No need to get overly semantic. We the people. We the 90% who have no representation in media or politics.

Sure, and throw the legal system in there too. They're not fit for purpose, unless you realize what their purpose really is - upholding and maintaining a murderous, genocidal, apocalyptic status quo. No exaggeration.
- BerislavLopac 2y ago> We the people. We the 90% who have no representation in media or politics. My point exactly. And without that representation, we have zero leverage to hold anyone responsible.
- mandmandam 2y ago> without that representation, we have zero leverage to hold anyone responsible. Few revolutions and progressive movements have had politics and media on their side. Moral high ground, solidarity, economic disruption (strikes, protests etc), non-violent resistance, and armed resistance are all levers we can use... Which is why we're seeing peaceful protesters mocked, savagely beaten, tear-gassed, jailed, called terrorists, and straight-up murdered. Armed resistance is almost unthinkable, given the entities being challenged, and yet, those who make peaceful revolution impossible... I don't have all the solutions for this, but letting things keep going as they are is rapidly diminishing humanity's potential.
