    We need to figure out a way to change that.

    Brother, Americans have been trying to change that since the beginning of America itself. At a point you have to accept that the system is not willing to change and needs to go altogether. It is explicitly designed to give all the power to the wealthy and to make the masses forget how much they achieve when they work outside of it.

      Hot take that so many post here. What are you doing to change it? Hitting a downvote button? Wow, that’ll change the country.

      This take has, is, and never will, change anything. Absolutely useless anchors. You’re not starting a revolution. Either fucking do something or live with it.

        I’m doing exactly what I told you to do.

        I am getting organized with a revolutionary party, doing outreach and education in my community, forming coalitions, marching in protests and chanting at rallies. I’m doing what exactly was done to win civil rights reform, women’s suffrage, the new deal, etc. etc. etc, and I’m doing so with a party that is prepared to lead the country should they ever get the chance to do so.

        Lmao. “anchor” is a funny term to use when you’re the one too busy wallowing in your own sorrow to get out on the streets and fight for a better tomorrow.

        Either fucking do something or live with it.

        Yes, yes, you’ve chosen the latter, I’ve chosen the former and I’m giving you a kick in the ass to do the same. That is the premise of this conversation.

        I don’t know what tomorrow will look like, but I do know one thing; a revolution sure as hell isn’t going to happen with such a defeatist attitude. If I’m going down, I’m going down fighting to the bitter end. I am not content to sit around and watch the world burn as I twist myself in knots trying to absolve my own personal guilt for being part of the problem.

        Edit: I thought this was a different thread but I’m leaving it as is cause it fucking goes for you too.
