What will it take for normie Americans to rise up and demand change?

[Mayor Adam West]

They're pulling the plug on "emergency allotment" snap this summer.

Starting in March 2020, people who qualify for any amount of SNAP have gotten the maximum for their family size. So someone who normally would have gotten $40 per month has been getting more like $250. For over two years now. Most states are still doing it. It comes in from the feds as long as your state declaration of coof emergency is still in place.

The whole program is almost certainly ending in July due to funding and coof having been thrown off the back of the train like a mob hit victim. Most people will get at most 3-4 weeks warning that their enhanced benefits will be going away.

Meanwhile, what cost $40 at the grocery store in 2019 now costs closer to $70.

Yeah yeah yeah everyone likes to poke at the stupid dumb proles who take handouts from the government. "lol lmao learn to code moron lol niggers." But if you do, if you just sneer from your place of self-assured comfort you're missing a whole lot of points. This has the potential to cause a catastrophe that makes the 2008 crisis look like a day at the beach.

Yeah. Just wait until the market can't take this much speculation and crashes due to hyperinflation. Or something. I'm not a nerd who understands economies. That shit's for nerds.

It'll take it being too late.

To clarify: With welfare gibs I actually mean ALL financial services provided by the state from the taxpayer such as (depending where you live) social security, healthcare, veterans benefits, various welfare programs and so on. Think less of you not getting any stimmy checks or tugboat tard gibs anymore, but more of your retirement being cancelled.

Who under the age of 60 expects to actually cash in any of their social security?

Medicaid is getting yanked too when the pandemic money is cut off.

Nationwide an average of 1 in 8 Americans receives SNAP.

Yeah because they're a <1% minority and they would get stomped.
But what if it gets to a point where the homeless are 20%+ of the nation and you have literally tens of millions of people sleeping on the streets?
You really think they would just sit there and do nothing?

If 100 people go to the Hollywood hills to rob some actor, you call the cops.
If 200k people go to the Hollywood hills to kick the actors out and live in their houses, what will the government do? Nuke LA?

Americans think they've experienced poverty and struggle over the last few years but they have no idea how actual struggle feels like.

This and, in "ordinary" times, homeless people are homeless because they are severely mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs, or have other such serious personal problems. This is very different from people who are "normal" and are legitimately made homeless by some external factor outside of their control (one example would be a war, in this case, some kind of big economic collapse is the implication). Of course I also don't think that very many "normal" people have been made homeless yet either, that's why the government canceled rent for 2 years or however long and handed out all those covid bucks.

I think we're currently a powderkeg. Each day we light matches but they all land in a bucket of water. One day, it won't land in the water. Normies won't do shit but I think that extremists will go on a rampage. It's quite concerning. After that, the normies will just want security. And I mean fair enough.

That's how most any violent political conflict goes, 80+% of people are NPCs who just want to keep their heads down. Ultimately they will be loyal to whichever side can give them that (relative security) in return for said loyalty.

If the regime is worried that turning off the gibs will cause chimpouts directed at them, they won't turn off the gibs. Maybe they'll end this program or that but overall trend the money printer will keep printing. There's a reason the gravy train has literally never yet ended with shit like social security and Medicare. Yes, they might be in trouble if all of a sudden people stopped getting their gibs, but that's also why the gibs will not be turned off. The real threat is the inflation becoming too unsustainable and fucking up the actual economy (as in the people who are actually productive and don't just live off of gibs).
