Putting it in a historic perspective, every time the divide between rich and poor gets too large, there will be revolts. The whole Occupy movement was just a herald for things to come if the divide gets worse.
And because it will get worse, I'm betting revolts will actually get pretty damn violent within 25 years.
Keeping with the historic perspective; I remember last time there was a big revolt against the elite, literal heads were rolling. I'm all for keeping this tradition in tact.
Personally I don't see a revolution of any sorts any time soon, no matter how shite it gets (I'm talking about Britain and the US). The problem with a lot of people today are that they're INCREDIBLY apathetic, they're not gonna be willing to fight and die against anyone because "someone else'll sort it out". Also, I'm pretty sure if they could the British and US armies could wipe out any revolutionary forces with a quick swoop. All they have to do is say they're terrorists.
OT: Like what I've just said, I'm very apathetic. I'm only 14 for gods sake, it's not like I can do anything at all. And the adults of today have pretty much fucked my chances of success for tomorrow, what with university fees and more idiotic test systems and that. I care about the story of course, but really whining about it on an internet forum's not going to help anybody.
