But the clarity is getting shot in self defense

I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can't help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn't history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

I mean, Kamala is running on policies that would help the little guy. And she might lose to guy who SA's women and said he could shoot someone in the street.

If she wins and we get a peaceful transfer of power, then I'll have more faith in your dream.

But right now, it seems like violence is what the masses crave over social reform.

I loathe this runaway capitalist system we live in just as much as the next but this violent rhetoric is getting a bit too spicy. Let's tax the owning class into oblivion. Take away their undeserved wealth and make them work for a living like the rest of us. Riot and rebel if our lives depend on it. But these calls for the outright slaughter of other human beings are going too far.

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops ...and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.... do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That's the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn't even address whether there's a market in human meat and wealthy traders... And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario....

You're only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it's money-horney talking in you.

And most of the days that's what lemmy sounds like "I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there's an equal distribution of girls among all of us".

We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you'll never convince me that you're neither jealous nor horny.
