It's always incredible to see how so many people say they're willing to do something is contrasted with the close to zero people who do it.
I'm 100% sure if you remove the momentum of the system your statement will become a lie.
You mean remove the bread and circus? Definitely. But that's not going to happen.
Otherwise I don't know what you're getting at.
By momentum I mean all these services and people that were keeping everything running who are now fired.
Well then you're supporting what I said, not proving it's a lie.
If you fire someone you remove their ability to access bread and circus.
This is what you said. There are plenty of movements right now that are protesting this. Not many want to turn to violence yet because that is even more destructive than this. If you aren't seeing people act Idk what to tell you.
My comment referring to a very specific "something" was in direct reply to someone very specifically not talking about protests.
Yeah, to me. You replied to me.
Then I don't understand your confusion.
I'm not confused. You're claiming people aren't and won't do shit. Which is demonstratively untrue. People are protesting in the streets. Yeah, no one is actually firing on government officials. Thats not gonna happen until the bulbs burn out because its extremely destructive and guarantees you'll have to rebuild from the rubble. I'm not confused. Your statements aren't backed up.
The "shit" you and I both were talking about was exactly that, not protests.
You're the one that moved the goal posts and declared me incorrect.
Yeah Idk. You were just kinda being jaded about inaction. There is action. Even if its not direct violence yet.
