    I’m already sold on the concept, you don’t need to advertise it even more, Pam!

    Well if our system of paedophiles leading the country is going to be upended…

    Hey, here’s an idea: Lets not participate in a system that is led by paedophiles. Let us, in fact, burn it to the ground with all the paedophiles still inside.

      General Strike. International. We can start out smaller and part time, work up to big ones, the more the government gets rough trying to force us back, the more and longer we walk off jobs and stay off of them until demands are met.

      Create Unions of Unions that cover everyone, regardless of where they work, to bargain. Leaderless perhaps. We have leaders but they aren’t even known whom they are. Leaders by virtue of their own character, for the unions, to prevent persecution. Maybe just spitballing on that part.

      The general strike, spread worldwide, to China, to SE Asia, to Europe. We could take some real power back from these leaders using technology to prostrate us before them and fix elections.

        Cool idea, but no practical way to implement it within the current system.

        They would basically just starve us until we had no choice but to give in, or we just die.

          Let them list lists of general strikers, I will be one of all. We are already on lists just by virtue of being discontent. Computer memory is so cheap and vast they collect everything we’ve said or done, and use computer programs to make half baked determinations about you from it. But there is no escaping it, and it’s coming for everyone anyway. We sill soon have social scores courtesy of the anti christ thiel himself, distributed to be used against us ALL secretely in ways we will never be told about or able to challenge. To pick winners and losers, decide jobs, government treatment, prices you are charged, search results you are shown, how companies treat you, whether you get that loan. All while they work to eliminate your jobs entirely to replace them with computers.

          There is no other option but to go on strike, their plans are well along, and will lead us to ruin.

    If prosecuting everyone in the files causes the collapse of the system, that kinda implies the system is bad and needs collapse.

    If the “system” is so deeply and widelly riddled with pedophiles that prosecuting every one in just the found files of just a single criminal pedophile ring would “collapse the system” then the “system” is nothing more than a criminal enterprise which deserves to be collapsed.

    The thing is: it would not collapse.

    These billionaires and big CEOs think they hold up the heavens, but if the 1% would die off tomorrow (or get put in jail) not much would change.

    Companies would work as they normally do, perhaps even better without egomaniacs controlling them for once. The real work happens much further down the chain if command.

    Politicians would have to be replaced, but except for some early voting in some areas the impact would be quite small. There are rules for politicians leaving office before their term ends, or else every politician who died or gets convicted would be a major problem.

    It’s an excuse and a bad one, I’d say.

    This is just some ‘Atlas shrugged’ nonsense.

    Pretty sure if everyone in the Epstein files was shot I’d still have a job, a boss, bills, hunger, thirst, neighbors, etc.

      Yeah but what if the rent seekers weren’t able to seek more rent anymore? Imagine the societal collapse if everyday people had expendable income.

      Yeah, but in Pam’s eyes common people and the elements of their life are neither “the system” nor what that “the system” exists to support.

    I mean, yes I want to dismantle capitalism but this actually signals that they will weaponize the intentional destruction of public safety to protect their own. They all know the system isnt functional for its purported purpose to the people anyway, that’s how they use it.
