During the Great Depression, when banks foreclosed on farms, neighbors often showed up at the auctions together.
They’d bid only a few cents, and return the land to the family that lost it. Sometimes a noose hung nearby as a warning to outsiders not to profit from someone else’s ruin.
It was rough, but it worked, communities protected each other when the system wouldn’t.
If a collapse like that happened today, do you think people would still stand together or has that kind of solidarity disappeared? Could it happen again?
People from many countries have fought against worse abuse of power than just corrupt cops, heck this country was founded after fighting and defeating it’s colonial ruler in civil war, why can’t people fight back again.
If you think fighting rich corporations with guns by the time they’re scooping up farms is how it should be fought, you’ve already lost.
Just because you’ve lost doesn’t mean you should give up, that’s how they keep you down, you need to have a positive outlook as well while acknowledge that there issues and keep arguing for things to get better.
