This is because the media is controlled by billionaires ~ full stop ~ nothing will change UNTIL that does ~ second full stop
Wait a minute…you mean to tell me there’s a class problem involved here?
While I appreciate the article’s point, and agree with its thesis that the Republicans are increasingly a fascist cult of personality around a rapist and serial financial criminal, I hate that it acts like this is so surprising. This political point is the direct result of decades of cutting social safety nets, deregulating industry, and letting a small cadre of people become wealthy beyond comprehension by controlling what people do, what people watch, and what people read every day of their lives. It’s not hard to grasp: a socially-conservative kleptocracy facing the loss of its international hegemony is faced with two options: 1) reform in ways that better the lives of its people at the expense of a fraction of the leading class’ wealth; or 2) double down and descend into fascism.
Until we get people to really act beyond posting online and relatively small, fully peaceful and sanctioned protests, we will never stop this descent. And the worst part is that this is all so god damned predictable.
Kill billionaires, Gotcha.
Kill billionaires. Behead billionaires. Roundhouse kick a billionaire into the concrete. Slam dunk a billionaire's baby into the trashcan. Crucify the filthy rich. Defecate in a billionaire's food. Launch billionaires into the sun. Stir fry billionaires in a wok. Toss billionaires into active volcanoes. Urinate into a billionaire's gas tank. Judo throw billionaires into a wood chipper. Twist billionaires' heads off. Report billionaires to the IRS. Karate chop billionaires in half. Curb stomp pregnant rich billionaires. Trap billionaires in quicksand. Crush billionaires in the trash compactor. Liquefy billionaires in a vat of acid. Eat billionaires. Dissect billionaires. Exterminate billionaires in the gas chamber. Stomp billionaire skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate billionaires in the oven. Lobotomize billionaires. Mandatory abortions for billionaires. Grind billionaire fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown billionaires in truffle oil. Vaporize billionaires with a ray gun. Kick old billionaires down the stairs. Feed billionaires to alligators. Slice billionaires with a katana.
I like your style.
Not sure if this is meant to normalize or to reflect violent handling of the billionaire-problem.
Sure you are good at posting nevertheless.
