Did peaceful protest and peaceful organizing stop fascism last time in your country? And you say I live in a fantasy, while spitting on the millions who died to prevent a fascist (from your country no less) by saying that "peaceful protest/organizing" is somehow less fantastical solution to that problem. Have you no shame, or humility for history, let alone your own country?

Did anyone protest when Philadelphia police dropped bombs on their own city in 1985 to kill black people? Didn't think so.

Everyone seems to forget offshore tax havens, or as I like to call it, 'The Well of Souls'. (£36 TRILLION as of 2016)

Whatever it takes, and peaceful solutions have proven ineffective for decades.

Change needs to be cultural. So long as we live in our current cultural distinctions of "mine and thine" instead of some sort of collaborative being then this will keep on happening.

To somewhat even out the wealth gap I think higher taxes on the wealthy and more rights for unions is pretty much all that is needed.

I'm sure if we asked the billionaires and their paid-for politicians nicely, they'll start writing and enforcing laws that'll tax them more and give more rights to unions.

Hard /s

What's wrong with being a hermit?

we don’t really… do consequences for the rich.

We used to. That's why it didn't used to be like this.
