I point out that the only clear solution is anti-capitalist revolution because I am 100% sure the machine will respond to your attempts to dismantle it with lethal force and I think anyone who doesn't believe that hasn't been paying attention to the last I dunno, 30 some odd years of Pig Empire history.

It's not that I have a fetish for violent resistance, what I'm telling you is that when you exercise your "constitutionally protecting rights" to protest, boycott, render the machine unprofitable, and to stop rich ppl from killing you, they're gonna start shooting.
Because they're gonna start shooting.
Factually however, right now we're not even giving them a reason to care. So unless we wanna die for rich people, SOME degree of resistance is in order. RN it's not happening. Hence my vexation.
The fact is the profit motive is the soft underbelly of this whole fascist fuckbarrel. All the violence, all the oppression, all the fascism have their roots in profit. If they can't make money from it, this whole thing falls apart.
So long before we talk about storming the Winter Palace, there's gonna need to be a society wide attempt to render this fascism machine NOT PROFITABLE; and right now I don't see it.
I'm not saying anything folks in the 60's were not saying, doing, and living here.
The key difference at this point is that we know there's a time limit and what the stakes are; literally billions of people are gonna die on a boiling planet. And that's heavy, but it's also why you don't just get to score some moral victories and leave it for the children of the next generation to fix.
There are like 8B+ people on this earth who aren't nazi billionaires and a few thousand who are. This is a winnable fight. And we don't have much of a choice because again "planet is on fire."
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

"coal burning became widespread enough to inspire laws against its use due to the smoke and pollution burning it produced. Nonetheless the market for coal continued to grow as it preserved the limited timber growth. The hungry market required a solution to a problem that challenged the British mining industry. This solution was Thomas Newcomen’s 1712 invention of a simple single-piston pump, the first machine to successfully direct steam to produce work."
300 fucking years.
Lo and behold - even the wrecking of our planet was included *right* from the start. Not that a lot changed in the transition from Feudalism, mind you, but those bastards didn't just step out of our way either and they still continue to annoy and exploit us to date - *despite* the gallows back then, making sure we can only elect "our" kings in the process, but not do away with rulers altogether.
Progress? What *really* changed, again? Electing "our" Lords? Great! 🤡 🥳
