Someone should tell the people assisting in the accelerating inequality that, because unfortunately our system is massively biased in their favor when it comes to enacting any of those things. Except the last, which some will, understandably, see as their only recourse.

Put simply: people _have_ been fighting for those things and the wealthy have fought tooth and nail against it. I don’t at all understand why anyone can be surprised when all other avenues are closed, people resort to violence. It’s literally how this country was founded.
