We are told that the last time widespread protests yielded positive results, we achieved a perfectly just society, and to protest any more is going too far.

Even if we did achieve a perfectly just society, they've spent decades eroding worker's rights and exploiting us.

Also the protests are watered down. Rosa Parks just had a rough day and was too tired to stand up? No, she was educated in political issues and involved in organizing and did what she did very deliberately. She never held a speech because of patriarchal structures within the civil rights movement.

TL;DR Everyone knows MLK had a dream but no one know what it was.

They only call it "class warfare" when poor people fight back.

A rich man who's actually talented should have no problem with higher taxes, because everyone will be better off, and he has faith in his ability to earn it back.

When the poor create an angry mob and kill the rich, it's called justice

When the poor take on the rich it's called a revolution and I think we need one right now.
