    They don’t, but they will. We’ll keep talking until something happens and the longer it takes the worse it’s gonna get. All the years that people have been “complaining” I have never seen so many mentions of guillotines as I have this year. Either the politicians start working for the people or rich folk stop ruining everything. Otherwise we are all going to have a big problem on our hands.

      It’s not really a big problem, there’s a very small minority of rich people. We can sort out the problem in less than a week.

          Because their private security force (the police) protect them. The pressure on the police over the past few years hasn’t caused a shortage in cops, but that’s because signing bonuses and pay have gone up. Which would be great, except they’re paid for by our taxes, and the rich and powerful keep raising the police budgets despite loud calls from the masses to reduce them. And you can tell that this would be helpful to us because the corporate-owned media outlets quickly and strongly shit all over the “defund the police” movement as being something that would ruin the country.

      I’ve heard general strike talk in real life a few times this year. That’s never happened in my experience as an adult
