    Just remember to steal from the capitalists, not each other. I really don’t want to lose a third bike…

      Someone smashed up my really nice bike recently. I had it parked in Melbourne’s inner west. I suspect it was due to spite because of wealth inequality. Thing is I’m not wealthy, I just got it at an auction for a bargain. I’ve never owned a car, and wanted to get a nice bike for the first time, in my 30s. Now I feel I can’t even have that one nice thing in public.

    No shit, Sherlock.

    Disenfranchise the entire working class, push them beyond the brink of self-sufficiency, demean them for their status in life…

    What do you expect to happen? If people can’t afford to live, they’re going to lash out at the society they see as having abandoned them.
