20. "That is not what we do in a civilized society."

Tue Dec 10, 2024, 07:51 PM

Tuesday

Nope. In a civilized society, one rigs everything so that only those who worship the powerful can survive. Not thrive, just survive. They may think they are thriving, but they have no clue just how little they are being rewarded for making a few people obscenely rich. Then, those who the establishment does not like will just wither away and die in poverty and sickness. Slowly. Painfully.

But, we don't use violence to address political differences.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
