This means I’m not ignoring them, just not even seeing them
That’s true, but there’s several problems with that: the social bubble of the people who serve in those military usually have some distance from the societal norm, violence and chaos makes the country susceptible to be picked off by special interests, and it basically means that at the end of the day their leaders have to be willing to relinquish power.
You just proved you haven’t, but you are going to stick to your stereotypes regardless of what I tell you. You are going to reply to this comment, but don’t expect a reply back.
From my understanding, the pedophilia was used as a means, not the ends. They wanted to be influential, and trying to get socially awkward scientific leaders who probably didn’t have great relationships with the opposite sex was probably particularly effective.
They tried to create an exclusive “social elite” men’s club, using prostitution and pedophilia as their tools, and sure it’s an example of misogyny and power imbalance, but frankly, I still wouldn’t respect them if we flipped around the genders or evened them out. Science doesn’t have an Epstein problem, it has a misogyny and power imbalance problem.
Maybe it also has a pedophilia and prostitution problem, but the article doesn’t really explore that, it’s just guilt by association. Which, fair enough, it’s Epstein, but I doubt being as manipulative as they were that they tried to sell themselves the same to everybody.
You fail to understand the difference between correlation and causation. That they have wealth and power is different from how it is used. Having said that, yeah, my definition is sort of different because I also consider the social bubble aspect that they live in (hence my Trump comment).
Let me ask you, what happens when your revolution is successful, and it is you that has wealth and power. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination, the CCP is sort of this.
It all depends on the definition of class, and it is such an arbitrary one. What I meant was that if your definition is arbitrary enough, it tends to include a lot of false positives. There are a number of rich people who have said that they should be taxed more and have not shown any indication of contradicting themselves, for example.

Even just from a practical point of view, this sounds like a horrible idea. The pilot is about the one thing you should not skimp on.
They aren’t using “class”, there is no such thing as “class”, Trump is the biggest example of it - he has none, it’s just a big scam to him. They are using wealth and power, but correlation does not imply causation, no matter how big that correlation may be.
Just seems to me you are redefining the middle class into the working class and are focusing on making the distinction be based on belonging to some arbitrary class. I don’t even think the psychopaths we are referring to really care about belonging to anything if they can get ahead.
You can mobilize people, but if you are excluding people that could be included or trying to address what’s actually an arbitrary definition, don’t forget, there are psychopaths interested in taking you for a ride.
It’s psychopaths succeeding for being psychopaths and not because they involve in some arbitrary concept of a class.
The meme is literally about people are traditionally labelled different classes fighting against themselves.
So grass routes mobilisation/organisation seems required at this point, otherwise, the status quo continues on.
And if successful, then becomes the system, including the legal system, and then the same flaws appear. The revolutions that have been most successful kept in mind the laws and legislation that needed to be changed or enforced. Otherwise, it’s just regime change insert number here.
That’s another problem, people are not the borg, and they also need to survive. It’s part of the reason authoritarian governments tend to play different regions and subcultures against each other.
Unfortunately that’s pretty much the fate of any attempt at revolution nowadays, the gap between how many a soldier can kill versus one civilian can kill is just too high. In the US where people have more rights and were more free to coordinate, it hasn’t mattered how much ICE was outnumbered.
What an asshole.
Some people want a class war because it’s an easy excuse and par for the course for a lot of the ideologies that have seeded Lemmy. Colonialism and neocolonialism have always relied on class wars to keep people fighting against each other, and unfortunately to some extent this can never be fixed because some people fall into that trap so easily.
Focusing on those entities that have excessive wealth and actively spend it to lobby against our interests while paying only for a fraction what we pay for our share can be handled through laws and legislation, no class warfare needed.
The Home Office’s failure to inform asylum applicants that AI tools are being used in their assessments is likely to be unlawful, according to a legal opinion, published today.
Not nearly as positive.
I naturally assume there’s a distinct lack of humanity and a willingness to act like a psychopath with them.
All devs should be doing something like this. From what you are describing, you are basically dealing with cylon accounts waiting to get activated.
