    No one with any power, no one from the right families is coming to help their capital livestock.

    That’s an interesting sentence right there. What does that even mean, the “right” families? Are you seriously expecting the people who created the problem to now help solve it?

    This exploitation machine is exactly what they wanted and spent decades lining pockets to achieve.

    No, of course you aren’t. But by God, let’s also not ask for help from the “wrong” families…

      I meant internally right. Goes to the right country clubs. Is on the right museum boards. Is in the little owner’s club that starts with having a 9 figure net worth at absolute minimum.

      That’s what I meant by “right” it was a mocking term for the self-protecting, self-elevating wealth class made up of a few thousand of the right families that lord over all of us and believe they are where ultimate authority belongs, and have used their great wealth to secure generationally. This is their system, by their design, and they will continue to use their vast power to defend it.

        Ah yes, if only one of those country club going billionaires would decide to use their power to try and come help us…

        Yeah, I think I’m just gonna let you stew and simmer on that one.

          I’ve belabored the point that they won’t, have no reason to, literally created such conditions to begin with, and actively defend against any change to it.

          Do you have some sort of a point? If so speak it.

            I do, but if I said it outright I would just be accused of a lack of empathy and intelligence, plus a whole lot of other things far worse than that, so I won’t.

            So if you didn’t get my broad hint, I’m not going to be upset, and if you do, like I said, perhaps take my advice to stew and simmer over it before posting a response in affect.

              I don’t think you understood what they were saying, and I don’t think we understand what you’re saying. You could help by explaining.

                    Yeah, like I said, I can live with that. If it’s important, I’m sure it’ll come up again. If not, well, then it wasn’t important.

                  That’s okay, I can live with that.

                  Kind of selfish of you though to waste everyone’s time trying to interpret your secret messages.

                  Plus you shouldn’t be afraid, you should speak out, that’s what we’re supposed to be having here, conversations.

                    I’ve already been banned from an entire server simply because my username apparently contains a secret message of bigotry and hatred, so I hope you’ll excuse if I’m gonna try to keep it civil and friendly and try not to rustle too many jimmies during my time here.

              You’ve already clearly demonstrated a significant lack of intelligence, might as well be out with it and say what you want to say.
