    Why does everyone go straight to guns and riots? Make a fucken People’s PAC. Play the corpos and elites at their own game. Then if that doesnt work we can get the pitchforks.

      They don’t go straight there, you’re missing decades of innafective protest and peaceful organization. Peaceful protest in the US is only allowed because it’s ineffective.

      “Riots are the voice of the unheard” - MLK

      "Those who make peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution inevitable " - JFK

      Corpos can only be defeated with violence or having enough money to bankrupt them. There’s no “fixing the system from the inside” when the only way into that system is to be born rich.

        Agreed except that’s definitely not the only way into the system.

        It’s just the only way to have implicit trust from most while on the inside. That’s because (deep breath) who in their right mind would forfeit their birthright to save their lessers?

        Of course I’d like to think I would but will never know. In history, however, we can see that there are always a few individuals who do precisely that.

        Also one way to fix it from the inside goes kaboom.

        I agree with you but it also seems like we haven’t tried since Occupy Wallstreet.

          Blm had a clear message.

          And the media demonized them

          The civil rights movement never died, idiots just keep letting it be suppressed and then deepthroat corporate media when the oppressed people react logically to being ignored

            Yep, I kinds fear it will be like this forever, because so far it has been. As far back as history can see.
