The sh*t is about to hit the fan

Argument Topic: No revolution, thank you very much

Assuming you are referencing America then most likely not. 

The economy is doing well, unemployment is low, a general lack of desire for resistance/revolution, two obvious rival nations who challenge greater American values and a general belief in the justice system. 
On the other side though, social stratification does appear to be increasing but the general narrative of American 'upward mobility' is still present.

Also revolutions are fast and trials are slow. The slow dripping of information through a court case will merely be a form of entertainment and will deflate any talk of revolution.

@jack Well your got to realize that the dog mess is all ways hitting the fan in all spears of life because thats what life is yin and yang. So when you analize it in the end its not about the dog mess hitting the fan its all about how you Dodge it and how well you can wip off the dog mess that sticks to you. Your got to look at the right prespective.

Hello a:

That's exactly who I'm addressing.  We're at inflection point in history..

I'm ever the optimist, though..  I HOPE we come down on the right side, however, I FEAR we won't.

Will the Sh!t hit the fan? Well, they do make special pumps to pump crap so unless you are monkeying around and are throwing it at the fan. I would say just call a septic service and have it pumped in a container and taken away.

Trials and convictions loom on the horizon.  Will it be business as usual???

A particular field of endeavor, yes it sounds so.

I wish the OP was willing to put in enough effort into his posting for others to, at least, be able to understand what he is talking about... But no, he now routinely posts his streams of consciousness - on a debate website, for some reason.

Thinking that, perhaps, I am missing something, I decided to ask GPT-4 to translate this one for me. My prompt:

Hi ChatGPT,
On a debate website I participate on, someone created a thread with the following opening statement:

"Hello:
It IS..  Red lights are blinking..  The air is palpable with hate.  Trials and convictions loom on the horizon.  Will it be business as usual???  Uhh, NO it won't.
excon"

I am at a loss as to what this means. Could you make a reasonable guess?

Its response (key parts highlighted by me):

The statement is highly abstract and seems to be intentionally vague, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact meaning. Phrases like "Red lights are blinking" and "The air is palpable with hate" suggest a sense of urgency or danger, as well as negative emotional tones. "Trials and convictions loom on the horizon" implies impending judgment or accountability. Finally, "Will it be business as usual??? Uhh, NO it won't" suggests that change is imminent and that things will not continue as they have in the past.

The statement may be an expression of concern or warning about an evolving situation, though it's not clear what specific issue or topic is being addressed. It could relate to politics, social issues, or even personal experiences, but without further context, it's hard to say for sure.
In a debate context, this kind of opening statement may be intended to provoke thought or stir up discussion, though it lacks clarity, which could make it challenging for participants to engage meaningfully without further elaboration from the original poster.

Hello May:

Yeah..  Some people understand what I write, and some people don't..   I'm cryptic, brief, snarky, and more often than not, absolutely correct in my assessments.

Bite me.

PS>  Below this debate, I started another one wherein I said:  When the Marshals show up to arrest Trump, will there be a shootout with the Secret Service??

It's short, snarky and accurate.  I wonder if you got it..  Proly not..
