    Torches and pitchforks became obsolete about a century ago anyway, the offshore bank account and private jet are too effective as counters. Now its boycotting and voting.

      Yeah, good luck voting your way out of a system that’s controlled by exactly the people you’re trying to get rid of…

        Better luck than thinking you’ll have one of the few successful mass uprisings over one of the thousands that just gets crushed and gets like 2 sentences in a history book. Slow reform actually has a modest success rate, as we ourselves demonstrated under people like Teddy and FDR. Just not as sexy.

      Ummmm, rioting always has been and still is on the menu.

      Boycotting and voting hasn’t worked that well in 4 decades, time to drag the owner class into the streets and remind them what happened to Rome and France.

        Now that deserves a good luck.

        Side note, this is not the first time rich people have taken over the country, incidentally. We’ve had to fix this before.
