(26,314 posts)Oh, they will be both white hot furious and crestfallen all at once but only after all the effective ladders have been pulled up will they see and anyone focused on a path to prevent such that depends on them seeing quicker is fooling themselves and everyone else as well.
As usual through history they will have to be run over or run around and allowed to resentfully and dishonestly play catch up after history has passed them by and even then a significant minority will ever work to restore the old order. What we deal with now are the sprouts of the last round of old seeds. None of this is new, just kinda new seeming to a brief frame of reference.
They won't be convinced or placated, they almost never are. Any examples are sparse even given a free hand to scour 10,000 years or so. They aren't going to sweep themselves into the dustbin of history nor will they be cajoled there. Sweeping is not a passive action, the dust gets a beating and thoroughly disrupted.
We are dead as fried chicken if we wait for these sleepers to awaken or dare fool our selves that everyone is convincible. Too damn many will consistently and willfully support the interests and whims of the ruling class, it is their nature. They crave such authority, it is their view of the natural order and I suspect can only be curbed over thousands of years that include major stress points that really shape the course of human events but even then it would not be eliminated because it is carried in the genes more than likely, a vestigial thing from ages gone past.
