No one is arguing we should just take it. I mean, there have been demonstrations, riots, murders etc, etc yet the corps keep going on with business as usual because they have the politicians in their back pocket and nothing really changes.
the ruling class has taken away the working class’ only ways of pushing back/fighting back (legally), there’s little left to do. They bought the elections, they own the politicians from both major parties. They own the judges, the police. They tether our healthcare/life to our jobs to control us.
And that’s where the violence comes in. All these cries to humanize the ruling class are disgusting.
No, it’s both. The companies and rich guys own the politicians, judges and police.
They may own a judge or few, but I don't buy that as a rule that they own most or even many. I think it's cynical to think otherwise.
No, the Proud Boys own the police.
Well, they are humans, no? Crummy ones, sure, but we largely don't know who the good ones are and aren't. What if someone is trying to work from within and is wrongly killed?
we know that at least 3 supreme court justices are DEEPLY connected - some would say indebted- to donor money
Not saying that's not happening, but not nearly to the extent you're implying.
Local and state judges are also owned by businesses to enact policies at their levels to accomplish their goals. Thats where it starts.
Oh, no question the system is far from a level playing field. That's never been in doubt. It's been that way since before the country was founded.
And do you remember why the country was founded?
I definitely think there's influence. It varies depending on the jurisdiction, location and industry.
There's definitely corruption out there. To what degree and how widespread it is is anyone's guess though.
Of course, and people still did what people do.
