    We need a focus point for the revolution. Something the masses can rally behind and not get divided by bullshittery.

      How about we guillotine all the billionaires, oligarchs, evil CEOs and politicians that are perpetuating all this insanity.

      Then once that’s done we can have a nice fireside chat to discuss what our focus point needs to be.

      Gas prices spiking to $10. That’d do it. Look how much both sides lost their minds with a $2 increase.

      Don’t get me started.

      A while back I asked someone here why “Tax The Rich!” wasn’t enough to rally people. They explained, in infinite detail, that only after the people were educated in Marxist doctrine could true change occur.

        Yeah, seen a fair bit of that. Folks giving out homework assignments instead of engaging simply. And good luck if you largely agree with them but disagree on any bit of it.

          theory

          I detest when a niche group tries to use a general term to refer to their specific thing. Like being in “the industry” or “the community”.

          “You have to read up on theory

          And I’m a total believer in ideas that are complex enough that you need a book to understand them, to be clear. But that could never mean anything to the masses, firstly. And secondly, that’s still no need to get pretentious about it. Theory. Smdh

    If the US had allowed Chinese EV automobiles to be sold in the US market, would Musk’s fortune be smaller? He’s diversified now, so probably less risk to him at this point.

      No, you don’t understand how anything works. Tariffs are good when a centrist democrat uses them to protect a nazi’s business interests.
