i can't give anyone the source of this information, to preserve their safety; and to preserve my own, this is a throwaway account which will be abandoned as soon as i post this thread - meaning i won't be online to answer, nor will i ever be in the same location as i am now. do not try to contact me.
what i want to tell you is that capitalists already know the masses are angry, and have known for years. they have discussed ways to make that anger subside, and being aware that americans are prone to violence they've recently come up with a devious solution: every year, they get together and pick one among them to henceforth casually and very openly walk around without a security detail, in the hopes that he will be assassinated. they name him a Vessel of Hatred, and make their decision official with an enormous banquet, celebrating the person's sacrifice.
for that whole night, they make him the only one with permission to grossly mistreat the waiters and the cook staff. he scolds them and beats them up violently with various tools, trembling not just from the anxiety resulting from his incoming demise, but from the excitement of being, for a short time, the only one in that tiny world who's allowed to be a tyrant. the rest of the CEOs in the Greater Good Clan watches, clapping and laughing excitedly as he revels himself into exhaustion in the process. the Vessel eventually passes out, lying down on all the blood and the mangled staff bodies, and waking up the next day knowing that although his life is forfeit he had the greatest night of his life
later that week he is assassinated; the Clan goes on the media pretending shock, but they're happy to know people are celebrating their meaningless revenge in the streets and the internet. and thus the CEOs enjoy peaceful lives for a whole year as the masses, for a while, go into a post-catharsis peace, until another Vessel has to be chosen. a man dies; the class lives on
you may not believe it, but this is the world we live in now. take this as a warning and refuse to be gaslighted by their ploy
that last part is so true lmao
when these evangelical leaders were reaching their peak, back in late 00's/early 10's, the PT decided to support rather than to fight them, in the hopes that they would get electoral support (which they even did, for a time; but like any reactionary opportunist, those leaders soon turned their back on the party)
