    It’s not like it’s a real war. We get to go about our lives, because they need us, we don’t need them. We just have to make feelings known, maybe organize into unions and political action groups

    The most impactful thing we could do is nothing. If everyone takes a month off work, refuses to pay rent and fights eviction in court, the economy would go “poof”. They can’t fight us directly - they’d lose all of the power they love so much

    They get to deal with the like people they’ve made desperate. They get to be afraid of the consequences of their actions, to fear walking the streets freely. They can live in their little bubbles of wealth, but in the end that need means locking themselves in a golden cage. They can hire all the security they want - that just means they’ll be shuttled from the airport and back in reinforced cars, only able to feel the Sun in their locked down compounds

    There won’t be a war, but there will be more desperate people if nothing changes. If they want to feel safe walking the streets, they just need to take less so everyone else has something to lose
