American Singer #EthelCain doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to her support for #LuigiMangione.

“It’s simple, you make them fear for their lives and hit them in the only place they hurt or nothing will ever get done. The world is burning and it’s very clear who’s holding the matches”

@dbattistella

They will just get bigger and better bodyguards around them further isolating them from reality.

The only solution is to get their companies to act ethically, if not, hit them where it really hurts in the pocket. Regulation and taxes.

If only those that would benefit would vote for it...

@stuart voting is fine but one has to trust that the politicians actually work for us,, and we know that's not the case much anymore... and isolating from reality never works out for the hoarding class quite as they expect... I mean, Versailles was as far away from reality as one could get in 1789...

I'm waiting for America's live-action adaptation of the 5th and 6th of October, 1789, Versailles.

@Radical_EgoCom @dbattistella @stuart keep your eyes on Los Angeles. The way the fires are being handled is giving big Katrina energy.

@Radical_EgoCom @dbattistella

1789 was the people against the aristocracy. In that sense it was democracy denied a vote. But even so post-1789 wasn't prdtty.

2025 US is the opposite in the government is what the majority think they want and voted for. They massively outgun the progressive half so would a revolution be a massacre leaving an even more reactionary state?

Be careful what you wish for.

@stuart @dbattistella

Revolution is something that should be done even with the possibility of failure. We need a revolution. Capitalism is killing us through poverty and imperialism, and it's destroying our environment through profit-based environmental destruction. If we don't have a revolution, i.e., eliminate capitalism and replace it with a system that prioritizes human needs over profit, humanity is doomed to go extinct. 1/2

@stuart @dbattistella

It's better to revolt even with the possibility of failure if it means we might survive. 2/2

@Radical_EgoCom @dbattistella

Ironically I think you may be right.

A series of worldwide revolutions that destroy capitalism may be more effective at reducing co2 emmissions than any inter-governmental regulation.

The cost of billions dead and billions starving and homeless you may see as worthwhile in the survival of our species even disproportionately re-populated by oligarchs from their bunkers.

The chance of repeating the failure makes me wonder if that's worthwhile.

Still looking for a better way.
