What an absurd sweeping generalization of incredibly complex events and context.

Just say you’re another bootlicker and get on with your life. Please oh PLEASE don’t hurt those that exclusively exist to make our lives worse keep us poor dumb and sick!!!

You sayin the French were fools? Fuck off with your neat little bow on top of a simple little “just threaten them and they will play nice”, life isn’t that simple, that’s not how this works, the civil war and what we have now is incomparable. These billionaires are international and actually play as a united team against us poors.

But yeah just a drop of blood and Bezos gives up his fortune and union breaking and insane net worth and lives a subservient life after that. Yeah that sounds realistic

I see. I said, "that's just not going to happen."

Which expressed certainty in something that is uncertain. My bad. It might happen. Billionaires might throw themselves in front of the Orphan Crushing Machine when we open fire on that thing. My words were poorly chosen.

However, we still don't want to alienate people who believe in sparing life whenever possible. (Those are the people whose side we always want to be on.) And we also still don't want to align with people who believe in taking life even when it's unnecessary. (Those are the people whose side you never want to be on.)

Be mindful of the movement you are building. Be mindful of the allies you are choosing.
