    I have other comments in this chain they acknowledge that. It’s a very serious problem no doubt

      It’s almost as if the ruling class built systems of opression and now people ask to politely use those to fight back?

      The fuck are we talking about? Protest only if it doesn’t inconvenience the rich? Vote, because that’s exactly how we got here in the first place? Tax the owners instead of dropping the hammer for every life the corporation ruined?

      Yeah, don’t be too barbaric, violence will definitely go wrong.

        If you toy with violence, they’ll show you how to commercialize it. I’m not enjoying or condoning that reality.

          Hasn’t that already happened? I feel like you are trying to paint a picture we’ve had since forever.

              It will be, one way or the other.

              Status quo will be broken soon, and we will see who will keep standing.

                I think it’ll be the ones with the military industrial complex, the financial institutions, and the globalized food networks.

                Thus I want to change the system non violently.

                    I’m personally interested in filling downticket seats with more progressive candidates. Conservatives are gobbling these positions up which bolster higher office mandate. Anyone left of center needs to find common ground and start shifting the window left. Lower seats are critical to turning the gears of bureaucracy, and establishing that base makes things like transparent and accountability more attainable.
