    Looks like it’s time to eat the rich.

    They have too much power and resources now. We aren’t going to get a better quality of life through peaceful means.

      There’s a relatively nonviolent solution America can do, but it would be complex to organize. Stop. Anyone that can stop working for even a day, or a week. Just pick a starting point and stop working, buying, consuming. They can’t fire everyone.

        I agree. Only 5% at most would follow through, and most of that 5% are non-vital employees, you don’t even have a union culture to organise this, and the best the democrats have done is stay silent.

        Again, I agree, this would work if we organise it.

        I’d love to see it but I think they could outlast us and would love at the chance to buy up failing small businesses and property during that time.

          But the whole point of that time is to actually change stuff, so they wouldn’t make nearly as much profit, and maybe not even get to keep it.

          It would be like buying a car that’s cheap because it’s on fire. They need us but we don’t need them.
