Is Bill gates after more money or more Power? How about Trump or Biden? Elon Musk?
How much caviar and Champaign can one man consume? It seems like they already have a surplus of money, and I think maybe they are into something more self gratifying, if not likened to a deity. It leaves a trail of blood and money, and people who like those things, for sure, but I donāt think itās the goal.
Iām sure itās not my well being and prosperity, whatever it is they are after (money theyāve already caught), and I donāt think voting them out through ādemocracyā is even on the table.
To me, all the western leadership appears to be singularly tangled-up together in the same agenda (theirs not ours), and itās not like any one of them will allow the dissent of the others to change course, not even at the protests of itās people.
but all protests turns into stupidity though cause of stupid people that thinks smashing stuff and ect will get people to listen but honestly being professional during a protest will probably be heard and taken more seriously
Martin Luther King Jr. thought the same thing. So have others, and I canāt say they werenāt intelligent, talented, or dedicated people. Maybe one day they will be right.
You generally donāt find that type of motivation in people unless personal convictions and idealisms are involved.

Zealots often do rise to the top. I think days like these can help those types gain popularity. I think itās a creepy era to be alive in.

Once you get into the billionaire class, you are living in a fundamentally different reality. More power and wealth than Kings used to have.
What do they want? Well, some of them are telling us what they want on a regular basis, if you pay attention.
Thatās not totally accurate. White Americans have a very sanitized idea of what MLK was about, and mistakenly think he aligned with moderates.
He was actually a proponent of civil disobedience.
This Wikipedia entry gives some context:
Polite protest has a very low success rate, unfortunately.
I canāt put much space between that term, and āpolite protest.ā
I have little faith in either. I think the state just yells over us, or will beat your ass, unless you are prepared to go further than civil disobedience. They use violence to control us routinely, and violence is the only thing people seem to have to defend themselves with, as move civilized methods fail, which they are, and have.

Thatās a very good observation.
When the people are denied peaceful ways of pursuing positive change, it makes violence a more appealing option.
Also, typically police attack protests first, which then turn violent in response, which is then used to justify more violence against the people by the state.
I would like to say while conventional protest might not be as effective as protesters hope, Iām not convinced political violence achieves much either, unless your goal is more violence.
I mean various terrorist actions have definitely had their intended effect, but the intention is generally to provoke your opponent into lashing out brutally, in order to reveal how monstrous they are. But then you just have two monsters, and lots of bodies.
Civil disobedience is different from what I would call polite protest. Polite protest tries to not inconvenience anyone too much, and to follow all the laws and cooperate with police. It rarely has any effect, even in large numbers. Civil disobedience is being willing to both inconvenience people and to break laws (especially unjust ones). Itās not popular with the general public, but there is a strong argument that it helps shift the dialog and redefine the centre.

Ya, at the end of the day the police and the military work for them.
I think there have been a few instances where government entities use violence vicariously through civilian organizations as well, either to achieve their goals directly or to give themselves precedence to intervene on behalf of the victim, thereby controlling both sides of an issue, driving it wherever they like.
The KKK, here in the US, is probably the most pronounced example of that.
My guess is that they play black activism in the very same way.
I know Iāve never found a bottom or boundary to their evilā¦thatās part of why I like this video game to be as immersive as I can get it. Itās hard to digest the things they are doing and have done, and I live here like patient zero in the USA, wondering when we finally go into septic shockā¦so thank for the Ravagers, devs.
Thatās the safest political dialog Iāve ever had on this forum. Iām gonna cash out,
