I too am happy that the vast majority of people at the event were just pedestrians walking by without acknowledging them. Can you imagine if these types of people were mainstream?

Decent people are getting pushed too far- they are going more mainstream with each insult, financial hit, and knowledge of the two-tiered justice system.

I’ve been saying it for years, if the Rich are not held accountable, the only option is vigilante justice. Unfortunately, it will have a lot of by-catch. But it’s not the general population‘s fault that it will come to this. It is people with money and power.

You’re all over this thread, deepthroating the proverbial boot. Keep it up, but just know that no matter how much you lick and love that little foot glove, it won’t love you back.
Luigi is more popular than Congress right now.
He’s done more to fix our shit situation than they have. Fucking worthless cunts.

I mean, congress negotiated insulin priced down by over 90% average, so you’re wrong actually.

The systems still fucked, but it’s a bit early to start erasing all the good things from the DNC majority and Biden Admin.

Yeah but that’s over. Everything done can be undone.
I expect enough turmoil within the republican party to make 2026 a viable turnover. Right now they can’t even agree on who their speaker should be and are heading straight into government shutdown.
Don’t forget that these people exist because of the propaganda that they take in. They buy into it. They’re not yet aware that it’s a class war, not a culture war.

Man that’s 1 issue in a sea of healthcare problems, I’m extremely glad that insulin was capped because that shit was insane but it’s a pyrrhic victory in the scope of things.

It’s like if I was to plug a deep wound I was bleeding out from with my finger. Yes it stops me from dying in the moment and that is cause for some celebration, but I’m still dying just not as quickly.

What have you done recently ? (Just asking, not in a condecsending way)
Yeah, but that’s not hard. I think the approval rating of some strands of herpes is higher than congress.
That’s like the lowest bar imaginable
I’m more popular that Congress.
I suspect private security company stocks are about to go way up.
Their CEOs might want to keep a low profile.
It’s Italian plumbers and CEO goombas all the way down
I would like a Tiktok account of videos of terrified CEOs sprinting to their vehicles with a bored looking security guard trailing behind them.
I've stated previously that my next career move would be into security because there isn't a single American who wouldn't step out of the way at the first available opportunity and they fucking know it, so foreign security is the only real option ... and I don't need to tell them it isn't any better just because they didn't personally screw us.

bruh. You think any assassin is going to wait for you to “step out of the way”?

If so you are a fucking dumbass.

I can’t stand people that communicate like you.
That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
We need a linguist here.
Not a lot of people are willing to put themselves between a CEO and a mass riot for $14/hr.
Lol where have you been? People doing monumentally stupid, dangerous and violent things for insultingly small sums of money for rich assholes is kind of our thing. If you offer silver for violence there will always be takers.
Disagree. People do things for profit to a point. As a veteran who’s done security work, soldiers and veterans start because of a faith in doing the right thing. Security work doesn’t have that ideology. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather go home to my family over fighting off 500 people angry about their lives. It’s an entirely different motivation, with entirely different standards to be covered. Money doesn’t buy values or standards. And when you buy security, that security can be bought. Nobody is untouchable.
People fight for dictators against their fellow citizens
Because the dictator will kill them if they don’t.

I found video.

The sign in the back “money won’t save you everybody hates you” sounds like a nursery rhyme. I like it.

“FREE LUIGI!” Anti-CEO Protest outside Yale CEO Event at Ziegfeld Ballroom in NYC

YouTube
That’s a protest chant

money won't save you
everybody hates you

🎵you’ll be food for worms🎶

This was exactly where my brain went!
You should not have come here, Stalker
I love that the cameraman pans over to all the CEOs wearing the same suit, staring at the protestors
That one CEO filming, thinking of the hazard pay bonus he can give himself now.
What is the opposite of “don’t open dead inside”? This works both ways.
Yeah, so weird they would be selling these stickers that could be put really anywhere. Absolutely disgusting if someone purchased hundreds of these and started just sticking them everywhere. makestickers.com/…/24120721P6VV-pij1gytwuonpuv2ib…

Check out my sticker design I made at MakeStickers

this is the lesson that children need to learn for a better future
Consumerism and politcal tribalism for unrealistic platforms?
Can you explain to me in a non condescending way what this comment means? Like genuinely I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say here. A person on the internet posts a link to a website to buy a silly sticker and that is somehow political tribalism? Consumerism is somewhat arguably understandable, considering you have to be a consumer to make a purchase. Although you could always just steal the design and print your own. What makes the post political tribalism though? Is there some sort of echo chamber in the fact that 99.99% of the American population would rather see exploitative CEOs die rather than their own children? Is that an unrealistic platform? What details am I missing here?
Oh god, I thought gas station clerks were finished cleaning dumbass’ stickers off and now you assholes are here just in time.
My goodness! There must be a dozen of them! lol

Do you gargle dong as eagerly as boot?
Coming soon to a terrorism charge near you!
Be the change you want to see in the world

Class warfare in all it’s glory, going from the cold war phase to a more active phase.

Sure, there were warnings. Remember Occupy Wall Street? Peaceful protest forcibly removed? Well, they’re back and less peaceful.

Yes, but this seems to be the working class vs the bourgeoisie. The way it was meant to be.
Let me cash out my 401k first

The way it was meant to be.

The way the schools, run by the wealthiest, taught you it should be to preserve the status quo and established wealth.

What school did you go to that taught you anything about class war?

I think you might be making an interesting point but I can’t tell

In Europe, I guess. History books there are full of “and then the people got angry so they banished/killed/robbed/demolished the ruler/nobility/clergy”.
Did you mean “shouldn’t”?
