So long as they don’t democratically elect a socialist. Otherwise they’re getting a Western-backed far-right dictator forced on them instead to “prove socialism doesn’t work.”

Well, 100% of the people you’ve met so far haven’t killed you. I would argue that at least 95% of the people you’ve ever encountered have been good, in fact.

Out of all the people you’ve encountered or interacted with, how many times were you murdered?

You sound like a very sad and lonely individual.
During natural disasters where society and infrastructure completely collapses and is destroyed, it is in human DNA to help eachother, collaborate, cooperate, and rebuild. Your ‘ape-based species’ bullshit is not founded in science, but founded by eugenisists stupid enough to look at apes and say “we’re like, the same.”
Human history is nothing but a series of people figuring out how to get along with eachother. People who focus on all the war and violence stuff are scary, and need some serious professional help. Yes, I’m talking about you, HugeNerd.

To somewhat even out the wealth gap I think higher taxes on the wealthy and more rights for unions is pretty much all that is needed.
I’m sure if we asked the billionaires and their paid-for politicians nicely, they’ll start writing and enforcing laws that’ll tax them more and give more rights to unions.
Hard /s

No I mean provide sources for your claims, otherwise you sound like a MAGA person saying “Just trust me bro I saw it on facebook.” Making a claim and then saying “various articles” is vague and dismissive at best, where did you find these numbers? Facebook?

Ah, the MAGA defense.

Here’s an idea: Try to push a #OccupyBillionaires or #OccupyMansions movement.
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 1 year ago:
What about the £36 trillion in offshore tax havens as of 2016 which is probably much bigger now. That’s not tied up into assets, that’s liquid like a Well of Souls.

- Comment on Germany right now 1 year ago:
WW3 won’t be a nuclear war between States. WW3 will be a global class uprising, I just fear we’ll have to go through 100+ years of ‘Equilibrium’ or ‘V for Vendetta’ type dystopia before that happens. Why does that have to be the sensible approach? Why not rip off the bandaids now while billionaires addresses are still public information?

Almost everyone has family members or friends that vote far-right and we need to talk to them
I try. My family calls themselves left of center and liberal, yet no books on Marx but certainly have books on Hitler. My brother who works in finance lauds great mathematicians in history, but he won’t read about Einstein’s politics because I smoke weed therefore my recommendation is “hard to take seriously.” They think the rise of fascism is just media sensationalism, and things are better than ever because “the markets say so / GDP is higher than ever.” I try to explain, through the words of economists, that GDP and markets aren’t a good measure of wealth disparity, and they accuse me of being envious that I don’t have as much money as them. I try to explain that money isn’t everything, they roll their eyes like i’m on some hippy-revolutionary kool aid and no different from MAGA. They say I should stop worrying about “the news” and “focus on yourself,” meanwhile i’m disabled from hyperthyroidism and they roll their eyes at my pain and immobility like i’m being lazy. Fuck “enlightened centrists” they walk and talk just like fascists do.

There’s a lot of the “atheist” tech bros that still peasant-brain worship the market with human sacrifices as if it will bear them miracles. I like to tell them “You’re an atheist just like me, except I go one god further.”

Yeah grow a food coop for the first band of fascist thugs that show up with guns. We need to arm ourselves and train just as much as decentralize our food. If you think they’ll go away peacefully and leave our gardens alone you’re horribly naive.
