Except they aren’t doing that. They’re calling on somebody else to do it for them. They keep saying, “we need another Luigi.” They’re not planning to do anything themselves. That’s pretty clear. This is a way of avoiding doing anything, not doing anything.
That's not quite right in my opinion. Think of kids on the playground.
You do it
No you do it!
They're amping themselves up. Because they're adults, and not talking about poking a bug with a stick, it will most likely stay that way until someone in that group is badly affected by the system. Or until someone provides leadership.
Either way it's trending towards violence.
Who in America who isn't rich has not been badly affected by the system?
Yes, but no one wants to do that. Everyone wants "the next Luigi" to take care of the problem instead. It's just an excuse to not do anything.
Yet.
How long exactly is it going to take? Weeks? Months? Years? Because from what I can see, things are getting much worse. Rapidly.
And you are doing exactly what I am suggesting by just waiting for someone else to do things before you consider doing them.
Oh gosh there's a misunderstanding here. I'm not asking for more political violence. I'm merely offering what I've observed and learned about this stuff. The time cycle is unpredictable but if conditions get worse then it's a shorter cycle.
