In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.
Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.
Yeah, and I hate to say it but in some cases you need violence to make any change. You can protest the companies all you want 24/7 but they’ll just ignore you and keep doing what they want. They’ll out lobby you to prevent any political change. The BLM protests resorted to this because “no one was listening to us and we keep dying”. It’s not the best solution but what else is there.
Sonya definitely had the biggest moral compass of the group being a doctor. Travis was built to be emotionless.
I realize I’ll get downvoted to hell for saying it, but IMO anyone who says that non-violence works every time is naive.
The French didn’t gain anything until the guillotines started rolling. America didn’t get their freedom until they started fighting back. British/Portuguese/French Colonialism in Africa didn’t come to an end until the locals started rioting and in some cases flat out starting revolutions.
Anyone who says violence never solved anything hasn’t been paying attention to ANYTHING in history EVER.
Anyone who thinks violence never changes anything has never opened a history text.
Nah people like to rewrite history in a better image to feel better. The down votes already prove that. Violence should not be the first option but when exhausted of all other options and people are still literally dying it shouldn’t be overlooked. CEOs will just laugh from their ivory towers at “all the peasants whining” and then go right back to killing more people.
As Gramsci pointed out you need broad coalitions between key groups like educators and bureaucrats, but it has to also extend to radical action groups as allies with some social insulation between them to manage public morale and maintain an alliance.
It’s interesting what is going on in Syria right now.
