content: The scary thing is that the elites are just as aware, if not more aware that the public is discontent and looking for solutions. They call this thing "populism" or "lack of trust with authorities/media". They are actively trying to find solutions, and one of those solutions is co opting revolutions themselves or hijacking them. This they can use as a a way to vent of steam before someone else takes the lead(Antifa, Socialist riots, extinction rebellion, and so on).
