In Europe I can see the collapse of the welfare state leading to the rise of far-right and far-left parties, such as Golden Dawn in Greece, and a massive backlash against Muslim immigration. The masses have been kept docile with a steady diet of reality TV and promises of pensions for life/free healthcare. Once these promises fail to materialise I think we will see some deep 'you know what' hit the fan.

 

agree with ^ that, i'm genuinely concerned, given the level of integration in our societies over here, about the consequence of what'll happen when stuff turns nasty, because I can absolutely guarantee you, those that understand what's causing the problems are outnumbered 100's to 1 by the finger pointing burn the witch's.

The trouble with socialism is that it only works up until the person paying for it, has the money. The money supply just run out, watch what happens when proud first world countries with big armies lose their status, (and also watch how they cant afford to do anything about other countries flexing their muscles).

 

Spot on guys. I think twenty years from now, we're already past the socialism / civil war / reboot stages of the cycle and will be partying like it's 2006. I am not joking.
