We shall see.

Such mass riots are fairly easily channeled and suppressed tho, by a police and military with corpocrat backing and modern crowd control and information control technology.

The way that crowd protests have been managed and made meaningless this past decade, as example the protests against these "wars of choice" and free trade, does not bode well for protest and crowd resistance in america.

Tho, one can make the argument that the people have access to their own technology.

What I expect to happen is this - protests will start, then the corpocrats will trigger off and fund counterprotests by the tea party or whomever they chose as their brownshirts, setting groups against each other like dogs in a pit.

Then the mercenaries move in with advanced crowd control technology "to restore order", backed by the police and military.

It's a tested formula.
You have all of these ideas and conspiracies about "the man" but I honestly don't understand where you're going with this. What are you going to replaced the corporations with? Other morons who just happen to have less money? What is this ideal utopia you speak of? Who you replace is going to do the same thing any other lead plans on doing and that's getting into the pockets of the rich and letting them control what they need. This is capitalism and while it has its flaws, I challenge you to find something better, realistically speaking of course.

It's just the same thing from the majority of people on the net. "Two sides of the same coin", "get rid of the greedy corporations". And replace them with what? I'd rather have rich people run our country than poor ignorant ones, wouldn't you?
