It's class war. It's been class war all along.
That's why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he's in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They felt fear because of Luigi. Nothing changed. They simply must be removed.
Luigi worried them, he didn't cause them fear. It's also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they'll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi's would permanently solve the problem.
Take the plunge. Organize locally.
Nothing changed
Except the things that did.

You know when we say change we mean more fundamental than the capitalist class enacting stricter security. We mean course correcting change. We're still on our way to the splitting of the US and feudal "Network States".
Go be the next one, then. I’ll post a meme for you 🫡
We need a sustained effort, not just a one off and a few whistle blowers.
They felt fear for only one minute.
It's basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.
It's always been a class war ..... when you think about it, it's never stopped.
Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all's kinda of stuff to help people?
It's almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn't care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like...who ever even saw that coming?
Like...who ever even saw that coming?
Literally nobody*
*except any person having more than one braincell.
The party who's caused a recession every presidential term they've held power in my lifetime... Might cause a recession this time too!?!?
Try to kick the football again Charlie Brown 🤷♂️
Might? That's literally why the oligarchs put him in power. So they could buy everything cheap.
Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.
I don't know why my fellow Americans can't see the correlation
Cause they're dumb as fuck.
"Revealed"
Fuck you. Fuck anyone surprised by any of this. They wrote it down. They lied to your face and laughed when they were called out. If you are feigning surprise you're either willfully ignorant or outright mental.
I was listening to a podcast (Professional Left) and they played a clip of some caller who was saying the country voted for donvict because they wanted him to ignore the Constitution in order to deal with the emergency (I think she was talking about the border) and then "hopefully" he'd restore it afterwards.
JFC, these people are so very fucking stupid. I know, I know, Yahweh forbid we blame the fucking stupid voters that voted for this shit. Obviously this is all Biden and Kamala's fault.
The number of people still mad at Biden...
I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that's besides the point.
The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people's loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that's apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.
I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.
Not even a month in, champs. Not even a month.
Don't be so pessimistic! Don't think it's been only a month, think there's only 47 more months to go!
You don’t really believe there will be elections again, do you?
Of course not! I was referring to the months remaining of theater. People need time to adjust, so they won't be announcing the switch to monarchy until the last moment.
It really is amazing how January is 8 years long. I would have thought it was shorter, but it's still going...
That's because "woke" just means "everything I hate." And if there's one thing Trump hates, it's everything but himself.
It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”
If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.
Crash the economy and buy it up on the cheap while the masses are struggling.
Wait, what?!
Are you telling me that the party of the face eating leopards want to eat MY FACE?!?!?I But... how could this happen?
Gotta remember he is a Russian asset and as such he is doing what his daddy Vlad wants
"""Despite claiming to stand for "hardworking American families" — who are typically considered to be a different category of human beings than woke Marxist transgender green-dealers, at least within the Fox Cinematic Universe""" 😂
OK I am going to use that with a slight alteration, " Fox News Cinematic Universe" only because fox owns aliens and predator, last I checked.
The whole problem is Supply Side Jesus is taking his sweet ass time coming back. Therefore, the nut bags at the Heritage Foundation have to crash the world via disease, war, famine, and death.
I’ll bet $100 his browser history is full of trans porn. These psychopaths are (nearly) always masking a desire they’re ashamed of.
The trade wars during the late 1920's lead to the Great Depression. The asswipe Orange Nero is making an effort to weaken the USA.
The good news is that Rome lasted for a good while longer than Nero did.
ah yes America's long time friend Rome, we go wayyy back.
Found the clip where some donvict supporter calls into C-Span, advocating to just ignore the Constitution under Donvict, because, well, that's what "the people" voted for.
Just crazy stuff. Why this hasn't gone viral, I don't know.
