Just the commoners. Blue collar and lower social status folks would riot if they knew the full extent of what white collar crime lords get away with.

They wouldn't. Proof: Nobody cared about Cum-Ex. Nobody revolted after 2008 neither.

  I wouldn't say nobody, you did have the Occupy Wallstreet protests after all. That said, it wasn't the French Revolution...

  Nobody cared or the proletariat was coincidently not shown? this scandal seems to have been completely swept under the rug lending my argument credence. Also, were you living under a rock during occupy? These movements got systematically infiltrated and dismantled by Fed’s using obscene methods, like getting suspects pregnant. It’s unlikely we’ll ever actually know how bad their methods were because they were successful at forcing people back underground. Make no mistake though, these people are still around and still agitating, they’re just smarter now.

        The original claim was >dismantled by Fed’s using obscene methods, like getting suspects pregnant The article says: >One of the spies was Bob Lambert, who has already admitted that he tricked a second woman into having a long-term relationship with him, as part of an intricate attempt to bolster his credibility as a committed campaigner. I guess the statement is technically true in the sense that the group got infiltrated by the feds, that somehow led to the group being "dismantled", and because the infiltration involved getting the activists pregnant you could say that it was "dismantled by [...] getting suspects pregnant". However, it's massively misleading because reading it at face value makes me think the government was getting people pregnant with the explicit aim of preventing them from protesting (because they're too busy being pregnant). I'm not sure why you didn't go with went with that framing rather than a more reasonable one of "dismantled by Fed’s using obscene methods, like having children with activists to gain their trust".

        Ocaam wants a word. What’s more likely: >government was getting people pregnant with the explicit aim of preventing them from protesting Undercover cops getting people pregnant to maintain cover since they can’t control their sexual promiscuity?
