Don't rationalize and defend top-tier sociopathy like this. These people say what their intentions are, openly declare that they will do what they intend to, and they do it. At this point, there is no objective conclusion that can be reached other than these people waging a war against the majority of the people for the benefit of minority capital.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoJanet Yellen is 76, Jerome Powell is 69. Does it do good to rail against folks who only have another 5-10 years of life expectancy? They are who they are, they will not change. No. Focus on building systems to arrive at your desired outcome. I am entirely serious when I suggest unions and organizing; it is the only civil solution against tyranny at the top.
- unity1001 4y ago> Does it do good to rail against folks who only have another 5-10 years of life expectancy This has little to do with actual individuals. When those go away, they will be replaced by those of the same ideology by those who put the current ones to those places. This is an ideology. > I am entirely serious when I suggest unions and organizing; it is the only civil solution against tyranny at the top. Hopefully. History shows that when things come to a head, the elite does not hesitate from using violence at any cost. That was how the fascist movements came to being - as 'strike breakers' for private industrialists. Then they were funded and politically backed by those industrialists to have them become 'movements'.
