Think of the French Revolution. The English hated the French with a passion, but when the revolutionaries started killing the aristocracy the English lords were suddenly pals with their counterparts.

This is why I want an anti-capitalist revolution. We replace the executives with AI and then by the time they realise how they empowered and galvanized the working class, we rise up to remove the boards of directors, putting the companies and dividends in the hands of the populous to feed into the UBI fund.

I've been hearing people talk about 'revolution' since I started learning about politics.

There was no revolution in 2000 when the Supreme Court upended the actual vote.

There was no revolution in 2016 when the guy who got fewer votes got in.

If all the people who were talking about revolution had actually hit the streets and organized we could have had Bernie in office by now.

If there is a revolution it's probably going to be the Right going full fascist.

I'm honestly not expecting any revolution to start in America. They keep saying how they need guns for it, but it will be one of the last to join the revolution and only then go to try and hold on to a semblance of power.
