    We’re reaching the end game of late stage capitalism where the government and the biggest companies on the planet come together to cement their positions of power.

    They will work together to ensure that neither one can be dethroned

      Eh, that’s what they’re trying to do, but that’s always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren’t reaching the end of anything, it’s just the next stage of the game.

        I still have my great grandfather’s torches and pitchforks in the family armory, so I’m ready for the next stage also.

          Very easy to turn pinetar into pitch and lots of pine trees out here. Just so you have proper torches is all. I’m one for the classics

        The damning class conflict has been raging for more than a century, and it’s getting worse and more complicated.

      I know you are probably joking.
