I understand why the French were fed up and went agro on the wealthy in 1789. Most Americans view the wealthy as heroes and will continue to take it up the ass without lube.

The wealth distribution right now in the US is almost the same as it was in France at that time

The French were starving to death in the streets in 1789. In the US, the average poor person is exponentially more likely to suffer from obesity, than to die from lack of food.

I wouldn't hold my breath for the American people to revolt like that--things are simply not nearly as bad in the US now as they were in France then, and it's ignorant to equivocate them like this.

have you ever seen commonly malnourished people groups? rapidly putting on weight is basically the norm for them

If I may suggest. Work and live in a 1st World EU country and one will quickly realize how far behind the USA is and what should be fixed. Crime and violence will decrease too.
