Political Memes

If we hung up musk by his plastic surgery disaster-penis, took what his assets were worth (he's worth nothing as a human), we could have more than a million millionaires, though..

I don’t think that’s the case, and lumping “western democracies” all into one pile is a mistake. There’s huge variety in how they’re run, from bad to good. Nobody thinks they’re gong to be a billionaire…Unless a big chunk of the population literally has severe mental illness consisting of delusions of grandeur, anyway.

What we do have is a population held by the balls. All of our security is tied to our jobs, and we’re constantly, constantly reminded that our “self reliance” is tied to our worth at the workplace, the social safety net is worthless and those on it constantly mocked and harassed. Lose your job and you lose everything.

Go to a protest and get arrested, miss work? Maybe you get fired. Go to a protest and get maimed or even killed, nothing at all happens to the LEO that does it. Maybe you’re fired or dead. Your family is now missing someone while the press drags your name through the mud. None of the protests have effected change, we’re still headed towards fascism.

So until a protest gets big and bad enough, nothing will happen because we still have everything to risk and nothing to gain. A big bad protest likely means people will die, that’s likely the only way to depose this regime.

have to you seen zuckeberg train? he's ultra fit and has years of martial arts training; i don't know about you, but i wouldn't stand a chance. lol

billions of us vs billionaires plus billions of apathetic people

Realistically, I think they're too dangerous to allow them to just stick around, and most of them have done terrible shit to earn their vast fortunes. Personally, I'm thinking Nuremberg style trials to decide between executions and re-education camps.

Yes, that is absolutely true, but the wealthy have shown to be very adept at controlling what the public perceives as “reality.” They control the narrative for the majority of the public through ownership and control of the mainstream media. I don’t think it is possible to get enough people to unify against them and overthrow them in the modern age of bullshit. I hope I am wrong, but damn… I’m not seeing it.
