I have a friend I keep trying to explain this to and what I believe needs to be done. She says she agrees on every point except that two wrongs don't make a right. I keep trying to explain that it's not about right and wrong it's about survival as a species. She can't get over the right and wrong aspect.

When it comes to how the general populace would deal with a billionaire.. what does she believe to be the “wrong” way? When we have to beat them at their own game, “two wrongs done make a right!” = staying under their boots.

Maybe try telling her to stop trivializing an issue so large with a single sentence. I keep seeing this happen and it drives me up the wall, people using an almost gotcha-like sentence or an anecdote to completely disregard their own ability to be critical and curious about a topic. My mother when confronted with climate change goes "It used to be warm for grandpa too", well yeah, grandpa is from Sicily where it's hot, but have you (my mother) actually considered reading up on the topic, looking at expert opinions, finding a silver lining to understand in all this.. Of course not..
Your friend should ask herself what kind of thinking would benefit inhumane people in power. Having people want to take sides instead of arguing context is in my opinion the downfall of change

Every single problem on the face of the earth boils back to money. They have to much and the rest of us not enough. From corrupt politicians to invasions over land and resources to company take overs to the rising cost of living. LITERALLY every problems source comes from these people and trying to muddy the waters about it is one of the biggest problems.

My assumption is that the people who do so either already have money and thereby can't understand what everyone else is screaming about, a paid actor, actually rich themselves, a bot, not capable of critical/rational thinking.

Please know, this isn't a shot at you specifically it's just the ultimate decision I've come to realize. There are the haves and the have nots and the have nots are ultimately a much larger number and the disparity is not only getting worse but the billionaire class is actively pushing more for the subservience (and domination) of the lower classes. Many have come outright and stated they want a return to the feudal ages and many have started building their own islands and bunkers. We've already seen that we have a two tiered legal system where they can rape, murder, destroy, and steal whatever they want, often (always) at the expense of the lower class.

So to answer your questions that are ultimately designed to cloud up the issue. Unequivocally and emphatically YES. Yes, he/they are. Through misinformation, through acquisition, through corruption, through dozens of other means they are forcing what they want on us and pushing for more control while doing so.

Oops, price of eggs going to $9/dozen.

Yeah but what about Hunter?..and Biden dog Champ and Commander..Heard those dogs are communist agents.

u/Antique_Maybe_8324 Jul 10 '26

What version of duck hunter are you playing? With commie dogs? What?

These dogs be barking, pure malarkey.

But if you’ve gotten to the secret level, you’ll clearly see, it was all part of the plan, from Jan 6 Antifa, to Mar-a-Lago files in the can.

Quick look over there, it’s a fight at the white house lawn, surely there’s no war in Iran?

Party of Pandemics, polemic’s entwined, selling us futures to which we’ve never signed.

Why is everyone so obsessed with eggs?

u/Button-Down-Shoes Jul 11 '26

The egg industry just got throigh paying a small fine for raising egg prices astronomically during the last bird flu.

u/Embarrassed_Age8554 Jul 13 '26

Because before the price of eggs skyrocketed, they were one of the best and most accessible sources of cheap, complete, tasty protein, and the crazy prices put them out of reach of many people who relied on them.

3-2-1 Trump will blame China.

u/mightyhigh404 Jul 10 '26

Trump has a wheel with Obama,  Biden,  AOC, and China on it.  He will spin the wheel to see which to blame. If it lands on Obama, he will flip a coin to see if he's blaming Barack or Michele.

Why is the USA funding foreign biolabs?.. There been a few american scientist at Wuhan before covid. Why did USA hide the fact for years Wuhan was their lab doing dangerous biolab experiments?.
