I don't. What's the context?

During the Occupy Wall Street protest some executives were seen, those pictured among others, laughing and mocking the protesters.

But, what would Jesus do?

He'd start flipping fucking tables and whipping these pathetic fucks.

If Jesus were a U.S. citizen, he would certainly organize a general strike that would last until the oligarchs were driven out of the temple once and for all.

He probably tried that long ago, but received no support from the American people and was therefore forcibly shipped to a concentration camp in a foreign country thousands of miles away, where he likely perished .... or even worse .... no one knows where he is .... the U.S. authorities refuse to comment on the matter, yet they continue to commit mass murder in his name....

"Jesus? Sounds hispanic and probably illegal." -- Trump, MAGA, ICE, GOP, etc.

Faces still as punchable as the day they bleated.

The media (and the public) didn't take OWS seriously because they didn't have a solution (even though they had specific legislation in mind, and were protesting the bailouts that ran inconsistent with capitalist theory: Socialism for large corporations but not for the public)

Eventually, the street cameras were turned off and the police brutally dispersed the OWS gathering. (Granted, it was getting unsanitary, but that didn't justify brutality).

Then Trump got elected, who undid what meager financial regulations were made. And then again, at which point Trump and his cronies started openly engaging in material corruption while the whole federal government seeks to secure GOP rule and a one-party state.

Short of some vast miracle (e.g. a 2026 blue wave that can override vetos and filibusters, combined with Democratic candidates-elect giving up their corporate donors and growing a spine and a will to serve the public) the GOP is going to control the Executive and the Senate in 2028 and will have total control, including domination of all the southern states in 2030.

At that point, only force, either general strikes or violence, will push the Republicans out. Which may eventually happen, since the GOP doesn't bother with doing anything in the public interest.
