    It’s also easy to say that when you’re the living embodiment of the luxury and excess of the establishment/status quo.

    Like… dude…of course you don’t want to see revolution… every single fucking element of the system tilts not only in your favor but also in favor of perpetuating and furthering your absolute stranglehold on wealth, power, security, etc.

    The more interesting answer would be to the question: if, as a society, we became so united in our acceptance of this that it literally became commonplace for CEOs to get whacked and then for juries to nullify the charges and for the killer to walk free…and it was happening dozens of times every year, or month

    …would you support a revolution to change the status quo that was literally killing people like you with zero repercussions?

    If not, you’re an absolute idiot, or you’re actually on our side in this.

    If yes, then you know damn well what’s going on and, shocker, you’re playing dumb for a cheap attempt at sympathy.
