The big question imo is - revolt how? The peaceful revolution of trying to reform existing institutions from within has failed. Combative revolutions usually end up badly. We need a new strategy.
1) $738B defense authorization this year. 2) 2017 $2T tax cut w/ $.83 of every $ going to the richest corporations & people. 3) $500B Covid bailout already to the same corporations who got the money in 1 and 2. Ready for the political revolution yet?

Given how few have voted, we can’t really say the peaceful political revolution has failed. We haven’t really waged it yet.

I only let myself go there for an hour a day, maybe two. Anything else and you start to spiral down. It takes a lot of emotional discipline to get through all this, doesn’t it? Truth be told, it’s going to make us much stronger people.

Well to be fair that $738 billion keeps almost 3 million Americans, almost 1% of our population, directly employed. Add millions more who work for defense manufacturers, logistics/maintenance contractors, private security companies and local allies.

We spend $.54 of every $ on defense related investments, but it’s been proven we’d get more from investments in education & infrastructure. Transition from war economy to peace economy would create more jobs, not fewer. And corp bailouts did not include requirement to pay workers
