    Lots of, uh, interesting comments here. My 2-cents worth of advice:

    1. Be highly suspicious of arguments that are essentially punching down on workers, all Americans, common people being lazy, stupid, etc. It’s class warfare (always has been) and the enemy are the oligarchs, not your fellow working class people.

    2. Calls to violence this early are pathetic. The non-violent activism is working and it’s only just barely even started. Calls to violence are from meatheads with zero patience (and likely zero understanding of how horrible that outcome will be for everyone involved).

      The #2 will stay behind their keyboards when TSHTF and then smugly criticize whatever failures of the actions, peaceful or violent, of those who actually took the risk and effort.

      Plus on your number 2 point: a LOT of the meathead types are just keyboard warriors with testosterone hard-ons trying to act like mister badass like it’s a flex. The crew of ‘Oh I wish they would try this shit at my house’ and the like, as if they aren’t some dude that would get absolutely put in the ground in 4 seconds or become a free loot drop if shit did pop off.
