It feels that at this point, the ruling class has gotten so good at giving us just enough to keep us from outright revolution. It's little bonuses here and there, it's providing just enough to keep us afloat long enough to get through the next election, it's information manipulation to have us arguing with each other rather than focusing our anger on them.

It's going to be extremely difficult to break that control.
