It is not tolerant to lock somebody up instead of killing them.
Go ahead and lock them up. We're all watching.
Yeah i know you are just watching. Because if enough people get off their assess, you just might not enable the billionaire class.
They enable themselves by buying all the politicians they can.
We just want to make sure they can't ever do that again.
And you/we should. But killing is not only the most simpleminded solution but also calling for that gives them any legal reason to have you locked up. You can legally call for locking them up and taxing the shit out of them without problems. You can always vote against and protest the buying of politicians.
Say the guy who defended billionaires interest the whole thread…
Not defending. Advocating for another method of stopping them then killing them. My history will tell you I'm pro taxation of the rich and against violence. Go ahead and Lock them all up for all I care but stop calling for rolling heads. ;)
They rewrote the rules to make sure they would never be locked up. And if you find a loophole, they'll pay the right people to update the rule immediately. You can't lock them up with the current system. You can't change the system. They control it.
So what now?
Politicians need to fear the populous again. But not because they fear to lose their heads but for fear of losing their jobs.
Studies already showed that in the US, congress doesn't give a flying fuck about the voters. Once elected, they work for their donors and pretty much no one else.
The 2 parties system, in practice, locks out any 3rd one that would change the trend.
Between a legal corruption scheme and complicity of oligarchs owned medias, donors money is what keeps them elected time and again, not what they really do.
Now what?
The only glimpse of hope is the democrat socialist winning primaries. Is that a solid trend enough they could get actual power? Maybe, maybe not.
Note that it's not so much better outside of US.
Once elected. You still have to get elected. Educating voters about corruption could be one goal. Giving them hope that could change. America needs a cultural shift in politics.
Funny how all you write has been true for decades and it seems they care even less now than before.
Well in one case the majority wants change and votes that way. In the other you are calling for a violent minority revolution that would be anti democracy.... Political advocacy is a way to connect to the populous. Go, advocate, do activism instead of calling for violence on the internet.
