Its really all about a handful of families wanting to rule the world by keeping us distracted and divided.

hold you back. The system rewards sociopaths. Sociopaths don't make for a good society. YOU have the tools to fix it. Start using them.

George Orwell had the insight. Not enough people do, and what's worse is they don't care that they're complacent.
LordNoodles
So, where do we start to fix it?
SomePeopleSayThatCucumbersTasteBetterPickled
it's mostly about ignorant people electing & re-electing liars and criminals.
jackbos
It's also about the declining concept of personal responsibility throughout our society. But college students don't want to discuss that.
papasmurf1118
It's part of the problem. But personal responsibility can only go so far.
hazelnuts4peace
thank you
derpbread
https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/09/the-poverty-of-culture/ are you talking about personal responsibility for black people or politicians?
Nown
How does personal responsibility from the average citizen affect any of the stuff in the OP?
jackbos
The whole post is about blaming the establishment for everything instead of taking responsibility for your own well being.
Nown
The post was saying 'don't just blame the police, there's a lot more to things than just that', whether you agree with it or not
jackbos
And every single on of the things it blames is the establishment. Not a single reference to people taking responsibility for themselves.
Nown
Because personal responsibility is irrelevant to the point. What does personal responsibility have to do with unaccountable politicians?
Dipityseren
If billions in military funding is stolen and banks rip off entire nations: all without censure, then the precedent it set from the top down
ozjuggler
Surely the point is that all of those actions had to be done or endorsed by an individual at some point, because groups are abstractions.
jackbos
Ah yes. That certainly absolves you of responsibility for your actions. It's all the military industrial complex's fault.
Dipityseren
Billions. *Billions* of dollars stolen out from under nations. With nary a slap on the wrist. But while that makes me want to vomit, I do
Dipityseren
agree with your point; I'm just not completely sold on the idea that there's been such a huge loss of personal responsibility to begin with.

Step #1: Investigations into police brutality shall be handled by an outside organization and not the police themselves.

It is, they're called the Department of Justice

A very small percentage of police brutality cases are investigated by the DOJ, most are done by IAB.

Legit. Big Picture Thinking. Thanks for sharing
th3p0x
Actually, the big picture is that we are becoming move civilized every day. Ironically, all this post is doing is repeating the fear 1/2
th3p0x
mongering perpetuated by the media. Many are down on life when we really have many reasons to be optimistic. People want to be good. 2/2
Wombatish
Except in that particular case, it was just the police (at least initially)... I mean, yes the others are issues. Doesn't mean they're *c*
Wombatish
*c* related or causative. And if OP was just saying "there are other problems too yo" there's a -lot- missing from this list. /shrug
Wombatish
Also, just because someone focuses on the most direct/related issue (the police, in this case) doesn't mean they're a small-picture *c*
Wombatish
*c* thinker, at all. If anything, it's probably more functional to go about it one step at a time. IDK this just screams *c*
Wombatish
*c* oversimplification too, and it doesn't get to get away with it/be regarded as any better only because it's in the direction we *c*
Wombatish
*c* consider more favorable. To me, at least, I suppose I should add.
Kaleopolitus
Eh, more like big picture posturing..? Big picture declaration? OP didn't really speculate on anything.
AnalGenocide
This website is filled with people that have contracted the disease known as liberalism. No amount of speculation would helped them anyways.
Kaleopolitus
Well, you're awfully bitter about that, aren't you? Politics was only the secondary topic too. Good thing I don't align myself politically.
Dreamare
Ah, conservatards. Always thinking everyone's wrong except them.
Haxbrygd
Fun fact: you can replace conservative with liberal and achieve the same result. Politics in America are dumb.
AnalGenocide
The fact that you narrow it down two parties shows how idiotic you are. Go educate yourself because I am far from conservative.
Dreamare
First, my apologies for assuming. Second, conservatism and liberalism are not parties, but political philosophies. Third, don't be an ass.

JosephDunaravich
The peasants are always revolting, your majesty. This time, they're rebelling!
ArcaneConjecture
You don't have to revolt. Just vote, and maybe send $20 to sensible political candidates.
WhimsicalCalamari
"Revolution" doesn't necessarily have to mean violent revolt. "Just voting" doesn't do much, but change doesn't require militias either.
FrigginCornflakes
Psh, no. I'm not giving my money to some professional liar who will pancake-flip himself off a stage during the primaries. I will vote tho.

Sort-of. Institutions are comprised of people but institutional mechanisms transcend people's intentions. People do bad things in groups.

I'm guessing most of those are Reddit views? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right. Front page of reddit carries over to front page of imgur.

First they came for your taxes, and you didnt care. Then they came for your freedom, and still no f@&ks given. Your internet is next.

only when they stop the porn and cat pics will people revolt. for this reason they will take everything but that.

It's much older than that. The Simpsons, Dilbert, various military officers from WW2, and Mutiny on the Bounty are all credited originators

Its about gamergate, people think its a hate group so they have to say this line often.
CHowell2010
It's a reference to the "Gamer Gate" movement that says what they do and say is about ethics in games journalism.
ThisIsFrigglish
Reforming ethics policies, exposing conflicts of interest, vindicated by WAM!'s own report on Twitter harassment... there's a reason.

You're movement, and the movement "counter" to yours are the worst things to happen to gaming since Lieberman.

It's complicated and I wouldn't fault anyone who said they don't want to get into this mess. Basically gamers started a consumer revolt >
