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.
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 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?
If justice isn’t legally accessible it will be acquired by other means.

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!

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.)
Super heroes exist to defend the (neoliberal) status quo.
Or a general strike organized by labor and student unions

…Sure. That’ll help. /s
