There's already a class war.

The poor just aren't fighting back.

They're acknowledging it, they're afraid

Not exactly the right picture^[The "bugs" are us or the Palestinians in that movie,
after a Dutch director decided to read up on an Usonian author
and decided that they haven't gotten the memo on what fascism looks like.], but it will do.

We're already in a class war.

They're winning.

The ruling class has way better grasp of Marxism than the vast majority of the western left. https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/

American Christians don't realize that the bible is a story of class war.

Never forget that in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state.

El-p has the best verse on that song, and killer Mike is a capitalist. I also quote that line a lot and can suffer the cognitive dissonance of listening to killer Mike. Just know that it's kayfabe for him.

Oh good.

At first I thought they said Luigi was sick with a fever.

Carry on with the good news..

The “cop cities” that popped up around the country show that they’ve known for a while and have been preparing for it.

"...warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on rich people and corporate bigwigs"

As they should and there's not even a group left to fake blame.
Usonian immigrants are in jail.
The Usonian poor and un(der)employed is what most Usonians have become.

Class war has already started.

Quill7513@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 59d

it's been going for 16k years

Fishnoodle@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 60d

No, their belief system is a death sentence

SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 60d

Their inhuman behaviour is what is sparking it.

There is no war when there is no resistance.

I'm not from US and maybe I'm dumb but isn't the whole idea and major responsibility of country to protect the poor that are legs and support middle class that are lungs of your country ?

You can place bets on the death of democracy on polymarket but can't place bets on the death of CEOs. Kind of makes you think 🤔

This is questionable. Sounds like something the FBI might say it's so explicit.

I agree except we can reeducate the young children. I like how you go from that right back to tax the rich first 😂😅 they’ll get what’s coming. No kids tho

ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 59d (1 reply)

Agreed. Those people do not care about theit kids anyways.

deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 59d

Ya those kids need to be saved and protected not killed. That guy is way wrong for that. The rest of the message wasn’t that bad tho

Fishnoodle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 59d (2 replies)

No you have to eliminate their legacy. They can keep their lives and loved ones, OR their money but not both.

deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 59d

Nah kids can be reeducated. This ain’t tsarist Russia buddy Have some sanctity. Adults are fair but saying kids does make u seem like a fed

RiverRock@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 58d

I agree that you need to destroy their legacy but disagree that that's what it takes to do it. The revolutionaries in China took the last emperor and made him a gardener. I understand that things happen in these situations and sometimes the quick solution is chosen, but overall I think it's better to eliminate their power by scattering their wealth and converting their children.

It is not him that willed any of this.

It is the wealth inequity, violence towards those incapable of representing themselves, and things such as the rise of private concentration camps that will spark violence by the rich oppressors. The body guards will call them "defensive strikes" against "known persons of questionable existence".
