nah, i am just talking about people who are ambivalent and will happily ignore everything until poo poo breaks. you know, donald trump voters.

people who rah rah rah for bernie sanders are equally guilty of not giving a poo poo about starving people they'll never meet, and just like donald trump voters they drink from a bottomless well of self-righteousness.

uh, bernie is like explicitly about helping the lower classes and fixing wealth inequality as one of his primary goals. I dunno where people get the impression that white people claiming to think income inequality is the most important issue are all secretly mras who just want a platform to decry feminism or whatever but plenty of us are people who grew up poor enough to know that you're better off rich than poor among any race, gender, or creed and legitimately feel like modern identity politics that are almost always pushed by wealthy children of wealthy parents are a modern day wedge strategy.

dual power is the only answer

you have to build the infrastructure within the society you live in

worker coops and credit unions, housing coops and land trusts and machiatto coffee shops and poo poo so you dont need a revolution

what happens instead is when the old society collapses into a depression you already have these sustainable eco systems and people will go "hmm these weird hippies arent starving have access to goods and durable commodities, money, jobs, electricity and i dont. why?'" and you go

come on in comrade, let me tell you about the International Workers of the World.

Lol just lol if you actually think theres going to be a revolution or violence or that the "injustices" in this country are going to have serious consequences any time soon. If they were you wouldn't be posting here about it.

We have inconvenience in this country, not injustice. The worst unfairnesses we have are trivial compared to what the vast majority of the world puts up with not to mention whats happened historically. Social justice is an internet hobby for people that want to "care" without effort and use terms like racist or misogynist or income unequality to fill in for the reasoning they dont know how to engage in. Either that or for ignoramuses with masters degrees in fake subjects to pretend YouTube is legitimate academic publishing because they are too dumb to major in something useful

That's what we're talking about itt -- when the "inconvenience" as you call it of a huge loving wealth gap will start being seen as actual injustice, causing people to riot

The Court is immaculate

But the fields are full of weeds.

The barns are empty

But the rulers are finely dressed,

Swords by their sides,

Gorged with food and drink,

Owning too much wealth.

This is called glorious theft.

This is far away from the Way.

The answer is never, but only because people think they are "doing something" and "making change" if they stand out in a street with a sign until their nuts freeze while rich people laugh at them. They also think if they chant stuff marching down the street it'll change the world, haha. It worked once in the 60s and people have been trying ever since.

Countries that deny the right to protest haven't figured out the "allow it and ignore it" approach blows off all the steam for absolutely no result.
