Every time we want to change society to benefit average people, we have to deal with ultrawealthy crybabies. We’re held hostage by those who already have it all. It doesn’t have to be like this.

      John Brown wasn’t poor and in the end, he didn’t accomplish anything as he was executed.

          You’re right. I was thinking of the abolitionist John Brown’s rebellion.

          And as for Blair Mountain? Spoilers. Poor white descendants routinely spit on their graves by supporting conservatives.

          Stop gaslighting about their usefulness. Poor whites, like poor anyone these days will fall for anything and cripple everything.
