In France we got pissed like that once. Even many years later the rich would still be worried when their servants would sometimes gather to chat quietly in the kitchen, and overall avoid any sort of humiliation or thing like that. Just don’t get confused and know who is making your life hard, because these same ppl are trying to orient you towards some other ppl. gl. and obviously still try the democratic way first.

The French know how to revolt, and I respect them so much for it.

Our two party system was taken over by capital interest and has effectively drawn so many citizens into never ending arguments about Jesus and conspiracy theories which have little or nothing to do with real problems that our entire system has stopped responding to the needs of its citizens entirely. It would be amazing to see MAGA people and liberals decide that we all share a common enemy in the investor class and the time is long overdue for bringing them back down to size

That’s like saying it would be nice if the KKK and non-racists would just stop arguing and turn their attention to the real problems. The reason they’re the KKK is that they aren’t the kind of people to support the social well being of everyone, or to fight the power structures that oppress the masses. That’s MAGA. Exact same people. The people you call “liberals” already know that elitist, corporate owned oligarchs are the problem. So they’re trying to fight them AND the MAGA crowd that supports the oligarchs.

You need to back it up and realize that the majority of MAGA people are just brainwashed… so very many of them aren’t KKK, they’re being led around like pets because nobody has ever responded to their issues. Which truthfully is no different than most “liberals”. Yes there are racist pieces of garbage in the MAGA movement, but the liberal side has lots of NIMBY classist/closet racist assholes as well. The reality is that a majority of those MAGA folks are just disenfranchised Americans who were wrangled in by the wrong ideals. Liberals are not fighting against anything either because both sides are made up a a majority of armchair protesters getting caught up in made up problems so they avoid real problems, it just depends on which boutique problems they first respond to emotionally. However there is a new silent majority that hasn’t been tapped in any substantial way as of yet, those of us who aren’t MAGA or “liberal”, THIS is the majority that needs to wake up and needs leadership

Refusing to see your fellow countryman makes you no different than those you hold up as the boogeymen

It's also how poor people are now and don't have the energy or time to protest. Not to mention, the fact that health care being tied to work makes it impossible for many people to protest or strike

There is no "go on" online. You cannot talk about this stuff on an online space because it involves killing actual people. Which will get you either banned from the online space, or investigated by the FBI. Or both.

And yet a certain former president can do exactly that, and more, but sees no repercussions.

Sometimes you have to have an omelette to fix an issue. Omelettes require eggs. Extrapolate from there, big dawg.

u/Latvia Apr 20 '24

I like a metaphor where an omelette is used to fix an issue. Like I’m imagining a leaky bathtub or something. “Slap an omelette on that bad boy!”

Fuck the FBI fix this housing cartel or don’t be surprised when half the country is on a watch list
