We've always been seen as the competition but one that could be suppressed thru outright violence and microagression and discrimination and disappearing from society.

Those bros don't know the first instinct of survival is just plain old physiological. Can I breathe??? Their revolutions fail, in this country at least, because they repeatedly forget it's just as simple as that. They also forget that every single time we hear of another killing, another jail house death, mass disappearance into prison, we - at least I - feel it as not another statistic but the constant message your life means nothing.

And so to hear repeatedly that economics is the driving force to stop predation is fucking ridiculous.
