    You are really beating up that strawman. He doesn’t stand a chance.

      I searched for a post but couldn’t find it now, and it’s too bad because it addresses exactly this mindset, but basically talked about how liberalism boils everything down to a zero sum game, among the general populace.

      Somehow, the masses never develop enough unity to take that zero sum game to the ultrawealthy and global corporations.

        Somehow, the [weak] never develop enough [strength] to take that zero sum game to the [strong].

        Exactly what I was saying.

          You and I see the world very differently. You see money as strength; I see it as a tool, a means to an end. Nonetheless, a coalition may be beneficial.

            Money is a tool to make you stronger. Strength is a means to imposing your will on the world around you.
