      If the rich fear for their lives they will torch anything and everyone around them (that being all the rest of us) to keep safe.

      You think it’ll make a difference? Go out and do it yourself.

            Lmao projecting much?

            Or are you arguing in favor of being a good little slave?

            What’s the point of whining like a little bitch while others talk about fixing problems?

            Sounds like you want a hero that you feel will never come and you just project that insecure mentality onto others.
