Those Who Make Peaceful Revolution Impossible
JFK tried to warn us.
Dear Humans,
It’s been a crazy 24 hours. Let’s catch up:
“The Claims Adjuster” Luigi Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at a McDonald’s yesterday after being recognized by an employee.
Yes, this chaotic revolution was derailed by a craving for fries.
He had a ghost gun, a silencer, and a two-page manifesto—short enough to fit on the back of a takeout menu. But despite his methods (which I do not condone, by the way), the memes tell you everything you need to know: people are laughing, not because they love violence, but because they’ve lost faith in the system.
People don’t cheer for chaos when they feel like justice is possible. But right now, what options do they have? The Supreme Court is corrupt, for many people voting feels useless, and the people in power are funded by the very corporations they’re supposed to regulate.
Of course, Mangione gets turned into a meme hero—it’s not him they love; it’s the idea of someone finally fighting back.
Let’s not pretend this is new. History is full of examples: the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, even FDR, who barely kept the lid on by giving people something to believe in.
John F. Kennedy said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”.
This is what happens when peaceful revolution is made impossible. You don’t get reforms—you get assassinations, you get chaos, and eventually, you get rebellion.
When you take away hope, people stop playing by the rules.
So, what’s the solution? Fix the system. Make it fair. Give people universal healthcare, dignity, and a reason to believe that their vote matters. Otherwise, it won’t be the last time someone does this.
Thou shalt never forget that all Americans are united by how much they hate the greed of healthcare insurance companies. Thou shalt unite and demand a system that actually cares about you as human beings!
The Lord hath spoken!

When I see that blatant totally corrupt dictator wanabe, that was found GUILTY of 34 felonies, that had his own handpicked judge delay a trial until appeals would be too late and dismissed the AIRTIGHT case against a TRAITOR, had a corrupt hand stacked supreme court sit on a decision for months to delay what should have gone to trial a year before and then Lied his ass off while crying that he is a victim and still got elected to an office he should have NEVER EVER been in, I see that there will NOT be a peaceful revolution when this trash gets taken out. Only today, Trump's rich puppet master, Musky MuskRAT came out and said that If republicans don't go in total lockstep with Trump, he will spend anything necessary to primary them out of office. This guy could spend $1 Billion dollars a year buying elections for 100 years and still be the richest guy in the world. When there is NO LAW FOR THE RULERS, THERE IS NO LAW THAT THE WELL ARMED RULED NEED FOLLOW! France of 1789 was an example. The thought of Trump and Musk at the head of a long line of Trump enablers, placing their heads in a Guillotine brings joy to this old Vietnam veteran.
I've said for years that killing safety net items and pushing more people off of assistance and leaving them with no hope, they get more disconnected from society as a whole. People who aren't "bought in" to society are more likely to rebel. Republicans have been doing this for years and want to go farther driving us closer to more violence.
