When/if a global dissent/revolution happens, it will be chaotic - a mish-mash of different disaffected groups - with their disaffection in common.

Agreed. I think this protest in France is so successful, if you can call it that, because the disaffected are perhaps less divided than in places like the US, where the GODS have been very successful at pitting the poor and middle class against one another.

EDIT: ... successful at pitting factions of poor and factions of the middle class, OK, the middle class is dying, so pitting factions of the poor against each other. The worst nightmare of the GODS in the US is the poor realizing they're on the same side.
