How is this economic system sustainable in the long run? Why is no one revolting considering the absurdity of pic related?

It's not. The vice grip will continue to squeeze. When the poor revolt the rich will retreat to their bunkers and watch us kill eachother on TV.

~80% of people are unironically NPCs incapable of thought. Once you accept this the world starts to make a lot more sense.

Digits say it all. People are too comfortable nowadays.

Short answers:
- No, and everyone knows that who is above NPC level and looked into basic economics
- because all elites are on board
- and tools are in place to keep the plebs in check until it’s too late (media, entertainment, Unis. Schools)

Romans were right when they said bread and circus are the only things needed to keep the masses on a leash.

It isn't, even if we become a thpe whatever civ there is a hard limit on the amount of energy we can capture and use pee unit of time. Growth therefore has a similar hard limit, even with efficiency gains.

working 40 hours
then your wife is working another 20 hours
then your working 55 hours and your wife is work 40 hours
then your working 80 hours a week and your wife is working 60 hours a week and your teenage kids have to get part time jobs
but you still have internet and food and a pod and 6 hours on the weekend to be with family to take care of house hold chores

The bottom 90% are progressively less able to take action
Look at the history of the roman empire - income inequality that lasts for centuries eventually becomes simple feudalism

its funny becuase as soon as we get to that point of uncomfortableness, those who dwell above will already have counter measures in place.
jan 6 th was prolly the last time anything could have happened, and the system is working in over drive to ensure it never happens again.

Idk bro Michael Burry doesn't think so.

honestly the SOCTUS is making moves to address any potential revolt by removing Miranda rights and using the abortion decision as cover.

can you name a single countermeasure that could remotely counter an angry, hungry mob

A swarm of drones with missiles.
A flamethrower.
An APC with an auto cannon.
Have you never seen a person get vaporized by heavy weapons fire? The people around them panic and flee.

It's a misleading plot. There isn't a fixed pie. The story looks different if you plot total wealth of top 1% and total wealth of bottom 90%. Both groups have gotten wealthier in an absolute sense, but the top 1% have gotten relatively more wealthy.
