They ignore peaceful protest, but can they ignore a city on fire?

A question posed by the philosophers Aus Rotten back in ‘92

Well, they burned down sections of Los Angeles a few years ago so they could nab that land in the cheap and build condos. So I’m pretty sure the answer is yes.

Also, burning their yachts and faces would be more effective.

We can still tell your images are AI-generated even if you put a filter on top of them.

The image is AI generated. No one is suggesting they aren’t. Did you want us to somehow get a dozen people together, make some signs, and take a photo for an article you’re going to forget about by the end of the day? That’s ridiculous. Grow up.

You could use a stock image and write your own text over signs that actual human beings are carrying.

There are literally billions of public domain images, and the software to edit it can be free if you learn how to use GIMP.

Find me a free image that looks like that and we will slap the text on it and replace the image.

Satire, I know, but “Those who make peaceful reform impossible have made violent revolution inevitable.” - John F. Kennedy.

Excellent point. I’ll let them know next time I’m back in ‘92 ;)

Uh huh

If I'd have a quarter for every time I read someone saying that in Reddit (yes, that long ago) and Lemmy, I would be one of those billionaires

Please don't burn down cities!

WE love in those cities, billionaires famously do not

This is like shooting yourself in the balls to own the billionaires. Great job!

Oh yeah, America isn’t gonna do anything. They keep asking politely.
