    This is from 1889. Literally nothing has changed. Go back 1000 years and it’s the same fucking shit. Even 3000 years ago in Egypt. It’s always rich vs everybody else just in different outfits.

      I’ve realized why this is the case.

      Nations are modern-day fiefdoms. If you’re not a member of the ruling class, then you’re not supposed to have any say in how a nation is run. Modern politics is a song and dance around serving the ruling class as much as possible while convincing workers it’s in their best interests.

      Class traitors need to be ostracized more often.

      I want another Teddy Roosevelt in office.

      Fuck man even after trust busting, those companies were then and still are stupid big and powerful and maddeningly enriching to the 1%

      At least we have shiny toys now built on the backs of global labor exploitation. That’s cool.
