Bidenomic is based in Reaganomics only doesn’t hand social program budgets so quickly to the religious ministries.

Even in the 1800s railrod barons owned all the candidates in the primaries. So we can’t redistribute wealth by vote.

It does show what it did during the Great Depression. Our ownership class will gladly see us starve and freeze than give up their vast holdings. They’ll hire armies and lawyers alike to keep wealth they cannot actually utilize (except to gain more wealth) even if it drives the human species to extinction.

And the longer it takes for the public to fight back, the higher the global catastrophic risk.

This, however, isn’t to say we can choose revolution at any time. Violence remains unthinkable until the hour it is inevitable; until the hour we find our Mahsa Amini, we can only stir and wait.
