Lol, sure. until the first "revolutionary" takes one in the chest.

Americans are too comfortable. Leftist rhetoric is virtue signaling and costless.

Arguably, they don't take one in the chest. Luigi Mangione lives in notoriety what he did; most people can't even name the CEO he killed, let alone frame them as a martyr.

I disagree with theories of continual revolution, but it's pretty clear that class warfare still has valuable asymmetric qualities.

Rightist rhetoric is vice signalling, costly, and destructive. I'll choose the virtue signalling.
