No offense.
More people have been arrested for sticking their hand in the reflecting pool.
Well one woman was. While all the men she worked for a free.
Skipping the well covered insane special treatment she defiantly gets she probably has a body double because extreme high value mossad asset. The she gets swapped out and can leave whenever theory isn’t tin foil it’s fairly resonable. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
Yeah, but she’s kind of in a luxury setting, given the options. And potentially in a safer place, considering the crimes.
She’s in club fed which means she can have a therapy animal…
Were not angry enough
We need guillotine levels of anger
Every time we post a meme, it let’s a little steam out. Unless we plug the holes, we will never be angry enough. By design.
Awareness and community are foundational parts of any movement. What’s important is organizing with those near by in real life, consistently holding events, and keeping up with fighting for change
And they never will be.
They ain’t gonna arrest themselves. That’d be silly.
That’s what I don’t get about people.
"All the rich and powerful were caught having sex with children! You mean like the people in charge of our criminal justice system? Yeah, like them! Wow, I hope they get arrested!"
It’s like expecting Trump to be the one to put a stop to all of his own shenanigans simply because that’s what the president is supposed to do. It only works if the people doing it and the people in charge of stopping it aren’t the same people, and aren’t friends.
Yeah, but if we vote for the people that will give justice, they might force free healthcare onto us. We can’t have that! And what about my guns! They have rights too!!!
The real irony is the fact they’re making so many people homeless, yet failing to realize everyone going after the rich will get a home and 3 meals a day in prison.
Justice was always a lie anon
The best we can hope for is some development of class consciousness as the public sees plainly the two-tiered justice system that ignores the extreme wrongdoings of the ownership class.
Then we can work towards a society in which there is a narrower gap between the wealthy and the impoverished, and there are mechanisms to keep anyone from amassing too much wealth or political power.
Until then, civilizations will rise, rot from within and collapse has they have historically, over and over and over again.

Jury nullification in ALL criminal trials, until the Epstein class is behind bars.
Shoplifters, drug dealers, even murderers and rapists. All should go free, all should get ‘not guilty’ verdicts, regardless of evidence.
Until the “justice” system applies to the rich and powerful, it shouldn’t apply to anyone.
I’d love to see it but we are struggling to get enough people organized to take any action. It would take a large percentage of organized jurors to hold the courts hostage that way.
If we could get 5% of the population to just plum stop paying taxes, by comparison, that would force the state to the negotiating table. 3.5% participating in a general strike would do it as well.
I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that any lasting change like that will not happen in my lifetime. This is all we have ever done, it is presumably all we will ever do, failing alien invasion or a mass extinction event. And while global warming is shaping up to be the latter, I doubt the wars over water and food will suddenly turn their attention to billionaires and do something about them; it will merely slowly escalate and get worse while they gaslight the majority that everything is business as usual, until one day we wake up and all these assholes have fled into their doomsday bunkers.

I have high hopes for a superintelligent AI takeover within our lifetime.
While perhaps not likely, there’s a real chance that the AI could be a benevolent and fair ruler. And, if nothing else, being better than our current (actively malicious) rulers really isn’t a very high bar to clear.
as long as we don’t end up with something like AM or a paperclip maximizer, an AI takeover could be okay, however given our luck so far I would not hold my breath for benevolent robot overlords.
Humanity actually successfully implemented a decentralized egalitarian socialist society without dictatorships in 1936 Spain, which bore out that it’s possible for us to achieve freedom for all while also ensuring everyone is able to live a fulfilling life by providing free housing, food, transportation and healthcare.
Some very specific outside circumstances caused it to be halted prematurely (namely, an unusual amount of industrialized fascist states and the USSR ganging up against it all at once, with very limited industrial capacity of their own to effectively fight back), but they documented how their society functioned while it existed quite well, and over 3 million people participated in it.
For most, is as difficult to imagine to an end to capitalism as it was for peasants to imagine an end to the divine right of kings, yet it did happen.
History shows us that we are capable of much better, and the global crisis we now face could very well be the catalyst that let’s us end capitalism forever.
Nothing will happen until people stop pretending violence is not a tool to be used. It is one the state uses against the working class, and it is one the working class has conceded under the delusion of voting away the owners in the system they own.
Nothing short of violent revolution will end this.
I think revolution can be accomplished without violence, at least until the ownership class resorts to violence to retain their wealth and power, at which point violence is thrust upon us.
As Nelson Mandela put it, A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle,and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a point, one can only fight fire with fire.
Although Elie Mystal noted if a Democratic triumvirate were to strip SCOTUS of jurisdiction (they can do that without a Constitutional amendment) then SCOTUS might declare that law unconstitutional (it’s not, but this SCOTUS doesn’t really care) and then we can have a situation where some states think the court’s rulings are legit, while others think they’re not, and states might be willing to go to war over it.

Easier and less ambiguous solution would be to expand the size of the court and appoint new justices (it has been done in the past). Add 5 more justices to the court, all hand-picked left-leaning nominees, and the fascist elements of the court could be indefinitely neutered without any legal ambiguity whatsoever.
Or just impeach and remove the problematic justices. Several of them already have plenty of evidence to support impeachment for corruption.
There are a number of ideas to help regulate the power of the court. Adding more members is a popular one, but that isn’t going to prevent Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society from conspiring to pack the court again with ideologues, partisans and corrupt crooks (looking at you, Clarence Thomas).
And impeaching and removing a justice is as difficult as impeaching and removing a president, which is to say, nearly impossible.
One option is to add a lot of new justices, like bringing the total to one hundred. A small number of them would bench a committee to choose the cases to be heard, and then for each individual case, six to nine of the pool would be tapped to hear it, the way that the other courts operate. That way it takes a lot more effort and resources for corporations and billionaires to bribe all the justices. It’s also a lot harder for organizations like the Federalist Society to dominate the court. (They’ll try, but it’ll be evident they are trying long before it creates an unbreakable veto on the rest of government.)
Currently, legal experts are looking at a multi-pronged approach, installing term limits (that will require a constitutional amendment), adding judges, and chartering a mandatory code of ethics enforced by congressional committee. I’m afraid that doing these three will not be enough, and it won’t fix the problem quickly enough.
We’re beyond mild reforms of the Supreme Court. We need to break it, and then create something else new in its place. And stripping it of its jurisdiction as the last court of appeals that decides constitutionality, will go far in that effort.
Well, that’s just the way it is when there are billionaires. As long as that’s the case, there can be no justice. That’s already evident in the very fact that society allows them to exist in the first place.
These people are responsible for the vast majority of humanity’s misery. One would think that should be more than clear by now.
Which ones? Cause there are so many people for so many offenses at this point .
Or do you mean all of them ?
Yes offense
:(
