The point is that the rich have purchased a system that protects them. If theyโre scared that people are resorting to other methods, because the system wonโt go after them, then they can choose to fix the system so people actually see results without murder. As long as they feel safe and cozy, they have no incentive to fix the system they rigged.
Well, insofar as violent revolution increasingly appears to be there only tool remaining, but I have more faith that The Rich will be able to successfully manipulate the masses into slaughtering each other, a-la another civil war, than that the masses will be able to accomplish anything lasting. But, then, The Rich are few and control all of the media, and masses are by nature not intelligent constructs. If weโre really lucky, weโll just have a limited civil war; if weโre not, we may end up with a Khmer Rouge, which wonโt be fun for anybody.
True, but Iโd rather the fear of doing something not stop us from doing anything.
