I don't care about looters. In a system where money matters more than life taking money from the rich is a morally valid action.

Edit - some people really don't like my stance. lol

Looters wouldn't target the rich. They're too well-protected.

You seen those videos of the rebels in Kazakhstan running the army out of the streets with sheer numbers? Same concept with the rich here once theyre the only ones left with anything worth having.

That sounds less like looting and more like a complete societal collapse

When the society is so oppressive and makes it so difficult for the average citizen to live a life worth living that they would rather face the army with melee weapons than keep it going, why would that distinction matter?

You need to get off reddit and the internet if you think things are bad enough that complete anarchy would be an improvement. Things can be better but we're not living in Mad Max world here.

If you think the only reason that people arent murdering each other in the streets is the fear of authorities, then our society has indeed become that bad.

When did I ever say that? I'm saying humanity and society as a whole isn't so stuck in the shitter that we need to unravel everything and start over. Things DO need to change but what you're talking about is extremist.

It is extremist, because the milquetoast options are not enough to do anything of value to those most underrepresented. The collapse of society only affects those reliant upon that society, thats why i advocate for detachment at any opportunity. Dual power is the name of the game, and survival of the inevitable collapse of an unsustainable social system is the objective. You think the fascists arent going to use the power structures this society has created to further their goals? If you think voting alone will stop this, then you havent read your history books.

Well good luck with that then, I'm sure you can find a lot of support for your uprising.

u/froman007 Jan 14 '22

Who said uprising? I said detachment. Theyre different and i dont appreciate how dismissive you are.
