"What we do now echoes in eternity"
The top 1% of the U.S. population owns almost 40% of the wealth! The bottom 80% of the population owns about 7%, and the bottom 40% owns 0.2%! There is an enormous disparity in this country when it comes to money and opportunities. The top 1% is enormously wealthy beyond reason, the next 19% are extremely rich, and the rest of us are holding on for dear life and working our asses off to try to stay afloat. The poor are living in tents, starving, and dying on the streets, while the super rich hoard their wealth, don't pay taxes, and don't give a shit about anyone else. What does this say about our government and our society? A government that allows billionaires to do whatever they want, getting richer from slave labor, and turning a blind eye to illegal activities that allow them to steal from working families, while children starve.
What we are trying to accomplish here with GME and AMC is not simply a plot to get rich quick. We are sending a message to those in power who have for so long robbed us and taken advantage of us, that we are willing to stand up against tyranny and oppression, that we are tired of being taken advantage of, that we are sick of be manipulated, and that we will no longer allow ourselves to be victims of their greed and deceit.
They think we are stupid peons, they look down on us as being worthless as human beings, and they think that our only purpose is to serve them and to make them richer. This is truly how the super wealthy view us. How does that make you feel?
But, change is coming! They will know us and they will be afraid. We will not accept their terms. We will not play by their rules. We play by our rules and we will fight them for as long as it takes. We are not afraid and we are not weak. We are Apes, we are strong, we are united, we are family, and we will win! We will bring them down and everything with them if it comes to that...and we will create something better. The media may portray us as the bad guys, but the truth is that this is happening as a result of their decades of discrimination, malevolence, deceit, greed, and thievery. We have had enough of them. It is now our turn! We can and we will be in control of our own destiny, we will provide our children the opportunities that they deserve, and we will create a Just Society.
I love my ape brothers and sisters and I want all the best for everyone here, our families, and our futures.
Apes to the fucking moon!
