    They’re afraid of having their wealth seized and socialized. And they absolutely should be. It is the only way to fix this. Accept no substitute. These billionaires may believe themselves to effectively be kings, and the cannon may be the last argument of kings, but the guillotine is likewise the last argument of the oppressed, so I recommend these would-be kings consider backing down well before we truly escalate to that point.

    We’ve already made our latest move, and it’s very clearly colored blue, and that should tell these capitalist pigs something about the message people are sending about the direction they have been going. Whether they choose to heed the warning or not is their choice. They can pretend they’re going to be woke leftist democrats now and maybe that’s a step in the right direction. At least it would be if it were believable, but I don’t believe them, so they’d better start acting on it pretty substantively if they want to have any hope of convincing anyone. But that would require giving money and supporting social causes and stopping their relentless exploitation of people and the planet and I don’t think they’re ready to give in to those kind of woke leftist agendas, so are these guys going to trust that people simply have short memories and will forgive and forget what they’ve done and move on without a hitch so they can continue doing it, or do they have some plan to try to make that happen? I guess we’ll see, won’t we? It’s your move now, oligarchs. Where are we headed next?
