If people are capital batteries, the sovcits are right
No, sane people don’t tell the person with a gun to their head that bullets don’t apply to them. That isn’t resistance, that’s self-delusion.
They’re just in denial about the problem in a different way than the capitalism sycophant peasants. The former believes they can opt out of their captivity like its a kids game, sorry cousin doesn’t work that way short of suicide, and the latter decided to go the Stockholm syndrome route and love their captor.
They explicitly believe the government has used them as collateral, that hat the value of them has earned interest over time, and that they should be able to access that capital. Y’all are bedfellows
We don’t even agree on the same source of entrenched power as the problem, but believe whatever you like.
They believe their labor is collateral used by the state, via industry. The only difference is they think they can download a form to access it
“One freedom form please”
Oh man the court clerks must hate them
There’s a sub here about Facebook posts from them it is hilarious.
