    Is it not possible that the capitalist system we work under makes it very difficult for many people to protest, either through working them so hard that they have no energy, or no time, or makes it harder for them to get work or even keep their jobs to survive if they openly oppose the establishment, eg on social media?

    Are these oppressed people truly worse in your eyes than a crusty sock?

      Depends on who they voted for.
      Depends on their actions now.

      A worker got fired from Ford for having more courage than most. Hopefully gofundme will unblock all his donations.

      When was history ever easy? What exactly did you expect, to induce change by tweeting angrily? Is the difficulty more important than the lives being lost?

      Either way, not sure how that’s an answer to my comment. There are a thousand different ways to fight that aren’t simply sharing a perfectly rehearsed AOC rebuttal that is precisely long enough to make for a viral TikTok video designed by a PR team and then feeling like you’re different. You are not. Voting for a party is not the end of your civic duties, nor does it make you opposition if that’s the end of your actions.
