• Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree with you and the post. It’s what SHOULD be happening - after all, the rich and powerful are not going to let power be voted away from them, which means some kind of direct action is needed.

    My issue, however, is that there’s just no such action happening in reality and there really hasn’t been for decades - there are protests, there are some attempts, but they’re nowhere close to being successful enough to make an impact. Hell, the right seems to be doing a better job on that regard for some reason, with events like January 6th being something that the left should have been doing.

    With all this in mind, that kind of rhetoric starts sounding more like empty slogans or even LARPing in a way.
