Stock market crashing -> now a reason for corporate interests to align with resistance -> finally hearing about protests in mainstream media
From Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”, emphasizes added.
The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it’s in their interests to do so. Don’t trust them past the current crisis.
Don’t even trust them now. Nothing has happened yet. We can say that they took our side after MAGA is out of power and the extremist apparatus that supported them is totally destroyed.
If there’s one lesson we can learn from Trump, it’s that it’s much easier to destroy something than it is to build it. IF we gain power again, we need to take that lesson to heart, and turn it against the fascists who gleefully applied it to the American people, and the rest of the democratic world.
It’s fascinatingly dumb how short-sighted they are. Do they like having money? People deported, in jail, dead, unemployed, homeless can’t buy their stuff. A delusional hope of feeding off government money only works until the government no longer has a use for you, or decides to just take you over and you become part of the government.
It is in their best interests to support the masses, but they can’t ever see past 3 months in the future.
Eventually! Yes! I got 3 billion dollars!.. Hmm tasty! How much is that Apple my fellow citizen?..its 2 billion dollars please!
Last time I checked police depended on pensions too and they are invested
congress almost never touches police funding at all, because they are useful tools.
Emphasis on the “tools”
