    Because most of us dislike violence, even when it’s necessary and justified.

    Meanwhile, the rich have no problem using violence against us to protect their hoarded wealth or if they can profit from it in the slightest.

      The whole “eat the rich” thing is pretty offensive to survivors of the Cultural Revolution, where there are several actual examples of political torture-cannibalism documented by the CCP. Though, in this case, the “rich” were just teachers and lawyers and other people deemed uppity.

        Who’s talking about the CCP? Looks like you’re going out of your way to be offended.

        Or maybe the capitalist brainwashing got you bad.

      It sounds like we need to crowdfund the creation of a Private Military Company. We’ll need a good name for it.

    I wouldn’t want to eat beef from a cow treated with steroids or one with mad cow disease or an old cow minutes from death, so why would I want to eat Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or Warren Buffett?

    Because when that happens, we just find a new rich class, slightly below the ones we just ate. So they go too… now there is a newest rich class, just below the previous.

    And so on, until you’re the new rich class.

    Because the most well-armed portion of the populace has convinced themselves that the lifestyle of the rich is within their reach and identifies more with them than with their actual peers.

    I know we’re having a laugh, but the time when this sort of action is even plausible is quickly running out.

    Why don’t women stop buying clothes until they get decent fitting shit with pockets?

    Why haven’t women just… gotten rid of men entirely? as they say, women need men like fish need a bicycle

      Why don’t you stop hating men for no reason whatsoever? Cut the dumb “let’s get rid of men we don’t need them” shit

        What if I had tons of great reasons to hate men, then it’d be ok? Jesus sparky, think shit through.

        Cut the dumb “let’s get rid of men we don’t need them” shit

        So by your logic if I had intelligent “let’s get rid of men we don’t need them” shit that’d be ok in your book?

        You seem awfully scared this one post on lemmy might wake up your woman, think she’d see the upsides? Goddamn son, you’re dumber than a bag of hammers.

          You hate half the population of the planet. The human race does not survive without men.

          Your hatred serves no one and only poisons you.

            lol so afraid! I probably do hate half the population but it’s not based on gender, it’s strictly devoted to assholes like you sparky.

            goddamn what a precious little baby, gonna block you now so I don’t have to read further stupid shit.

    Unironically, equating anything left wing with Marxist socialism even though there could be other forms.

    left wing ideas tend to be heavily coupled with progressive social issues that most of the population only agrees with to an extent.

    I think we’re going to see a non socialist populist uprising though with multiple different groups. The elites will no doubt try to claim anyone remotely on the right of it is a raging white supremacist as they’re already doing with populist uprisings.

    Because they’re too busy hating each other over whose great grandparents oppressed who or who the other voted for.

    Because you, dear reader, probably can’t even pull together the motivation to make a sandwich most of the time, let alone take up arms and put yourself in harm’s way.
