      I think it has to be both.

      There are many times throughout the history of the United States where a community came together and became prosperous only to have everything taken away by people supported by the state through shit laws and/or law enforcement turning a blind eye. Look at Black Wall Street aka the Tulsa massacre.

      I get that corruption is prevalent and is difficult to clean out, but there was massive sea change after the 1930ā€™s crash that lead to the US having a massive, strong, and healthy middle class.

      I never said ā€œdonā€™t voteā€

      šŸ™„

      Never mind that itā€™s mostly the people who still believe in this puppet show that is ā€œdemocracyā€ who donā€™t do both, not those pointing out how pointless voting really is (and yet I still fucking vote, in case you decide to deliberately miss the fucking point again).
