Dude straight up reached under the superstructure and pulled it up to show the ocean of resentment and righteous malice working class people have for the elites

The collective mind is willing, but the body politic is drowned by the old reactions and false consciousness

    Maybe but I think we're here since the Trump assassination attempt. I imagine civility crying nerds would be laughed at just as much. Democrats act like the pressure relief valve. All hate is turned into vote blue.

    We're still far from a real blanket hate towards capitalists. This could well be just the target being almost a cartoon villain. Small business tyrants and landlords deserve it just as much but see how that goes once the media starts running stories about how the "far left" wants to kill the grandmother who just happens to owns 3 homes.

    We need to put both the mom and dad small business tyrants in a re-education camps but good luck going from evil healthcare CEO billionaire to the reality all capitalist business are bad and evil.

    IMO this is more like proving modern society will not survive climate change, both political parties and capitalist media will struggle to keep the appearance of a normal society.

    However this could just be the path to neofeudalism or some shit. Pay attention to the media and police efforts. We could be heading towards a future of rich people walking around followed by PMCs in full military gear and vehicles because the state failed to enforce the current appearance of normalcy.

      Good. I'd rather have the inherent anti-social position they occupy as overlords be naked to the rest of our eyes. The fact that they get to roam around unmolested in society because of politeness and decorum and the ignorance of their fellows is bad. They should feel exposed and they should expose their difference. Because fuck them. If you want to make a fuck ton of money being an oppressor then by all means put on the uniform. If it causes people to not interact with you. If it causes you emotional distress. If it means you can't blend into a crowd. By all means.
