The UK and US just print up a bunch of money and hand it to the rich. Prices rise for the poor and some people get real frickin pissed off because of this obvious injustice. This is an attack on the people, class warfare at its simplest. But most of the population remains obvlious because of the subtlety in which they engineer this massive looting and wealth transfer.
Contrast this with countries like Greece and Spain who are facing the exact same austerity, except that it is shared more equally and there is no illusions/delusions about how bad things are getting. These people at least have the chance to redress their grievances and change things for the better. Not so for the US and UK. Here in the US most people have no clue how bad it is, because it is being papered over by debt. Credit is being used as a weapon of warfare, by the rich, to completely and utterly wipe out the country in a cold calculated manner. The act is actually so violent as to be on par with the slaughter of children at sandy hook, and I think there is a strong connection between what the elite are doing and what random nutjobs are doing in schools, malls, and theaters. Reject that connection at your own peril, I dont care how dumb and ignorant you want to be. But you will not claim that you were never warned.
Riots and bombings and mass unrest kill hundreds, even thousands, which is bad enough. But what is happening with our system of money and credit is something that is going to outright kill millions.
