From Jan. 1 to June 30, the nation endured 28 mass killings, all but one of which involved guns. The death toll rose just about every week.

    That requires that capital is transferred from the elites to the general population, and that won’t happen under the current power structures.

      Preaching the choir dawg… I think most thinking plebs have arrived at a similar conclusion.

      However masses too busy fighting culture wars and consuming propaganda… While elites enabled by boomers looting the treasury.

        Couldn’t have said it better myself man. Although don’t discount the brain rot with my millennial generation. I meet a lot of millennials who vote just like the boomers do.

          no doubt we got fair share of bootlickers with in Gen Y, however, this is natural as decent part of us benefits from the regime as is. they will get their inheritances and they get good jobs via class and nepotism systems. there is no way to make these people to come around with logic because common pleb logic does not apply to them.

          if only working plebs could finally come around and realize that they are not temporally impoverished millionaires… pleb and elite… we are not the same lol

              ehh the Gen nobody wants to talk about haha

              used to look to y’all when i was younger. most of my real education came from Gen X… well besides being abused by boomers.

              However, in recent years, my experience with Gen X has been negative as they moved into mid/upper position and now turning around try to extract value from me as if they are the new boomers.

              Then they get butt hurt when the answer is NO… you don’t get a turn clown. This shit stops.

                Good. I think too many in gen x just got crushed by being so devoid of agency, politically speaking, that they just gave up. It’s been a struggle watching this country I was told to love and support unconditionally continuously spiral downward because the generation that preceeded me milked the system for all it was worth before stealing the same opportunities for social and economic advancement from future generations.
