You're literally advocating for Mexican-American War 2 here. If it was anyone else but MIGF I would be surprised.

The ecological disaster that the wall would produce is just a fun super bonus too!

And how close are YOU to set aside the shitposting and refined sugar and start slaughtering the upper classes while living like a hunted dog? Nobody is going to revolt in a country which actually matters, those days are gone outside of shitholes which only serve as resource mines for the west.

I rather agree, society maybe 2 missed meals away from anarchy but crappy calories are cheap and even our government isn't so stupid as to let 20 somethings starve. If it's kill or starve, sure, the poor rise up. Otherwise you'd be shocked what people can be convinced is normal and tolerate as long as they can be convinced it's temporary.

So I'm seeing commercials for car sales offering 5 months of no payments...

There's a massive bubble ready to pop here when it comes to car loans and this poo poo is only going to make things worse. It's insane.

Those have always existed. No payments till next year has always been super common when they're clearing off last year's models. Some dealers just figured out that they can basically offer the same thing before they cut prices in September and make out better.
