I have said this so many times before, but revolution is coming, it can either happen peacefully and gently, by the government conceding to meet the people's needs, or it can happen violently, but it will happen, people will not just quietly die en-mass to feed your ego.
Everyone making the choices, the 1%ers, right wing politicians, they think they can deny people reasonable access to food, to shelter, to healthcare and education, to a minimal quality of life, to security, they think they can stand in the way of progress, for profit, they think they can take away their rights over their own bodies, then convince them, the masses, the solution is individualism, to take things into their own hands, to arm themselves and wait 'for their revolution'... They literally encourage that "revolution or nothing" way of thinking as a way of keeping the population angry, and in their minds malleable and under control...
And they really think, they really think they can just ride that forever without hitting the point that it will erupt into a bloodbath... Not in some eventuality, but now, while people are dying and desperate. They think they can brazenly parade around in front of those same people protected by their class and wealth from the consequences of the system they are building, and somehow not inspire violence.
I keep trying to warn you where this will lead.
It isn't about what I want or what I think should happen, I'm not endorsing anything, let's be clear, it's about what will happen, really, it's about human nature.
This isn't about what's moral, or what's reasonable, or what you think you can stoke a divisive culture war against, it isn't about my opinion, I did not invent the nature of need, it's about what people have always done when faced with no good options, guns in their hands and staring up at the people sentencing them to suffering and death.
You give people their rights, you give them food and shelter, you give them dignity, education and a choice, or what you will get out of them is the violence of a people who's needs are being systematically denied them. Thinking you can convince people out of that is like thinking you can argue with gravity. [is that why your rockets crash?]
If you deny someone all their needs, arm them, and then tell them to either do something about it or go die in silence, what do you think will happen next? What do you genuinely expect?
There is a threshold of suffering past which no distraction will be enough.
You deny someone autonomy, you deny them safety, food, shelter, financial security, you deny them a future, you make the world hostile to them, you prove their electoral system doesn't work -or isn't working- and that partaking in the system doesn't get fair results, then you peacock around in front of them asking them "what are you going to do about it?"
They are starting to answer you.
