That just sounds like the analytic part of Das Kapital. Now, what are we going to do about it?

We are definitely taking notice how a tiny number of rich people have so much control over our lives.

Sadly, local organization is slower than the deterioration of the global climate, and law enforcement are now hunting mutual aid orgs in some states. It may be that we have to find our Mahsa Amini moment, where some poor innocent gets massacred, leading us to protests that are put violently down, which escalates to uprising against authorities. It'll be messy, but so far our ownership class is unwilling to allow progress without violent retaliation.

I know what I'm gonna do! I'm gonna write something smug and sarcastic and then tap "reply."

Edit: my work here is done!
