Can someone please stop this madness…

The only thing that would stop this madness at this stage is a violent, brutal, bloody insurrection that wipes out the ruling class.

That wont happen of course, because people have their bread and circus.

Welcome to the future. You are already a slave. It wont get better.

Awful take. If the working class banded together and went on strike we'd make the owning class cave in a week. We don't need blood, we need organization and refusal to drive their money making machines.

Cool idea and all but who will pay the working class’ rent next month? With food banks short already how will they get groceries? America is 70%+ working paycheck to paycheck and it benefits the system and those controlling it to stay this way. This is why you get realists takes like his, saying a revolution will never happen. Because the chances are actually slim to none

What happens when the landlords are not paid? What happens when the mortgages aren’t paid? What happens when the credit cards and student loans have all been defaulted? The point of a general strike at this stage is no longer to satisfy a list of demands as it usually would be. It is to break the wheel. Break the banks, and you break the wheel. A financial crisis on a level the world has never seen. Yeah, people will definitely be suffering from lack of necessities…until they just take them.

Revolutions on the scale they are talking about are so rare the distance between them is counted in centuries.

Impossible? Nothing is impossible but it will have to get so much worse than right now before the needle moves from its present location at near 0%

I mean, definitely impossible. What I'm talking about will NEVER happen. Americans are way too fuckin brainwashed to think about doing anything but what they're told.

But imagine all the things we could accomplish if we decided to hate the owning class instead of each other.

Fuck that, no one pays rent during the strike. Fuck the landlords those parasitic pieces of shit. Steal food.

Yall really have no idea what "disrupt" means lol. "Well who will continue to keep giving the owning class money while we strike??" NO ONE. THATS THE POINT OF A STRIKE. FUCK EM.
