now that I’ve had my fun maybe you’d be interested in this very recent example
Thanks for proving my point I guess…?
the movement expanded against what many perceive as an authoritarian government when hundreds of protestors and civilians, most of whom were students, were killed.[f] The majority of the fatalities were caused by gunshots fired by the police and other government forces, using lethal and deadly weapons,[89] against unarmed protestors and non-protesting civilians, including children and pedestrians
Meaning it’s literal suicide.
Edit because you’re sure to bring this up: sure you might bring about change, but each individual in that protest holding a proverbial pitchfork is just yet another practice target for the cops.
My personal thought of the day:
If we keep referring to them as the ruling class we will never diminish the power they wield.
They are the undeserved wealthy. The takers of value and the destroyers of a balanced economy. They are often mocked, but instead they should be pushed off their gilded pedestals through progressive marginal tax rates that are equal to those of the early 20th century.
Why not rich assholes? Is actually fitting to a very large majority
Or rich psychopaths
Both are more fitting that “The Ruling Class”. Seriously, fuck those people. Burn down London Town.
A revolution will never happen and if it did we would just end up with some lunatic in charge. A power vacuum always attracts the people you do not want at the top. We’d just end up with some fascist system again.
Then remove the larger thing that creates the vacuum area. Don’t have positions of power.
Wow! You just solved everything! /S
No one likes cancer, therefore remove all cancer. What a genius take!
What about not liking work, surely we can just abolish it 🙄.
That’s actually how you treat cancer though. You remove all of it. And it hurts you while you do it but if you survive you get to keep going a lot longer.
Its like literally a fine analogy.
Democracy went away for 1500 years, then France tried it and reverted to Empire.
Now most people live in democracies.
How exactly did that happen? Educate us
People’s negative beliefs that the revolution would never happen is itself a tactic to prevent the revolution. More people believe that this cycle of destruction, exploitation, and death needs to end than believe we should allow it to continue.
This would be me, except I don’t like to stand in the tick fields.
