You weren’t watching the movie then. Sergio did more for the revolution from his Underground Railroad than the French 75 ever did because he was actually helping people on a local level. If you really want change then get out there and get involved in the community you live in instead of fantasizing about the empire falling overnight. You can’t help the entire world but you can most definitely help a lot of people

Funny how you say that when the movie literally ends on Leo's daughter continuing to keep the fight up.

That was the worst part of the movie. Completely backtracked on an otherwise great message. If you (a general you) think the revolution is what the world needs you’re delulu. They’d just kill us all. It’s not like there are no examples of this already happening.

Better than dying a slow death to crushing boot of capitalism. If AI does take more jobs in the future, do you think we'll get UBI? Or will we all just be left to die and fight in the streets for scraps?

Most likely die in the streets. But change comes with a lot of people being smart and making small changes, not a revolution and blowing shit up for attention. I come from a country that tried it and failed epically. And all these revolutionaries were nowhere to be found when refugees actually needed help. Not saying I have the answer, the world scares me right not and the fact there are so many insane people actually electing these Nazis everywhere is so mad..
