    I’m not from US and maybe I’m dumb but isn’t the whole idea and major responsibility of country to protect the poor that are legs and support middle class that are lungs of your country ?

    You can place bets on the death of democracy on polymarket but can’t place bets on the death of CEOs. Kind of makes you think 🤔

    The “cop cities” that popped up around the country show that they’ve known for a while and have been preparing for it.

      The ruling class has way better grasp of Marxism than the vast majority of the western left. https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/

      Never forget that in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state.

    “…warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on rich people and corporate bigwigs”

    As they should and there’s not even a group left to fake blame.
    Usonian immigrants are in jail.
    The Usonian poor and un(der)employed is what most Usonians have become.

        Not exactly the right picture[1], but it will do.


        1. The “bugs” are us or the Palestinians in that movie,
          after a Dutch director decided to read up on an Usonian author
          and decided that they haven’t gotten the memo on what fascism looks like. ↩︎

      I think, and I’m basing this off of the vibe that underpins every interaction I have with strangers, that people are stuck in a limbo state, waiting for either a miracle or for the other shoe to drop. I think most people are holding out hope that this can be resolved in a way that doesn’t fuck up their whole daily life, but that hope is fading.

      Wait until the poor harvests next year due to the looming fertilizer crisis. Historically people who are eating regularly are much less likely to revolt. But that will not be the case for the US working class in a another year or so.

      This is questionable. Sounds like something the FBI might say it’s so explicit.

      I agree except we can reeducate the young children. I like how you go from that right back to tax the rich first 😂😅 they’ll get what’s coming. No kids tho

        No you have to eliminate their legacy. They can keep their lives and loved ones, OR their money but not both.

          I agree that you need to destroy their legacy but disagree that that’s what it takes to do it. The revolutionaries in China took the last emperor and made him a gardener. I understand that things happen in these situations and sometimes the quick solution is chosen, but overall I think it’s better to eliminate their power by scattering their wealth and converting their children.
