That's one tac. More in line with the Great Man theory of history. If I had to guess I'd say we have hundreds of people in politics who are exactly like this. And it's maybe a part of making things better.

But those people will be powerless to do anything until collective and direct action gives them the political capital to point out in a room full of chuds, "look we've got to give them something."

This is just to say, don't wait for your heroes to save the day for you. Even if they're there, dormant, they need your action to do anything.

You act like walking into your masters house and politely asking, even with friends, is gonna get you jack shit.

But if he doesnt see you as human (amd the oligarchs dont) If you don't put a gun in his mouth, it means nothing. At that point, why not just clean off the ceiling and do the thing you were asking permission to do (because its not like they actually do anything) anyway.
