I think the rich need a reminder...

Why do you think the cops have tanks now

“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin

They're not the only ones who forgot. It's crazy how many people I know who shun the idea of any form of action beyond general protest in the face of corruption. I always ask them how they think change is going to happen when we have protest after protest and nothing to show for them, but they never have an answer. Things are going to get a lot worse before people realize we need to fight for our rights, and being angry on the internet - or even in person with a sign - is no longer enough to make a change.

They got wise to that and called in the police and military to help them.

I feel like it’s the working class who forgot.

The rich are well aware, which is why they put so much energy into making us think that isn’t an option.

I love this sentiment but I hope we can keep lemmy a nice place.

Like I'm sure we all agree that a good billionaire lynching would be awesome, but I also don't want to crow on about it day after day. Escalate or bust.

They need a reminder every century or so apparently. Who's next to show off the guillotine?

Look up why the christmas bonus became a thing.

What gets me is:

If people have more money to spend, they buy more things.

The more things they buy, the more money goes into the pockets of corporations and the CEOs.

It's literally a win win situation that doesn't end in the Uber Rich being chased down by hungry angry mobs.

I wish we could back to that other option. It seems quite reasonable.

"Redress." It's "redress of grievances," not "address." They can have similar meanings, but they aren't quite synonyms.

The Waltons are a family. Just saying.

I keep blocking work reform pages but more keep popping up from different instances. Is there a way to globally block any instance that contains a specific word or phrase?

It's eerie how little opposition this kind of murder/violence fantasies get here

I think the poor need a reminder about arenas...

I love how the tankies are going to get all these instances shut down.
