ngl I'd turn against my fellow man if I, exclusively, was offered a couple mil untaxed income instantly from a billionaire

You could also end up getting brain worms that way.

To flip Curtis Yarvin's script, they'd make better biofuel to actually be useful.

And you would probably get high on ketamine from consuming it as well.

Correct, but there is a lot of nuance.

Indeed, when things get bad, the public is willing to take risks. When everything is good enough, they don't revolt.

However, successful revolts do require intelligent and capable leaders.

What the rich have realized, is that if they ensure smart and skilled kids get picked out of the drudgery and get comfortable working for the rich, then the exploited class will not really have anyone to lead them.

Put another way, in 1908, every factory had a few leaders working at the lowest levels. And they are the ones who spearheaded strikes and such.

Nowadays, society is really stratified in terms of skill.

Anyone who grew up poor, but had talent to organize, probably ended up in some kind of middle management or professional job and makes 2x the average.

Convincing these people to have class solidarity is difficult. Only a few of them actually see the bigger. Those tend to become middle or upper management or politicians, making 3-5x the average workers salary. And of those, only a very select few are willing to fight for the common man.

So yeah, the rich engineered a system that they can control. To actually change anything is going to be very difficult.

I'm not advocating it tbh

They probably taste like shit and cocaine

Remember, even herbivores are opportunistic carnivores on occasion. ☺️

Vegans like you make me interested in veganism. The diet seems to have some beneficial effect on the sense of humor.

TL; DR I laughed my a** off, thank you!

Voting stupidly doesn't turn a working class person into an owner class person. We still outnumber them, it's just that most of us have been tricked.

I'm not sure the majority voted for Trump considering all the election interference and Elon Musk's fuckery.

It’s hard to grow a resistance when you simultaneously believe the simple folk are getting exactly what they deserve and asked for.

It really shouldn't be since that's just the beginning, they'll be coming for everyone that says a single negative thing about the king and his cronies.

Not even a majority of voters, let alone a majority of Americans. Just about 30% of adults in the US voted for trump. We still outnumber them.

The same people who have historically bankrolled and controlled Republicans also run the Democrats. It's kinda hard to "fight the system" when the oligarchs are the system.

What if the rich kept getting eaten until they figured out a system that the rest of us were satisfied with

which is bad, mkay.
