How? I don't see them stopping until the supply lines collapse.

You don't see Brian Thompson making any more money for United Health, do you?

No, but plenty of other people do, and the person that shot him clearly hasn't been doing much else to "help".

So, either put your money where your mouth is, or stop spouting the same demagoguery bullshit and find an actually useful thing to suggest.

You think the removal of one system of government to institute another (even if that system is as little of a system as possible), along with a radical redistribution of wealth, happens without violence?

I may have a bridge to sell you.

You think it happens with violence? Look what the french revolution led to. 100 more years of imperial rule and the most deadly war in European history. Look at what the Russian revolution led to, the USSR. The Chinese revolution.

Now look at how anarchist societies/groups emerged in history. Cooperation and mutual aid. The violence was for the most part defensive.

The only people who think violence is the answer, are the ones with superficial understanding of history who are suffering from Duning Kruger effect. Violent revolutions always lead to authoritarian's grabbing power and kick starting oppressive regimes.

Today is the parent of tomorrow. The present casts it's shadow far into the future. (...) Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society. The means used to prepare the future become it's cornerstone. - Emma Goldberg

Do I have to? I feel like eating the muskrat is likely to cause a ketamine overdose.

Just make sure to boil him first, I'm pretty sure that should break down the chemicals, right? 🤔

Or just feed him to the pigs, either way 🤷

I would not wish that on pigs
