When fast food companies can kill a min wage hike, airline execs unduly influence the CDC, Big Pharma keeps drug prices so high people die unnecessarily, & Big Chem, Ag & Oil can poison our food & land, we’re living in a system of corporate tyranny. Time for nonviolent overthrow.

I want more than anything a nonviolent overthrow. But I see no avenue to accomplish this. Those with all of the power will never peacefully cede any of that power.

All free markets. Protesteth much? Sell a book.
As if there wouldn't be a violent response from the top 1% and their minions -- it would be the first time in human history that the rich and powerful gave up their wealth and power without a fight.

You shouldn't be baffled at all. The first headline (see below) was from four days ago, the second one was from today. The @CDCgov 's latest announcement has NOTHING to do with protecting the people or public health and EVERYTHING to do with doing the bidding of corporations.

I'm cool with that, but we have to make sure that what follows is people-driven, not mega-profit driven. Sadly, the violent will be coming for us non-violent folks because they don't want to give up their power, control, looted riches, etc.

It is actually way past the time for this.

Time for non violence is over. Violence is the only avenue left. I suggest you trade in your roses for some ammo.
