Except the fire is not on your side. It's on the money's side. So really, it's just money vs money. Or specifically, YOUR money vs billionaire's money.

Who do you think will win that fight? The fundamental flaw of the court system is that it's biased towards those who have money due to how politics work.

Here's food for thought, why isn't Prince Andrew in any serious trouble regarding the Epstein rapes? I don't know a single citizen who can just put their hand up and say "nope", and walk away without repercussions, unless you know, they're extremely rich. And we see that in the news again and again in every category of crimes.

The system is broken, worldwide. The only true way to fight 'fire with fire' is solidarity. Look at France, fighting together and protesting against raising the pension retirement age. It's been a month and they're still fighting. And for the government to just push that forward without regard to its populace, who do you think that action is actually for? Not the people.



I’m confused, is the French fighting spirit supposed to symbolize the validity of the lawsuits in this analogy?


No, I'm saying the only way to actually fight back is not through a system that's already inherently corrupt. You'll never win that fight, you'll just end up losing your hard earned savings.

The only fight worth fighting is one where you stand shoulder to shoulder. The French are doing just that. And even though their government passed the pension age raise, they're still fighting. Because at the end of the day, who did they pass that for? Not for the working class. Look at how fast they got it out without regard to what their citizens were saying.

If you were to fight that in court, not only would you be fighting billionaire funded defense lawyers, but it'll take years and ... ? You see the discrepancy? They're fast to pass laws favorable to billionaires, but for the people? It takes years?

Don't waste money on courts. Real change comes from blood and solidarity. Workers in the past have died for our benefits today.


Summary of what you said: might is right, cliched but profound.


I'm pretty sure the french fighting spirit is burning shit in the streets when they try and raise the pension age.


They didn’t try - it’s done
