At this point it already has been turned into a class war. They get away with so many crimes and just a slap on the wrist. If an individual does it life sentences. Almost like the laws are made to be broken by the rich.
I'm not pretending there isn't a class war. That would be silly of me.
When people start acting like the class war is happening right here between their fellow fedi citizens, that's when it becomes a bit unhinged.
Between equals it's not a class war though, it's infighting. And agreed, we should avoid that. Rich parasites love to see us divided.
