Should. But who's gonna send them there? Same with Trump at this point, who can arrest him?

I'll believe it when I see it, Americans too often prove otherwise.

Is that gonna be outside any oligarchs mansions? Or is it gonna be somewhere they can safely ignore us again.

Only one in three hundred million something Americans have the balls to do anything like that.

Meanwhile half of lemmy will get mad at you for thinking that holding signs over some sidewalk won't do more good than making the rich scared.

and voilà ~~money~~ credit system.

If you're talking about money as a "quantitive measurement of debt" then that's really just a credit system or form of social currency, and was created specifically for debt forgiveness and debt cancellation, with the strict purpose of not holding debt over other people through violence or slavery.

If you're talking about money in terms of coin, it's strict purpose is to pay armies, mercenaries, or bandits and to be used for colonial purposes of unfairly taxing conquered lands to pay back the costs of being conquered. "We could've killed you, but we didn't, and it was rather expensive to conquer you so we expect compensation. Here's 500 pieces of silver with some dudes head printed on it, you owe us 100 pieces of this silver every year, forever, or we'll kill/starve/enslave you all. Join our market or die." Thus posessing said silver becomes a mafia-style protection racket of debt pionage whereby communities are forced to adopt the currency or face the threat of violence.

Money as a social contract vs what money is today are two very different things.

How many bombing campaigns has China done on Uighur refugee camps?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

In China if you did that police would show up at your door to intimidate you, if you did it again you and your family would dissappear

Any proof of this? Because I got recent proof of this sort of stuff happening in America.

Americans wouldn't. China does.
