Yes. It was meant to prove how the system has very few winners, most of them by luck only, and a lot of losers that can’t ever hope to win, but are still kept in the system to feed the winners.
 
Problem is that plays into two things humans love to do:  
  1. Win  
  2. Believe they can win
     
    Which makes for a great PVP game.

He faces up to 30 years in prison.

I’m rolling my eyes while looking in the comments section. According to these clowns in the thread, “Capitalism” has never resulted in the deaths of people and that it was Mercantilism instead.

So I was reading through this YouTube video’s comments and two in particular stand out to me:  
This argument is ridiculous to me. Arming the public wouldn’t make a difference cause the people don’t revolt when they think the problem doesn’t affect them. We had Jim Crow and no one defended blacks by overthrowing the government. We had slavery and the people who TRIED to overthrow the government were FOR slavery. Natives were forcibly removed from there homes illegally in the trail of tears and no one fought for them.
Even now the same 2A fervent supporters who say they’ll overthrow the government here a group of Americans say “we’re being killed by a police state” and people bend over backwards to say why said police state is justified.
These people wouldn’t fight a tyrannical state
 
As a Turkish citizen, I do not see the logic behind the idea of preventing a tyrannical government by having large number of guns. The weapons may be an advantage to fight against a tyrannical regime, but it certainly is not enough to win against the oppressor.
Here in my country, people can get different kinds of weapons if they like. They can get handguns, hunting rifles or shotguns, they can even get an AK-47 if they live in rural areas. By U.S. and European standards, Erdogan is already an authoritarian man and the country has already turned into a tyrannical regime by having the largest number of journalists jailed, poor human rights records, poor checks and balances in the government. In other words, it is a tyrannical regime in Ben Shapiro’s or Ben Carson’s word. Yet, the Erdogan’s government still has a huge number of popularities in the nation where half the country will rather die than electing another government. If the opposition groups revolt against Erdogan, it will only make his job easier to finally get rid of whatever opposition left in the country under the excuse of combating against terrorism. So, revolting against the government and shooting Erdogan’s men is equal to giving him a golden gift basket for their supports to help his cause.
Also, Erdogan has the control of the entire military, police-force, and intelligence agencies. However, if the opposition groups start a civil-war, for example, then he may not even bother to mobilize the army but rather he can give weapons to his supporters and send them to fight against the oppositions. Then, he can simply justify his actions by saying to the world that there are uprising events happening because of the opposition groups and he will remove them to protect the democracy from collapsing. So, tyrannical governments do not acknowledge themselves as they are tyrannical and claim that they are functioning democracies, republics, or something else even though they are not.
In short, there is no ultimate solution to stop a tyrannical government from gaining power because the guns which are used to prevent a tyranny can easily be used as a back bone for tyrannical regimes to rise at the same time. Look at the Syria for example, for a time the opposition groups were winning when they were supplied from other countries but once the Russia, a professional military were involved in the conflict, they began to retreat to the point that they lost all the chances of winning.
To prevent a tyrannical government, one needs more than just guns. They need a strong public popularity, allies from outside that will support and supply the oppositions against the tyrannical government, advanced weapons to combat against the government’s armored divisions, air and sea dominance, professional people who knows how to fight or how to survive against the odds such as sickness, starvation, dehydration, physiological traumas or PTSD, and low morale. If an opposition group lacks any of these to fight against tyranny and rely only to their guns, that means they lost the war before even it begins.

Saw some schmuck on CNN or some other terrible MSM network saying how David gave away millions of dollars and provided a few research hospitals money for cancer research. Koch did this after being diagnosed with cancer in 1999 and only gave millions while sitting on billions.

I want to reply the first post in particular since it’s prescient to me: people did attempt to over throw the government(s) carrying out slavery. The problem is they were pretty few and far between. John Brown’s insurrection comes to mind but his in itself wasn’t the only attempted pro-slave insurrection bent on an uprising against the white slave holders. John Brown’s uprising however came at a time in America’s consciousness that in the north at least slavery itself was the root of this violence, and an abolition of slavery was to be the end of the violence of slave uprisings.
 
The south had other ideas though, namely in that denying slavery was the cause of run away slaves, occasions of slave-conducted sabotage, or the very idea of a slave revolt was contingent on slavery as an institution. We just haven’t had many major slave revolts in the US because we had the most effective slave program in the Americas, as effective as the Roman slave system. The slave revolt of Haiti is testament to the naked brutality of French slavery in the colonies that there was no choice but dying in the fields or dying in glorious revolution to the black population. American slave holders hid behind a veil of a number of lies.
 
To quote an American slave-owner’s manual:
 
“The Master should make it his buisiness to show his slaves, that the advancement of the individual interest, is at the same time an advancement of theirs. Once they feel this, it will require little compulsion to make them act as becomes them.”  
-Southern Agriculturalist (1836)
 
Compare to the Roman tract of slave keeping by one Columella, De Re Rustica:
 
“Such justice and consideration on the part of the owner contributes greatly to the increase of his estate.”
 
The idea of having slaves and to make them peaceful is to give them the impression that their owners care, feed them and clothe them, and sometimes give them a few hours of free time at the end of the week. Make sure they have adequate space to sleep. And in the case of America: destroy their original cultural and ethnic identity and replace it with WASP Christianity where the guiding moral principle is to be meek and servile to get the first tickets into Heaven; that Christianity and their death as a Christian will result in their final liberation.
 
And when a rebellion did occur, like Nat Turner’s rebellion, or Denmark Vesey’s, or Gabriel Prosser’s the punishment was absolute with not only the perps hung but also some blacks who happened to be there. I recall reading to that in response to the rumor of a supposed plot some thirty blacks were hung in mass.

One other great thing Trump recently helped make happen. The A-10 Warthog has recieved full funding to remain in active service allowing them to continue operation well into the 2030s.  
Boeing confirms they have a contract to upgrade all existing A-10s.

Just saw a video on Facebook of protesters in Hong Kong cutting down and destroying a facial recognition camera tower. Guess the protesters have decided to step their game up over there.

STOP KOSA!
So if Trump loses the election in 2020, will he put behind bars for those obstructions of Justice?
 
If I can recall, the only reason he hasn’t been charged or imprisoned is because he’s president.
 
In fact, could he possibly even face execution for his crimes?
