Now we know why all these oligarchs are building fortresses

I don't know man, I see the writing on the walls. It's not sustainable people can't afford to buy a home, purchasing power is decreasing, jobs are going away...but it's a group of dumb asses who think gays, immigrants, etc. are the problem while some CEO is worth millions to billions thinking about how they can squeeze them for more profits. It's not sustainable

A. Come together how, to invade a country on false pretenses and waste trillions of dollars? One that not everyone was on board with, massive protests and public sentiment turned over the years after the invasion? What progress has been made?

B. Come together how? To march chanting slogans, take pictures and then go back home? I went to one and very few that i met were even politically active, which is where change is made.

You had the rich looking down at people marching for "progress" while drinking champagne smiling and laughing. I bet you those people are even richer than they were and the people below are even poorer, so what was the point? What progress has been made?

C. Come together how? BLM is a slur at this point for at least half the country and those same people do not give a shyt about Floyd. A lot of the BLM/DEI initiatives companies were creating have already been rescinded or being done now given Trump is back in office. What progress was made?

My point was people coming together saying they disapprove of something. If you attended one of the protests, I'm not sure why would you say people don't do anything. Unless you are a keyboard militant who believes people should vote on one issue and use a gun for another.

Tell me, what concrete and substantial piece of legislation or policy that has improved the economic situation of the 99 percent come from all of the marches?

in a country where mass murderers exist, don't under estimate what people are willing to do if they can't get the most basic shyt lol. Humans are violent, comfort is what keeps many from acting out.

This is actually true. Folks forget that we are indeed animals.

There are really no Luigi's out there except for the one in jail now and if they get scared, they will get security. Guess how they will pay for security? By passing on the cost to you. All UHC has to do to get more security for their C-suite is crank that insurance denial percentage up by 1 or 2 and they are good.

So how do you feel about school shootings?

That they are horrible, what kind of question is that? What are you trying to convey with that question?

People are not going to "rise up" or do anything. All they have to do is increase the squeeze of the economy and rights slowly and most people will not care.

As long as they have the internet to entertain then short of a collapse of the economy will people even think of marching.

These nikkas don't learn anything from history. They forget about everything FAST. Like they didn't just see how everybody bowed down to a vaccine that had no longer term trials. Ain't nobody rising up to shyt...

You said, "There are really no Luigi's out there"

I beg to differ.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold inspired a lot of school shooters, much like Gavrilo Princip inspired lots of assassins and terrorists.

Are you really suggesting that people that go into schools and slaughter children are on the same "level" as a man that killed a CEO of a reprehensible corporation?

Edit: i get what you are saying but still it is not a good short or long term hope.

I think their saying, regardless off the righteousness of their actions, it only takes one person to inspire people

If the only way you think change can happen in a democratic society is that people start copycat killing CEO's then that is wrong.
