It’s rich people. AI is the current excuse. I hate this notion that if we got rid of AI we solve the issue. No, the rich people are still there and they’ll find a new thing to suck everyone’s lives with.
Tried and true across history. The rich divide and decimate community to ensure collective action is harder. A general strike could fix things without violence, but that is unlikely in this climate. Change can come from far fewer people with violence, but it’s a bigger gamble.
Look at January 6th as an example. The government feared Trump’s power over his followers too much to prosecute him properly. The GOP all fell in line with him due in large part to fear. Had January 6th not happened, I highly doubt he would have gotten a second crack at the presidency.
I still can’t believe the nation looked at Trump and went “yeah lets let the mob boss have a turn” and then decided “you know what, let him have another go” a second time.
Fall of rome wasn’t this fuckin’ quick or hilarious. I’d link the FriendlyJordies video comparing the recent nonsense with Idiocracy and its almost shot for shot at this point, but he’s taken it down as a result of going through the US border for a tour… What a wild time to be alive…

You are assuming Mericans have access to non-propaganda information and can decide whats ‘best’. It doesn’t work like that in an Oligarchy that controls the narrative.
You are assuming that ‘Biden’ followed another policy, but they - both ‘sides’ are paid by the same Epstein shtters to expand the US financial Empire. The only real change is that your Epstein elite are desperately out of time and have dropped the mask. Trump was an unexpected extra card they could hedge on. What you see now is the real US leaders stealing wealth while thrashing the world and letting Merica crash. When everyone hates Trump, they have succeeded in setting up a fall-guy, an obvious ‘king’ with associated media/entertainment to paint a clear picture of the ‘madman’ dictator that destroyed peoples lives. Later comes the ‘switcheroo’, so instead of victims taking this out on the rich swnes that created this, they will all think that a ‘king’ dictator was the culprit.
The Merican Epstein Empire was forged by violence and are now dying in a frantic cramp. We now get a unique glimpse into how these Epstein psychos think, how their world works, and what they have envisioned for our future.
The system of capitalism is quiet violence every day, a pervasive exploitation of the working class and marginalized social groups. To fight back against it requires violence because this system was created and is enforced by violence. I’ll never hand-wring about somebody suggesting this obvious route of struggle against the systems of oppression, this form of self defense, when we watch social murder and direct violence committed by the capitalist state happen every day; nor should you.
I wholeheartedly agree. It’s why I put “Thanks capitalism” because the capitalist system inevitably creates ever richer people at the expense of society.

I keep coming back around to it in therapy, but what are we supposed to do?
Nobody is coming to save us.
All I can conclude is all we have is the use of violence to stop their violence against us.

I know buddy, I know.
I’m very aware that the imperial boomerang has come home.
If no one is coming to save us, no one ks coming to stop us either
There is an entire profession dedicated to stopping violence against capital
I don’t know if you realize how incredibly violent that sentence was ?
…so, I’ll just repeat it here once more to make sure everyone gets it ! Good insight, thanks man…
What happened to Alex Pretti was pretty violent.
Nobody is coming to save you.
