its not an inevitability of what we know from the past, but an inevitability of what is occurring in the present. if you can't feed your family and yourself, and you lack what is needed to survive, you are willing to do what is needed to change that.
we all are living a life of debaucherous luxury, to such an extent that at 2 pm (or 11 am) on a tuesday we can sit and have this discussion through the marvels of the internet before deciding what type of diet we have for lunch. our options at entertaining ourselves are endless and we all live a life where we don't fear for it.
so we have to actively seek things to be upset about because it is human nature to find the faults in things. since our lives are so magnificent we are literally having a discussion about "the ruling elite" preying upon the fear of innocents and distilling it into a drug to keep their reptilian hearts ripe with youth and vigor
i mean come on lol
