Everything about CEOs is like a monarchy. Wealth inheritance in business families like the Waltons? Just the capitalism version of royal heirs getting their throne. Presidents? They don’t run jackshit ever since money got into politics

America is back in the era of kings, and arguably a worse one

    “Don’t like?” “Have a grudge against?”

    You’re describing the feeling that I might have against someone who double parked their car or a coworker that ate my sandwich

    That’s not what a billionaire is. A billionaire is a fatal threat to the world who holds enough power to starve entire countries, our own country included. It’s not about grudges, it’s about lives

    We aren’t talking about overblown and violent reactions. We are talking about resistance against something that already is overblown and violent

      Killing someone should, if at all, always be the last thing not the first.

      The correct way to solve this is by stripping them from their power/money not by killing them.

        And who’s gonna strip them of their power? Oh yeah maybe the government can

        But oh no, the billionaires can also strip the government of their power too

        They are too closely allied for any change to happen. It’s all just talk, it’s all just theatre

        Change can only happen once the people regain their power, and what worked? Peaceful protests? Picket signs? Yeah sure worked well against ICE and company

        Why keep holding up an umbrella against knives falling from the sky when you can go fight the cunt that keeps throwing them off the roof of that building?

        I’m sorry, but I think that when children get hurt, it just naturally awakens a special kind of rage that I think is justified against whoever’s harming them. You’re focusing on the wrong thing
