There's already a class war.

The poor just aren't fighting back.

They're acknowledging it, they're afraid

Not exactly the right picture^[The "bugs" are us or the Palestinians in that movie,
after a Dutch director decided to read up on an Usonian author
and decided that they haven't gotten the memo on what fascism looks like.], but it will do.

We're already in a class war.

They're winning.

The ruling class has way better grasp of Marxism than the vast majority of the western left. https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/

American Christians don't realize that the bible is a story of class war.

Never forget that in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state.

El-p has the best verse on that song, and killer Mike is a capitalist. I also quote that line a lot and can suffer the cognitive dissonance of listening to killer Mike. Just know that it's kayfabe for him.

Oh good.

At first I thought they said Luigi was sick with a fever.

Carry on with the good news..

The “cop cities” that popped up around the country show that they’ve known for a while and have been preparing for it.

"...warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on rich people and corporate bigwigs"

As they should and there's not even a group left to fake blame.
Usonian immigrants are in jail.
The Usonian poor and un(der)employed is what most Usonians have become.

Class war has already started.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

it's been going for 16k years

There is no war when there is no resistance.

Their inhuman behaviour is what is sparking it.

You can place bets on the death of democracy on polymarket but can't place bets on the death of CEOs. Kind of makes you think 🤔

I'm not from US and maybe I'm dumb but isn't the whole idea and major responsibility of country to protect the poor that are legs and support middle class that are lungs of your country ?

It is not him that willed any of this.

It is the wealth inequity, violence towards those incapable of representing themselves, and things such as the rise of private concentration camps that will spark violence by the rich oppressors. The body guards will call them "defensive strikes" against "known persons of questionable existence".
