they kind of indiscriminately cut a bunch of wealthy people's heads off and then took all their stuff...well, not necessarily in that order...I mean, I'm just sayin'... ;-)
Hopefully we can come up with a much better idea than this to solve the problem soon. Look what Gandhi and crew did in India. A united front dedicated to a policy of solidarity and non-cooperation brought the British Empire to its knees. We can unite, strike, boycott, protest, and practice ethical civil disobedience.
They can't do anything without us.
And committing random acts of kindness and senseless beauty is always an awesome thing to do. These actions are great fun, and become even more significant when accompanied by dedication and action toward a cause promoting freedom from tyranny and basic human rights.
As for conservative acquaintances, if they don't get it by now they have serious sensitivity/perception challenges. Continuous constant exposure to Fox News over a period of many years has made some of them brainwashed beyond all hope. And those that retain some semblance of free thought process new information very slowly. It is intrinsically difficult for conservatives to adapt to change, and when the notion that the foundation of everything that they believe in is actually so much bullshit it scares them and they park the thought in some rarely accessed part of their consciousness that is only breached when another indisputable truth that shakes the foundations of their false news created reality is right there in front of their nose.
Better to institute the mass Gandhi kind of stuff and let them go from there and not waste a whole lot of time confusing ignorant people with indisputable political social or economic facts when they basically still believe the earth is flat and was created 5,000 yrs ago or whatever their favorite conservative myths du jour are.
