It seems people will do absolutely anything except take their anger out on people who might deserve it.

Beat your wife and kids? OK

Run over brown people with your truck? Terrific idea

Shoot your boss? What, never

Well, I know why, it's because the media rallies themselves to get you all riled up about the gays and the browns, so your rage won't have any consequence

They do the same with Islamic extremists in eg Pakistan, funnel people into stupid fundamentalist orgs so they won't look into Marxism, and bonus points, the extremist orgs you're propping up will even hunt communists themselves, the same way conservatives in the US despise anything socialist (in the UK we don't know what communists are, we just hate scroungers, trans and immigrints 😡)

Kind of following up from my post the other day about CEO salaries, still thinking about it, I honestly don't get how senior management are able to kid themselves when they only earn £200k themselves, real serf behaviour

    I think there must be or have been. Corporate policies always have strict measures to make sure fired employees don't take out their anger before they leave

    Other thing I can think of is that not many people would be willing to throw away their lives or their loved ones' by doing something that can hurt them even more than losing their job (the brutal reprisal of capital). I can really only think of very desperate or disturbed people like the Unabomber

    or people joining hands through unionization and striking where they can have more confidence and hope. Sometimes that erupts into real violence, like the Battle of Blair Mountain
