Fuck off with the big pharma apologetics.

Boo hoo the corporation got millions in taxpayer money to develop a vaccine and now they have to profit off of it. I feel so bad for them.

This is subtle astroturfing.

They had that before but it kept getting vandalized

Pessimism is so addictive. I've struggled with it a ton throughout my life.

I get your statement but it's really overly violent, and honestly sounds kind of libertarian. More guns & more violence really will not solve anything. If you get violent all you do is justify violent means for your oppressors. In this day and age, there's no winning a fight of violence against the government and groups you disagree with. There's far better alternatives that we have. The benefit of capitalism is that it means the only fucking thing that works against the power structure is to scare them from losing control of their capital. I guarantee en-mass "voting with your wallet", and literal voting, will have a much better effect than arming up.

Also, you're free to call Nazis, Nazis. Nobody is stopping you.

Pessimism literally helps nobody, it just makes people more depressed and less likely to do anything about a bad situation. Don't forget that last election had one of the highest young voter turnouts ever recorded, and was by far a huge swing to liberal. Since then the Republican party hasn't even been close to as organised as they were during 2016 and 2020.

Change can and will happen. It already is, albeit slowly and with bumps along the road, just like any progression in society.
