    the 1% are shitting their collective pampers over the peasant class slowly but surely beginning to realize just how exploited we are, and how fucked they would be if it actually got to the point where we all organized

    edit: they wouldn’t actually be “fucked,” they’d just be slightly less of a billionaire, which is still unacceptable to them. so fuck’em

      Not really. They’re still sowing division among the peasantry, and it’s still working. People want someone to blame for their troubles, and the 1% is all to happy to give you a target based on your demographics.

          Yes, but speaking as a white male, alomst everyone in the 1%, at least in the USA, looks like me. Obviously I know they’re the enemy, but there’s a lot of us and it’s very easy for the 1% to convince us that marginalized groups are the problem (Blacks, trans people, immigrants;etc).

      They’re really not, though. No one is doing shit about it, so they’re fine.

      Still a long way to go before the French Revolution, and then it’d be way way harder to pull that one off.

        There are times where I wonder if these public mass shootings are sometimes a guy at the end of his rope, with no support system, and no reason to live. So he goes out buys a machine gun with enough firepower that could shoot down a building.

        Then just goes ham. In his own mind he’s “getting back at the man!”

        My only doubt though, is these shootings never happen where it would affect the man. Its always at like a theater, or a grocery store.

        You never hear of suicide bombers blowing up microsoft hq, or the IRS building.

        So I’m not saying I’m right. Theres even some evidence to be argued that I’m wrong.

        Still though. Sometimes I wonder.
