    I think the main issue is that violence is being waged against 90%+ of the population in terms of division via media outlets, price gouging, wage reduction, removal of safety nets, busting unions, restricting how people can protest, police brutality, a system that blocks positive change, etc

    All of this gets obscured because you aren’t seeing billionaires directly killing people, but that is the outcome, hundreds of millions of people have suffered or died because of their actions.

    At what point do we say enough is enough? When do we remind them that they should fear us?

      You’re absolutely right that the common man gets played constantly, to be controlled. I won’t argue that point.

      But advocating for violence so early in the process is just wrong, and it would just not happen.

      People want safety, stability, and prosperity, and trying to get them to go against that to affect the change that you’re advocating is just too much of an ask, and it’s not right, as once humans go violent everything goes up in flames.

      There are more things that can be done between doing nothing, and sparking a revolution, that haven’t been tried yet.
