Redistributing the wealth of billionaires is already part of a good structural change, it'll remove from them power they'd use to continue the exploitation of the people. You can substitute "crush" by destitute and incarcerate them if you'd prefer, as long as the wealth isn't on the hands of the few anymore.

Yup, the problem is firmly the system, but suggesting a worldwide change to socialism/communism is less "palatable" and believable by the average person.

So "eat the rich" is a decent compromise for a comment not intended to approach any sort of complex answer, while still being a move in a better direction than suggesting things to continue as they are.

Every day we're here just to learn billionaires & families should be crushed and their wealth redistributed amongst third world countries.

It's not necessary to have a military base or troops in order to threaten the sovereignty of a country. This is not only a bad faith argument, but it's incredibly braindead as well.

And if you're insistent on semantics, yes, the USA deployed troops for a "joint training" with Brazilian troops during (far-right USA backed) Bolsonaro's government.

In 2014, Brazil, the coup on Dilma Roussef from the Worker's Party received backing from the USA. In 2018, the unlawful conviction of Lula from the same party, was not only backed but also had strategical support from the USA through instructions on how then judge Sergio Moro should conduct the trial and how he should work with and favour the prosecution, even by the use of fake witnesses and evidence.

They also had the heaviest of hands against Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela a few years later.

So the USA never stopped meddling and forcing their way on South America, really.

Unfortunately:

  1. half of zero is still zero, and
  2. since one can't go below 0HP there's no HP pool to take health from.

As someone who had to DM more than I'd like, no dice, mate.

By far it's Kate, even though I'm now a neovim user. It's just a great IDE.

Being able to follow a manual is a high bar nowadays

I agree with what's gonna happen. At the same time, I guess Mozilla won't make it hard for "Google's web DRM" to be either toggled off via user config, or sandboxed from user data. They have interest in catering to people fed up with Google's constant privacy invasions, so I'm currently waiting to see their next actions with moderate confidence and a healthy dose of skepticism as well.

Librewolf is based on FF, you know right? Mozilla does receive Google funding (that's why their default search engine is Google), but adopting FF and derivatives is also about Chromium not being the single dominant engine: that would only strengthen Google's monopoly.

As long as we don't use Chromium-based browsers (and Google services) we're doing good against Google's monopoly already.

Have fun, I believe one of those will fit your needs just fine ✨
