Take back power anyway you can.

Tenant unions, worker unions, worker cooperatives, community land trusts, tool libraries.

Work towards owning your business and your home and your community WITH your coworkers and your neighborhood and your community.

We can overcome the tyrants if we work together. Federal elections are only one small piece of the puzzle and no one will save us but ourselves.

Reject consumerism, make things instead.

We have friends coming over, instead of ordering food from a mega corporation I am going to make pizza and potato wedges.

I do not like this. I would like it to stop please.

Then do something. Why does someone else need to rattle the cage for you to break free? Why are Americans, who masturbate to the 2nd amendment, so afraid of taking back their country? There's 350 million of you, trillions of guns, and merely a few hundred of them. Start turning the streets red.

Actually the top 1% in the US is ~600k per year. It's a lot of cash but not entirely outside the realm of possibility for some extremely senior software architect/manager combo at some VC startup, which is also within the lemmy target audience.

It also doesn't do anything to show the scale in the top 1%. There is more difference from the top and bottom of that single percentage than there is in the entire pizza and crumbs.

billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

I may be willing to accept other more straightforward methods.

That graph makes me sick

In my experience the difference in voting is really between the educated class and the uneducated class. Educated people are tend to be left wing. Uneducated people tend to be right wing. I'm pretty sure the data bears that out.

This is well studied in "capital and ideology". Over the last 40 years in usa, euorpe educated tend to vote left, wealth votes right, which is a switch from how it used to be.

However it seems like at least in usa there isn't that much difference between left and right when it comes to taxing wealth. Hence the steep rise in inequity since regan

Trickle down feudalism yeah.

Bringing angry MAGA folks to this conclusion would be a huge win for pretty much everyone.

We need blue collar union solidarity to come back, and bring with it safe reasonable high quality work on worthwhile things for our neighbors, compensated fairly.

Defunded education, 24-hour Fox "news" coverage, and literal armies of sock puppet accounts are what you're up against.

The billionaires have taken over social media so they can fabricate their own reality using millions of fake voices and thousands of hours of emotional response conditioning.

What's your plan to fight against that?

Getting MAGAts to even THINK is a huge endeavor.

TRUTH NUKE

Yes although it could be a whole family out in the cold for greater realism.
