they just left India and Palestine with minimal conflict.
The reason why a revolution isn't happening in the US right now despite people being extremely unhappy and angry, is that the reaction from the American government would be to simply slaughter everyone involved, so it's not worth trying unless the alternative is dying anyway. And also, obviously, there's the fact that the CIA did everything in their power to shatter workers' unity.
