    We don’t need to give up comforts, we need governments to stop multi-billionairs from hording wealth and driving the economy stale

      We do need to give up comforts in that we’ll face jail time, we’ll lose our current housing, we’ll have to greatly decrease our standard of living, etc… if we’re to truly bring the revolution the comic is alluding to it’s going to hurt a lot.

      As another comment put it “we’re just whinging” and those in power know it.

      I don’t like it any more than the next good person, but all throughout history the only thing that brings true change is bloodshed. “We” as workers/non-owners have literally never in history had necessary changes happen that take money/power from the owning class without bloodshed.

      THEY make it so. When you remove the power from the ballot box the ammo box is the only place left to go.
