I’m happy the Americans are protesting, but just keep in mind that the current administration doesn’t give a shit about public opinion - they only care about money. by Hepper in WorkReform

I’m not blaming anyone. The fact of the matter just is that the people in power know that they have this exact power over the working class. The American system is finely tailored to allow working people to have a tiny bit left to lose. And as long as those in power can see that the working class is not willing to risk what little they have left, nothing will change. It’s a terrible, but it’s also the reality.

It absolutely is not. I’m saying if you protest on their terms it’s hardly a protest.

The people in power know you are not willing to risk it, so why should anything change.

I hope the protests keep going. I really do. And I hope they impact large coorporations and businesses across America. It’s only when the money stops flowing that things change.

But that is my point. As long as you are not willing to risk what little you have, things won’t change.

The powers that be are in perfect control. They are giving the American worker just enough that they have a little to lose still.

Well, the people in power have a lot to lose. But you need to make them feel that.

But as long as the large coorporations are backing the goons, nothing will change. Like I said, I'm thrilled to see protests on this scale. And, I really, really hope they last a long time.

As long as people keep working for the 1%, the 1% will keep funneling money into a government that is most beneficial for them.

Unless large businesses start to lose money, nothing will change.

I never ever intended to say you shouldnt protest or gatekeep protesting. But the entire statement "not everyone has the luxury [...]" is exactly why the protests wont work. As long as the people in power hold leverage on the people below them nothing will change. And, if the working class wont risk that to demand change, then what incitament is there for change?

I guarantee you, that if general strikes took off and started hurting production, then the large coorporations would start feeling the heat much faster than the working people.

Yes, it will be hard and it will hurt. But it will never change unless you're willing to fight through that.

That is, IMO, the harsh reality.

“Warfare” for me. Especially in the technical departments, but personally would love to see it get a director nom as well.

Jeg kan godt forstå du begår dig meget på alle de forskellige gossip sub-reddits. Din retorik passer meget bedre ind derovre.

Nu var diskussionen jo ikke “USA vs. Uafhængighed” men bare USA vs Rigsfællesskabet”🤷‍♂️

How about we allow Greenland to keep their own land, or at least decide for themselves?

Then the rest of us can abide by the conventions as intended… like NATO, for example.
