More people have been arrested for sticking their hand in the reflecting pool.

Justice was always a lie anon

Well one woman was. While all the men she worked for a free.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but she's kind of in a luxury setting, given the options. And potentially in a safer place, considering the crimes.

She’s in club fed which means she can have a therapy animal…

Were not angry enough

We need guillotine levels of anger

Every time we post a meme, it let's a little steam out. Unless we plug the holes, we will never be angry enough. By design.

Awareness and community are foundational parts of any movement. What's important is organizing with those near by in real life, consistently holding events, and keeping up with fighting for change

Well, that’s just the way it is when there are billionaires. As long as that’s the case, there can be no justice. That’s already evident in the very fact that society allows them to exist in the first place.

These people are responsible for the vast majority of humanity’s misery. One would think that should be more than clear by now.

They ain't gonna arrest themselves. That'd be silly.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That's what I don't get about people.

"All the rich and powerful were caught having sex with children! You mean like the people in charge of our criminal justice system? Yeah, like them! Wow, I hope they get arrested!"

It's like expecting Trump to be the one to put a stop to all of his own shenanigans simply because that's what the president is supposed to do. It only works if the people doing it and the people in charge of stopping it aren't the same people, and aren't friends.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, but if we vote for the people that will give justice, they might force free healthcare onto us. We can’t have that! And what about my guns! They have rights too!!!

[–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 17 hours ago

The real irony is the fact they’re making so many people homeless, yet failing to realize everyone going after the rich will get a home and 3 meals a day in prison.

The best we can hope for is some development of class consciousness as the public sees plainly the two-tiered justice system that ignores the extreme wrongdoings of the ownership class.

Then we can work towards a society in which there is a narrower gap between the wealthy and the impoverished, and there are mechanisms to keep anyone from amassing too much wealth or political power.

Until then, civilizations will rise, rot from within and collapse has they have historically, over and over and over again.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that any lasting change like that will not happen in my lifetime. This is all we have ever done, it is presumably all we will ever do, failing alien invasion or a mass extinction event. And while global warming is shaping up to be the latter, I doubt the wars over water and food will suddenly turn their attention to billionaires and do something about them; it will merely slowly escalate and get worse while they gaslight the majority that everything is business as usual, until one day we wake up and all these assholes have fled into their doomsday bunkers.

Nothing will happen until people stop pretending violence is not a tool to be used. It is one the state uses against the working class, and it is one the working class has conceded under the delusion of voting away the owners in the system they own.

Nothing short of violent revolution will end this.

Which ones? Cause there are so many people for so many offenses at this point .

Or do you mean all of them ?

[–] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago
