  It sounds like we need to crowdfund the creation of a Private Military Company. We’ll need a good name for it.

    Why not crowd fund your own lobbyist and think tank. Do what the rich do.

    Think tanks create a strategy. They create bills that interest your interest. They tell you what politician to target.

    Hand the package to lobbyist who target those politician and start pushing change they it ia supposed to occur. Keep your issue in front of the politician. Show them through your research that if they pass and fight for (x) that they will stay in power or gain popularity and it will benefit the country.

    Or call them Nazis and throw food at works of art. Not sure the best route.

      Where do we donate that $50 right now?

      I think that’s part of the problem too. No one knows an effective method to follow through with, or if they do find one, it’s more often than not, not the same one “I” chose.

    That’s how you actually get assassinated.

      Ok ok ok so then let’s put it on the blockchain. Nobody in charge, “assassination politics”.

  People need to remember that the Western culture rewards people with mental illness. Ultra wealthy are sociopaths to the core. This is why they can have no empathy for people. We all were scratching our heads how the Studio Heads in Hollywood couldn’t wrap their heads around fair treatment of their worker’s.

  These people aren’t evil, they are inherently broken. Normal people don’t aspire to do whatever it takes to trampled over others for gains.

  We need to stop rewarding the mentally ill with more money and instead put them in psychiatric wards.

    Sociopathy is not a mental illness.

    • Sheeple@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      But psychopathy sure is

    I have meet plenty of poor sociopaths. It isnt some super power. Maybe you just hear of the combination of rich and sociopath because no one cares that the guy who makes 20k a year towing cars lacks empathy.

  They do as well, the difference being they have enough money too disassociate themselves and have someone else deal with the mental, social and financial repercussions.

  The whole “eat the rich” thing is pretty offensive to survivors of the Cultural Revolution, where there are several actual examples of political torture-cannibalism documented by the CCP. Though, in this case, the “rich” were just teachers and lawyers and other people deemed uppity.

  • dangblingus@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Okay, but context is important. No one is talking about the CR. We’re talking about French Revolution era inequality.

    Who’s talking about the CCP? Looks like you’re going out of your way to be offended.

    Or maybe the capitalist brainwashing got you bad.
