I love how a Biogen conference was responsible for one of the biggest initial outbreaks of Covid, and now every senior will be responsible for paying $20 more per month for a drug of theirs that has no clinical efficacy whatsoever. When will they ever get what's coming to them? One must wonder... Things are really starting to feel like France at the turn of the 18th century.

  I am aligned with this and it pushes me towards vigilantism. In the words of big Sean "if you want the crown bitch you gotta take it", although here the crown is more the abolishment of the new aristocracy.

    Vigilantism is execrable. It leads to redundant punishments of the very famous, no justice for most crimes, and a lot of false positives.

      "no justice for most crimes and a lot of false positives" may sum up our justice system as-is?

        Unfortunately that sums up vigilantism too.

The French revolution wasn't the poor against the rich. It was the rich vs the politicians and royalty.
