If justice isn’t legally accessible it will be acquired by other means.
The working class has been crushed by neoliberalism for 50+ years and there’s still no justice in site. The oligarchs that control “democracy” know there’s a high chance they’ll remain insulated from all the suffering they cause. They are so confident in this their goal now is to remove the illusion of democracy.
All they had to do was construct a society where the working class is exposed exclusively to neoliberal propaganda from birth until death. Several generations onwards, and here we are. Class consciousness is essentially none amongst large swaths of the working class population.
Nice phrase but that doesn’t seem to be how things have worked for a while now
We’re not French, unfortunately.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
We can have them too!
For that, we need mass organization, which is extremely difficult both logisticly (due to the size of the US and how spread out the polulation is) and politicly (decades of neoliberal and red scare propoganda).
Do you understand that with a response like this the only thing you are accomplishing is making someone with the right idea and passion… less passionate about the thing?
So give me a solution. How can America organize en masse?
If only we had some way to communicate easily over long distances, maybe a network that allows for computers to interact like some kind of “Internet”.
Lol no it won’t.
we need batman or the punisher lol
Super heroes will not save us from this shit. Not ever. (Even if they weren’t fictional.)
Or a general strike organized by labor and student unions
So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?
…Sure. That’ll help. /s
Here’s a ‘fun’ math problem for the whole family:
Step 1) Find out what a life is worth: What was the amount of money awarded to relatives in the latest court case that had a payout for a death?
Step 2) Find out how much money was embezzled.
Step 3) Calculate the damage done by those fuckers in terms of people killed.Last I read, online mind you, was that most insurance companies use 10 million in their equations.
If I remember correctly that’s the value an average person will earn companies they work for during their entire life. So the older you are the less you’re worth.
The defendants in that case were acquitted because the income of money from illicit sources could not be determined, according to a court statement.
Sounds like the judge did their level best to find some random way to weasel out of doing their job. “Oh, wait, you can’t prove definitively that every single penny of the laundered money was from illegal sources? Guess that means everyone is innocent!”
It can’t just be me and my perspective. The world is just legitimately getting worse, in almost every respect. WTF.
The world is getting better in the long run by almost every metric, don’t get sucked into the doomer mentality.
Still fucked up ruling though.
Bro we’re about to kill the whole fucking planet and America just legalized political assassination.
The system still working as intended.
