    Thats exactly how I feel “Its sad that this is looking like the solution”

    Like, it had to come to this? You couldnt just set up your little racket and keep the golden goose fat and happy? Or atleast adequately provided for and left alone?

      Yeah at this point I’m like “political action? Yeah we tried that. You said no to that. Wealth and power, like everything else, will always seek equilibrium. You’re the ones who decided it was going to be by guillotine.” I just got certified to teach violence deescalation classes after taking those same classes for years working in mental health. There’s one quote in particular that I’ve heard throughout multiple classes through multiple certifying agencies over that decade of working; “Violence is the language of the unheard” -MLK (you know, the “nonviolent protest” guy).
