    For all their passion, they lacked focus.

    I talked to one in Portland as the protest had gone on for a while.

    “What can the big banks do to make you dust off your hands, go ‘my work here is done!’, and go back home?”

    “I want them to fucking die!”

    Well, clearly that’s not going to happen, but he had no backup plan.

      Sounds like what happened at CHAZ, except with less murder investigations in the follow-up

      That was just hilarious to watch, first the tanks were fawning all over it and clambering for their own AZ districts to institute tyranny of the faithful over, and then when it went bust suddenly it was anarchists and they all knew it was doomed from the start.

      Nothing has changed since then it seems. I constantly read comments with similar sentiment towards rich people here.

        Lemmy users would never post images of a guillotine on a serious discussion post, it goes against our collective morals 🦑

      there was a handful (like about 3 or 4) of the movement that actually came up with serious economic analysis and ideas for reform, there were a few youtube video presentations of their work from that time but i have no idea if they still exist
