Can’t the Pentagon just sell those $2000 hammers and toilet seats and pull themselves up by their boot strings?

    Everyone is in denial at the fact it’s all bullshit and has been bullshit for a long time. Change will never come if people keep entertaining the bullshit.

    What are people clinging to? Especially people who are single. I can see people with kids clinging hiding from reality… And honestly sometimes I wonder if the tradition of family is partly pushed on people for this exact reason. It forces them to be subservient out of fear for protection.

      The thing is, if people fight back against the pedo cabal in charge, they would suffer massive losses to their power.

      If their workforce revolts, and they kill them… they lose their workforce; thus crippling their power. They really don’t have any scenario they win—unless we continue to fear fighting back against them and keep business as usual.

      I think it’s less a matter of people clinging to anything than just not knowing what to do because of everything you mention in that final paragraph. I think more people are willing to sacrifice for a greater good than is commonly realized, but nobody wants to sacrifice themselves for nothing, and that’s almost certainly what would come from trying to take forceful action at this point. I sympathize with being deeply frustrated, but honestly I think the best thing a good comrade can do for the revolution right now is to try to survive for long enough for a better opportunity to present itself.
