Oh, that's 100% the implication, I get that. It's just not in any way subtle or thought provoking, just "Pigs are another way to refer to cops". Though personally I would never ascribe to cops that much intelligence or empathy.

Probably Android then

What's the hmm here, "Beacon" is literally next to "Bacon" in the autocorrect

Direct disenfranchisement is a drop in the bucket compared to the willful lack of participation more than a third of the country participates in. If even half the people who decided to stay home every election day decided to try and participate, the entire contest would be a wash. It wouldn't even be close.

But they don't, because "the system is rigged and there's no point in trying to fix it".

Oh, obviously someone is telling you you're completely wrong cause they responded to your comment on the internet.

It doesn't need to be, no, but it will be, because we're too busy pretending we can do something about it without organized action that is aided by an actually effective government producing actually effective regulation.

And without those rich people making them, they have nothing to buy. They dont just magically appear for people to buy. That is a misconception (or misdirection, rather) with how consumer action works. You cant take action if the rich dont let you in those situations.

The wallet is only as powerful as the people who run your economy, and generally less so.

Because if you dont have some kind of regulation it ends up being about market forces, which has even less to do with the will of the people and more to do with what makes a very few people rich.

The main issue with government intervention isnt that "government bad", it's that those same few rich people have more influence on it than the will of the people. In a large part because those people would rather cede that power to them rather than make any kind of rational decision.

Its good that green energy is benefiting from market forces right now... but it's a fair weather friend, and as soon as something else is more likely to make some rich asshole more money, it will be tossed back in the junk heap to rot.
