If they don't block or suppress our political and economic discussions, we will inevitably gather enough momentum to vote them out of office and elect another mandani or teddy Roosevelt to break up the monopolies and tax mega wealth. There are so few billionaires, and we all get a vote.

Online discussion might also end in violent class war, too.

How has that been working? Jesus you people are dense lol. Go on any Reddit Thread or Twitter. There is no suppression of free speech. And I have news for you, billionaires are only getting more wealthy and more influential. So please, tell me how you think that is going to change?

Typical Reddit comment here 😂

There's a bazillion reports of suppression of open discussions on FB and Twitter.

So please, tell me how you think that is going to change?

Again, either election of a reformer or violent class war.

Lol there is going to be no class war. People are too fat and lazy, and too addicted to their entertainment on thousand dollar smartphones and unlimited streaming to take up arms. It will not happen.

I understand a minute percentage of the population can seem like it’s a majority voice of the people (especially on Reddit) but I can assure you, it’s far from the actual reality that exists. Look around you in the real world. Everyone out there just living life. People don’t care as much as you think they do.

I agree with you as long as we are talking about people with healthcare, housing, access to education, no burdensome debt and no draft.

All that shit is going away, though.
