The ruling class ceased abiding by their half of the deal a long time ago. Or maybe you haven't noticed them killing us with impunity whether it be by poisoning our land, our water, the entire planet, or denying us access to healthcare. The social contract is no longer valid. For the working class to continue abiding by it would just be to hamstring themselves. Eat the rich. If there's one thing about LightSnake, it's that he has never shown any ability to understand this breakdown in the "established order." Understanding that doesn't automatically lead to supporting vigilante murders, but I think it would lead to very different stances than what he's taken on this issue and many others. The people destroying our lives are counting on our continued belief in the social contract as if the purpose of wealth isn't to rewrite it on more favorable terms or opt out unilaterally. But of course, we've gotta keep up our part and shouldn't rock the boat. That would be unserious of us. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:983361126] in Luigi Mang...
