In normal countries violence was used to overthrow repressive regimes. In America, they actively elect repressive regimes & the working class chose to act as human shields for their chosen godking (with the occasional school child sacrifice to the gods of guns).
Forget taxes - why don’t we just cap everything at 1 billion and put all the excess wealth into a sovereign wealth trust for a nation? Taxes would be nominal after that. Problem solved. 🧞♂️
The processes we would use to cap wealth would be subverted by the wealthy, the same way the taxation process has ALREADY been subverted by the wealthy.
"How do we use power to limit power?" It's not so simple a problem, because the people that have it "magically" no longer want to limit it.
Or better yet, force them by law to directly pay for public works projects, they get a plaque with their name there too, but they don't get to do anything with that project, nor control how it is made
The wealthy fear even the gentlest forms of accountability (like fair taxation), ignoring the historical consequences (symbolized by guillotines) of extreme inequality. It’s a satirical reminder that refusing small sacrifices could lead to much bigger problems.
But that's wrong - same BS we were told in the 70's and tax rates rose to almost 70% - they're not little frightened little birds and won't fly away. They flourished,
All talk of guillotines and revolution, but they don't even have the support union support. They don't even have the blue-collar working class support anymore.
Yeah while I do know that under very controlled circumstances where the hackers knew where the drones were coming from and knew they were within range of their devices such things have occurred, but from 7 miles out in any direction nobodies hacking shit.
Kyle is a shill and careerist who profits by pandering to emotional individuals too busy or unwilling to engage with political rhetoric. This post exemplifies how he exploits intellectually lazy people for monetary gain. In other words, Kyle is a piece of shit and it is your right to know that.
Which clearly illustrates the complete inequity in our runaway capitalist system. Some of those upper 5 paid next to nothing, while others paid closer to their fair share. But I'm guessing NONE paid close to the percentage their income would indicate, unlike the bottom 50.
globally, maybe, but that's a weird way of looking at things. if you make €20k a year in vienna you can't even rent an apartement. if you make €20k a year in some 3rd world country you are probably better off
Socialists, conservatives, Democrats, liberals, libertarians, apolitical normies, are all the monolith that eventually summon the tiger because nobody can breathe let alone have a decent life with all the rich boots on our necks.
You're trying to demotivate a movement. Why? What's in it for you?
The guillotine isn’t always controlled by the people. Sometimes a dictator watches as an oligarch looks out the window for a breath of fresh air and trips.
Cute. It might be more helpful, though, to touch on some of the highlights for the inspiration. In particular, the king asserted authority against the general interests. Representatives of the people were barred from assembly. They assembled elsewhere, the movement coalesced, and the tyrant deposed.
The soviets went so far they clapped the entire Romanov family.
Sadly that didn't stop oligarchs from forming and taking hold after the collapse of the ussr. Kinda what happens when you condone markets and commodification.
Did rich people tell u that, you know the ones that wrote the history books, approved the history courses, and STILL try to placate how cruel it was??? Or did the peasants (which unless your a billionaire, you are now in U💩S🤡a💩) tell you that?
The guillotine led to Napoleon which led to the Bourbon Restoration. It was a disaster. Like it or not, but Robespierre and Murat are remembered as monsters.
Unless you been living under a rock im sure you guys heard about 100 men vs a gorilla. Welp the algorithm gods have shown me this 9 year old video of a leopard attacking a group of men it dont work out for kitty but kitty eats gorillas. So 100 humans I'd say would get the V
Well, the richest man in the world became the richest man in the world as a democrat. Why don’t you go and find out how many billions of dollars he paid in taxes and when you do find that out, shut your pie hole
So let’s talk about the oligarchy when all the Dems like Zuckerberg Gates, and all of those baseballs was on your side you didn’t give a damn about the oligarchy now because one is on our side he was a Democrat. He became the richest man in the world as a Democrat, you’re pissed.
I have been advocating for no limit on SS taxes for YEARS, even though my taxes would go up. I am not a fan of any of those techbros. You don't know me at all.
But I know you're an Elon fanboy.
Why don’t you Google how much taxes, the richest man in the world and he became the richest man in the world as a Democrat has paid this last year in taxes

We’re going to have to start getting comfortable with some pretty uncomfortable ideas if we want to keep this democracy

NOBODY will ever respond to this Q.
How much of someone’s money does the government get to steal from citizens?
All taxes (but for roads, fire and police) are UNFAIR IMO.
You're trying to demotivate a movement. Why? What's in it for you?
Is the leopard that eats people's faces the villain, even when the people put their head in the cage?
They can't run as fast.
Run away Run away!
We need to fix it with more than rhetoric, mean words and memes.
