  • I want the owners to feel uncomfortable.

    Im all for this.

    Put Luigi everywhere.

    Even they look out their limo windows at the plebs walking by.

    Let them see Luigi, let them see DENY DEFEND DEPOSE

    Make the owner’s guard gated world feel like a gilded cage.

    Make them feel explicitly unwelcome on every sidewalk they too have to walk down to get to the resturaunt/show/etc they want to go to. Everywhere their exploited congregate.

    They destroyed the Commons, send the message they can get the fuck out of them.

    You might think it won’t matter, but these are the types that lose their fucking minds being denied anything.




  • Imho, as painful as it is, avoiding an economic civil war at this point does more harm than good over time. It kicks the can down the road until their side exclusively can use humanoid robots to fight their battles for them, and that just means get in line and die until collapse.

    The alternative is even darker, our non-wealthy children being judged by AI as to whether the potential profit/loss of healing them is greater or less than their remaining projected exploitation value to the owners.

    And that’s just in Healthcare. Our entire economy has become this sociopathic.

    This is silent slaughter. No one should confuse quiet with peace. We haven’t had peace for a long time.

    They don’t care if only the top 5% is free on the backs of the 95%, they don’t see the bottom 95% as human at all. I don’t think society should continue under that bargain. It isn’t worth it. No one is free until everyone is.

    Psychologist here:

    You’re stuck on number 4 mate.

    It was legal to force African Americans to give up their seats to whites on the bus, until a lot of highly moral activity that was illegal at the time changed that.

    Jim Crow would likely still be in full force today had it not been for adult levels of moral outrage, with accompanying illegal demonstration, that superceded immoral laws.

    It’s a tragic mistake to conflate legality with morality.



  • Yeah that is strange, the affluent usually have gold plated plans that aren’t subject to the same murderous tyranny most’s base level and/or employer provided garbage is. I thought those are the plans they point to as the US having the “best Healthcare in the world…” for the right people, god’s chosen affluenza sociopaths.

    I always saw those plans as the “In the little self-protecting country club” plans provided for the owners fellow owners in actual good faith since they’re seen as bona fide human beings and not exploitation livestock.

    As with anything in the owner’s completely seperate, segregated world, from vacation spots to Healthcare, the only gate they need to keep is prohibitive expense.

    In some developed nations, even the beat cops are disarmed and only their equivalent of SWAT response teams are.

    Law enforcement are seen as community emmisaries, you can walk up to a British cop in a corner with no fear of them shooting you over a misunderstanding.

    This actually helps those police to be seen in a positive light by society.

    I see this as an appropriate compromise. Mitigates the potential for casual police shootings with only 1-2 law enforcement witnesses.

    But American police, while paid a lot for very little education, don’t want to take ANY risks despite explicitly being paid to. They aren’t even in the top 20 most dangerous professions in the US.

    They use their militarized equipment to shoot until everyone’s dead, then ask the corpses questions, instead of doing their jobs and protecting citizens with their lives if necessary. That’s why you get paid booku bucks with a high school diploma, at least in theory.
