  • How is my information fundamentally flawed, exactly? Did the USA have a revolution? Did the very same people who took part in that revolution also turn around and clearly state that it is a right to rebel?

    I agreed with your idea that they were oligarchs. How is that relevant? The revolution had help, how is that relevant? Are all oligarchs the same? Is that really a fair claim to make? What about the French? I don’t even feel like you have an argument, you’re just trying to justify your inaction.

    I’m in favour of you using whatever example you need to make it make sense to you. Unions or whatever.



  • That sounds like Russian propaganda.

    While not that untrue, it’s a pretty bleak interpretation of history.

    You could argue the founding fathers were oligarchs but remember… they toppled a monarchy. Doesn’t get more autocratic than that.

    You could also imagine some “oligarchs” could see that they benefit from a more equal society.

    At the end of the day, the founding fathers clearly support rebellion. Say what you will about them but they were not hypocrites. From the Declaration of Independence:

    “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”

    Rebellion is your duty.
