    There will never be a legal precedent for eliminating class “eating the rich” as long as the wealthy control the judicial system. The wealthy overwhelmingly use their wealth to influence politics and law, this can be shown simply by looking at the Oval Office.

    And no, the answer isn’t just vote harder. That will require education which is controlled by, and you may have a hard time believing this, the wealthy. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t solutions, there are actually probably many solutions. Community action and organization is definitely one piece of the puzzle. Finding ways to educate people outside of the traditional systems (without abandoning empiricism) might be another. But pretending the state that is actively harming you and protecting the “Epstein class” isn’t one of them.
