Comment on Fucking why though? Are cows endangered?

I’m just trying to figure out the original meme. What was the joker right about? His speech on tv wasn’t bad, aside from the insanity and murder, but it really wasn’t a rallying cry or a thesis. It was just a dude who’d been failed by the system five times too many, and the resulting backlash.

If the oligarchs continue to squeeze us, then they deserve the results

The joker is the avatar of the will of the people denied. He’s the French revolution, most revolutions really

Revolutions are insanely destructive. When you push the people beyond their breaking point and keep pushing, society collapses. There is no glorious revolution, there is mass death. For every deserving person, dozens or hundreds or thousands will die as collateral. Maybe more at this point

20 years. On the lower end. When the people flip the table, things don’t get better for a long time. But this is not a logical decision even it happens… It’s a tinderbox and a spark

  Eh, I’d argue the French revolution ultimately was a good thing. Introduced the metric system, ended the aristocracy’s power in a ton of places, and so on.

    Most revolutions in the long term are ultimately a good thing.
    
    You don’t get revolutions with out things being very very bad, so any change is almost always good.
    
    Even if it takes a few attempts and misteps on a long enough time scale you would be hard pressed to find any revolution that was truly bad.
    
    The entire reason revolutions are considered bad is because to get there and the process of is so insanely destructive.
