Polls show an increasing support for political violence. In my opinion, this is because we are living in an oligarchy and there are no other effective modes of change.
Look at the Paramount-Warner merger. The laws we elected lawmakers to enact and the state to enforce are not being enforced. We voted for the laws. We voted for the sherriff. Yet the will of the people is not being enforced.
What options remain?
The reality is that we are being ruled and controlled by a very small number of very rich people.
