It's like they've all forgotten about the 4 boxes.

They took the soap box with segregated "free speech zones," militarized police action against protest, propaganda, and algorithms to hide "radical" unorthodox content.

They took the ballot box with Citizens United and gerrymandering.

They took the jury box with corrupt judges and the complete lack of civil education for the common person to even know what jury nullification is.

The only remaining box is the cartridge (ammo) box.

The only remaining box is the cartridge (ammo) box.

Which interestingly is not just a box they have expressly left available but have expanded its availability. They may have assumed we'd just use it against our own class.

Their mistake.

Some people cannot learn by example; cannot empathize. They must feel the pain directly.
