If one person loots a store and gets away with thousands of stolen dollars, we call it theft; but if a lot of people wearing pinstripe suits loot the public treasury and get away with billions of stolen dollars, we call it economics. Strange psychological sleight of hand.

And a funny thing is that government is against people gathering in order to celebrate a Thanksgiving, but they are completely okay with people gathering to loot a store! Democrats have stolen our democracy from us... 😭

Oversimplification tho bc the ones in the suits are the oppressors. The other, the oppressed. It’s not about who steals more, but who takes from whom. it’s about power. Start there.
