"Boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

That was a poem

From a simpler time

Boss makes a hundred

I don’t make jack

That’s why I riot

To seize the means back"

    We can’t even seize the memes back (from the megacorps of Twatter, Google, Facebook, Reddit, etc).

    Yet I’m hopeful there will come a time people will see the fossy light, the means working for the people and the better of society.

      And yet here we are, carving out our own little corner of the internet where profit doesn’t come first, and we share silly pictures and laugh together.

      Big picture may suck, but don’t forget to appreciate the small good in front of you ❤️

    Which means exactly are we seizing back?

    Because I already own my means of production… And in western countries, where 80%+ of population works in the services sector, it’s not a unique situation. A lawyer, an accountant, even a mechanic or electrician already own their means of production.

    We don’t live in the 1800s anymore…

      So you think revolution spontaneously combusts in to existence, without any previous spreading of ideas and reaching out to the disenfranchised, or that it only happens on the front lines?

      Yeah, I think I’ll pass on your confidently incorrect take lmfao
