    There’s already a class war.

    The poor just aren’t fighting back.

        Not exactly the right picture[1], but it will do.


        1. The “bugs” are us or the Palestinians in that movie,
          after a Dutch director decided to read up on an Usonian author
          and decided that they haven’t gotten the memo on what fascism looks like. ↩︎

      The ruling class has way better grasp of Marxism than the vast majority of the western left. https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/

    American Christians don’t realize that the bible is a story of class war.

      Never forget that in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state.

        El-p has the best verse on that song, and killer Mike is a capitalist. I also quote that line a lot and can suffer the cognitive dissonance of listening to killer Mike. Just know that it’s kayfabe for him.

    Oh good.

    At first I thought they said Luigi was sick with a fever.

    Carry on with the good news…

    The “cop cities” that popped up around the country show that they’ve known for a while and have been preparing for it.

    “…warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on rich people and corporate bigwigs”

    As they should and there’s not even a group left to fake blame.
    Usonian immigrants are in jail.
    The Usonian poor and un(der)employed is what most Usonians have become.

    I’m not from US and maybe I’m dumb but isn’t the whole idea and major responsibility of country to protect the poor that are legs and support middle class that are lungs of your country ?
