    The stupidity is not that they did it

    The stupidity is that we all allowed them to get away with it

      It’s such nonsensical rhetoric putting the blame on the population. These billionaire fucks have the money to challenge & change laws they don’t like, and the money to break laws they can’t remove.

      The “stupid” population just tries to live day-to-day without breaking the law to “get ahead”, but the joke is capitalism can’t thrive without theft.

        If everyone everywhere organized in a coordinated effort cooperatively … they could all automatically shut down the system.

        Imagine if every worker everywhere just organized and said … we’re all not working today … we’re all not working this week.

        Many people could survive the world shutting down for a few days but it would absolutely cripple the economic system that billionaires and corporations rely on.

        The stupidity is that everyone, everywhere are completely unaware of the power they have over the system.

        And it’s not a communist or socialist idea either … there are ways and methods to shut down the system to get what you want … you don’t have to instill a socialist revolution … you can also just use it to get more control over the everything and to one’s own life and personal freedom in the end.

    Medium post? I dunno, this seems like a load of made up bullshit. I find it extremely hard to believe that since 1975 they’ve only stolen 50 trillion dollars.
