As likely as the rapture. Or in materialist terms: as likely as the bourgeoisie giving up their private property and handing the reigns of power to the proletarian vanguard without violence.

Edit: I like Dr. Justin Sledge's idea that the revolution happening by itself (inevitable due to the contradictions of capitalism) as apocalyptic literature, as a criticism.

I live in constant pain because of exposure to chemicals, physical, and mental trauma that the USG is just starting to recognize through the department of veterans affairs. I lay awake each night wishing that I would die and not wake up tomorrow because it will just be more pain. Or I think that I deserve the pain; it is my penance for commiting an uncountable amount of suffering on the world in exchange for a bit of cash. I feel like I sold my soul to the devil but all I received in return is the understanding that everything will get progressively worse for the vast majority of the people on this planet.

Serious post: the new Huawei flagship phone looks pretty rad. I'll make the switch when my Sony breaks.

The point is to limit the ability of multinational corporations, and the countries that act as their muscle, to create famines though prioritizeing exports and price gouging. This makes food something that people have a right to, rather than a commodity that should be sold only to whom it can make the most profit from. Check out what happened to push bottled water over public water fountains.

Sorry, but you don't deescalate a dangerous situation with a martial art. Real life isn't a movie. You deescalate through conversation.Yet, some people are committed to a violent resolution, and in that case, there are no magic words, or chi, or anything else that will deescalate. You need to be ready to draw your weapon and kill, because they are. If that is not the case, then you don't need a martial art anyway. Even Marx carried a pistol because he understood that.
