Do the poor and the rich really want peace and justice?

The way it works right now is that poor people wait for one of their own to get brutally and visibly killed by the cops so that they can loot stuff they couldn't normally afford.  Luckily for large corporations, and the rich, these events are spaced years apart and tend to destroy their smaller competitors.  The cost of this system is cheaper than the alternative.

The alternative is for large corporations and the rich to pay more taxes every year in order for the government to provide a living wage.

Sure they do.

Hello Joe:

Right wingers, like yourself, BELIEVE some awful shit about black people.. But, I have to tell you, that is most fucked up, racist, hate filled shit I've EVER heard.

I thought you were just a silly guy.. Now, I know the real you, and you disgust me..

Apart from being cynical, he's not really far off the mark. As usual I think you are just looking for something to be outraged about.

Side: Wait..., what? No!

Lol - OK, let me see if I get what you're saying. You're saying that I believe that black people get together for a meeting and they are like:

"OK, guys settle down. We have to make a tough decision tonight. It's been a while since we looted shit and this year they have a new iPhone and OLED TVs. Someone is going to have to take one for the team. Let's draw straws. Oh shit, Floyd! Tough break, niga. But you know the rules..." ;)

Side: Sure they do.

The media doesn't want peace and justice either. They see looters as entertainment for the masses ;)

Side: Wait..., what? No!

No. The poor want their resentment and envy assuaged by taxing those evil rich people and putting some of it in their pockets. If you object, you're the one who's greedy, not them, even though they are the ones who want to reach into your pockets and take your hard-earned success.

I think all the poor really want is for the rich to stop pretending they are better human beings simply because they have money. Your comment here really accentuates the problems rich people have with emotional maturity.

Side: Sure they do.

Why should the poor care that the Rich are better? They obviously are, just look at the size of their homes compared to the poor. They live in mansions, the poor live in shacks.

Side: Sure they do.

I gave up long ago hoping people would ever wake up to this and identify the problem. Why are poor people looting stuff they can't afford? Why are they angry?

I'll tell you.

Because most of them have been brainwashed the exact same way that rich people have. They believe that the keys to status and respect are material goods and wealth. That's what the system the rich keep telling us is so great is teaching them, so you can't really blame them that dissent manifests itself in this way.
