    And the inescapable logic there means that unless people put their own credible threat of violence on the table, nothing will continue to ever change.

    You don’t play a rigged poker game, you play the uh, meta-game, around and above it, otherwise, you always lose.

    Capitalism does violence via complex bureaucracy, via obscuring and normalizing the system itself, by making it very complicated to try to draw some kind of moral line as to where responsibility for the acts of which actors in a system should lie.

    The reality is that the system itself is violence, and that you are guilty to the degree that you partake in and profit from it.
