Just thinking; maybe if people stop trying to get rid of political target and instead started target billionaires, then maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place for everyone.
Just thinking.

I guess that's the main problem with billionaires, is we didn't pick any of them, and once they're a super billionaire we can't really do much about them.
Oh don't buy their products? They're invested in everything, most food brands are just different names for the same factories. Oracle billionaire? WTF are you going to do to protest Oracle? Politicians we, are supposed to, pick. Billionaires become billionaires generally by being the worst, then there isn't anything we can do about it.
So we need to get the politicians on our side to keep the billionaires in check... or violent revolution. I'm a pacifist so I like the first one more, but if the majority is up for the second one, I'm not gonna say ya'll are wrong.
Billionaires are a problem, but not the problem. Weath Inequality inherent in the economic system is the real enemy. Billionaires are only a symptom and a lightning rod.

Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.
If I could get us all to protest grocery store prices by eating nothing but staples whenever there is a random price increase I would die happy XD
Serious question, if I live off just that, I end up feeling like absolute garbage. That's even with supplementing it with greens like spinach and some other veggies and vitamin supplements. What am I missing?
Like, macro-wise, I can replace meat and other things, but it doesn't seem to hit the same?
I end up feeling like absolute garbage.
Maybe, not cooking it well enough? Try changing your recipes, perhaps? Maybe more variety in spices?
Gram, pulses and dried beans (rehydrated before eating) with rice, tend to make my favourite recipes
and even though I use milk products, I feel pretty good even if it is lemonade with black-salt instead.
Oh, it tastes fine, I'm saying like...energy-wise and sugar-crash-wise I feel bad. Just wondering if I'm missing something.
Fruit?
You probably need a fattier diet for your nutrition needs, since the diet listed is a carbs-and-protein diet. Try having way more nut butters / olive oil / other healthy fats

Unionization isn't enough, we need syndicalism. They're like Unions but armed, more organized, more willing to strike and sabotage, and unlike Unions which attempt to hold back the Capitalists Syndicates replace capitalism entirely. Remember, why demand the scraps of the capitalists when we can take the means of production and the complete value of our labor.
Pro life tip: Read theory, join your local socialist or anarchist organization, get involved, strike, sabotage, just make sure to organize
"Hey won't this get us banned... oh right, ML!"
If they bring armed thugs to the strikes, only fair if strikers do as well. Negotiation only happens between parties on equal footing.

What's the difference between a chick pea and a garbanzo bean?
spoiler
I've never paid to have a garbanzo bean on my face
There's a caveat:
Don't unions really restrict your salary growth in fields where there's actual potential for it?
I'm in software engineering and I reckon a whole bunch of people would be unhappy if their salary was in a direct relationship with their years of experience.
Though if the gravy train ever ends, I'll be the first to advocate for an union.
No. In Germany the big companies all have unions. You can always try to negotiate for better conditions, but it always has to be at least the union Tarif. If you can show that you are worth more you can get it.

👂✋ what's that being a radical is being vegan?
I have a union and still just scraping by. But if I didn't have the union I'd have drowned by now
Both are good advice
I hate billionaires, but I like steak... I guess they aren't my enemy after all? I guess I'll rethink my life... Maybe they aren't so bad, eh?
It's not about what you like, it's about what you can afford.
