You keep them through the exact same means we gained them with.

Said everyone, not knowing how. What I mean is my own and surrounding generations have no experience with anything but peace time and privilege. Have zero cultural framework in organizing like that. I've only really experienced slow decline, rarely things getting better.

I think it's the same in USA when it comes to opposing Trump.

I know how they were gained. It was through violence. And through violence is how you retain them.

Until the Unions do what they used to do, which was literally dragging bosses out of their homes and beating them to death, nothing will change for the better.

People erroneously believe that talking to CEOs and the Ultra Wealthy will get them what they want. But those people operate near solely on violence. They do no give a single solitary fuck about our words. They do care about their own safety.
