    Class warfare in all its glory, going from the cold war phase to a more active phase.

    Sure, there were warnings. Remember Occupy Wall Street? Peaceful protest forcibly removed? Well, they’re back and less peaceful.

      Yes, but this seems to be the working class vs the bourgeoisie. The way it was meant to be.

    What is the opposite of “don’t dead open inside”? This works both ways.

        Consumerism and politcal tribalism for unrealistic platforms?

          Can you explain to me in a non condescending way what this comment means? Like genuinely I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say here. A person on the internet posts a link to a website to buy a silly sticker and that is somehow political tribalism? Consumerism is somewhat arguably understandable, considering you have to be a consumer to make a purchase. Although you could always just steal the design and print your own. What makes the post political tribalism though? Is there some sort of echo chamber in the fact that 99.99% of the American population would rather see exploitative CEOs die rather than their own children? Is that an unrealistic platform? What details am I missing here?

        I mean, congress negotiated insulin priced down by over 90% average, so you’re wrong actually.

        The systems still fucked, but it’s a bit early to start erasing all the good things from the DNC majority and Biden Admin.

            I expect enough turmoil within the republican party to make 2026 a viable turnover. Right now they can’t even agree on who their speaker should be and are heading straight into government shutdown.

            If not, it’ll at least be difficult to pass everything they want with only a 53 seat majority in the senate.

              Don’t forget that these people exist because of the propaganda that they take in. They buy into it. They’re not yet aware that it’s a class war, not a culture war.

        Lol where have you been? People doing monumentally stupid, dangerous and violent things for insultingly small sums of money for rich assholes is kind of our thing. If you offer silver for violence there will always be takers.

          Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who’s done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn’t have that ideology. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It’s an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn’t buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.

      I’ve stated previously that my next career move would be into security because there isn’t a single American who wouldn’t step out of the way at the first available opportunity and they fucking know it, so foreign security is the only real option … and I don’t need to tell them it isn’t any better just because they didn’t personally screw us.

      I too am happy that the vast majority of people at the event were just pedestrians walking by without acknowledging them. Can you imagine if these types of people were mainstream?

        Decent people are getting pushed too far- they are going more mainstream with each insult, financial hit, and knowledge of the two-tiered justice system.

        I’ve been saying it for years, if the Rich are not held accountable, the only option is vigilante justice. Unfortunately, it will have a lot of by-catch. But it’s not the general population‘s fault that it will come to this. It is people with money and power.
