  1. There comes a time when we all have to agree to murder the wealthy.

  2.  @ChrisCaldwell  We have things to protect us. They're called laws. Unfortunately we're no longer protected from being exploited or even murdered by billionaires since the laws are now written by the wealthy. The movie Robocop may as well have been a true story. Corporate power has gotten out of control. Only the dummies can't see it.

  7. It's funny how those who blindly praise capitalism are usually ones who know the least about how it works.

  8. You're gonna have start a civil war and kill everybody who disagrees with you to accomplish that. Your exploiters won't just hand you your reforms.

  9. People who say violence never solved anything have never heard of the French Revolution.

  11. This is why I support separatists. Including the ones considered extremists. I support Scottish Nationalism and Hawaiian Nationalism.

  12.  @thorpeaaron1110  To me it's more about annoying the powerful and giving them headaches than making things happen. I just like to cause problems.

  13.  @thorpeaaron1110  Kind of. If you can annoy the people in power, that sort of gives you power over them. The key is to find ways to do it covertly since the powerful types tend to be vengeful and seek retribution. It's like of like being a kid in a zoo poking the monkey in the cage and knowing it can't rip your face off in its cage. It's just too fun to resist!

  14.  @thorpeaaron1110  I also have no respect for imperialism and consider those who do to be pathetic sychophants.

  15. Sounds like America, where the billionaires with all the money and power are rarely criticized.

  16. I don't know. War and Peace doesn't have the monsters and the violence that makes The Odyssey exciting. It's kind of a boring read, isn't it?

  17. They don't want to teach this in schools. It makes America look bad and breeds distrust in our country.

  18. They did a genetic study that showed that both Jews and Palestinians have genes dating back to ancient Canaan. These are brothers but they're killing each other over religious differences. It's tragic.

  19. Samuele Bincoletto Which George Bush??? In my lifetime there have been 2 Bushes. George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

  20. We were never taught this in school. I wonder why.

  21. Yup. If you look at which states want to rewrite history books you'll notice they are all red states. Texas is probably the worst offender.

  22.  @honkhonk8009  Those channels are just a bunch of privileged rich folks telling us what to believe. Every single host and political pundit is overpaid. I consider political pundits to be unskilled workers since they aren't experts in anything. I'm itching for an opportunity to say that to their face if I ever meet one.

  23. "Me not Chinese. Me no care." I say in an ironic Chinese accent.

  24. Why did they become explorers? Exploring is boring.

  25. I make bad first impressions, so NO! LOL.

  26.  @geralferald  Yeah things were pretty good for the poor before George W. Bush and the Great Recession. The good days are gone now. Now here in the 21st century, the smart poor people read and admire Karl Marx and the ones who don't like to read books above a 6th or 7th grade reading level or have deep conversations join the far right wing extremists and attack the Capitol. The poor are so much worse off nowadays that they've become extremists. It's a sight to behold!!!!

  27. "To make white people look bad." 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  28. If you have a mortal enemy, release a swarm of these insects while wearing a bee suit so that your enemy gets stung and you don't.

  29. You can control wealth inequality if you have a resentful ruler from a background of growing up in abject poverty who thinks the rich should be severely punished for being top greedy. I think Stalin and Mao held this view. It's kind of amazing how Stalin simply killed the rich.

  30.  @quinson93  Hmm... The only failure I see is an inability to answer your question. 😆
