I believe the proper nomenclature is lobbied. Therefore it's legal and okay. Definitely not just another word for bribery and corruption, no no no.

Don't look inside that brown envelope under the table!

I mean, gotta start somewhere. I too would like to see more direct action in play but we’re trying to motivate nations here, tens or hundreds of millions of people.

Take no kings, I get that it’s been toothless, but it built a large following and the next one is calling for action. It probably won’t work, probably won’t be enough, but it will build momentum, and the next gets more, the next more still. This is obviously US focused (I’m American but this shit has gone global).

It took them a very long time to infiltrate the governments, this has been going on for decades. We won’t be able to solve it in a weekend. It’s going to take time and hard work to fix this shit.

Now is good

I mean some people have started see Luigi, warehouse guy, guy who threw moltov at Sam Altmans house, guy shooting at politicians home for voting in favor of an AI datacenter in their town, and I am sure there are more that I am unaware of too.

When the economy collapses again and, instead of working two or more jobs, people have zero jobs.

It's not an illegal bribe, if we legalise it and call it lobbying. *taps head

But why do individual politicians or groups have the power to get these things through? Is it not subjected to a majority vote or something?
