I wonder if having everyone dress in business attire would send a better message and deflect some of the "it's OK to beat up the underclass" attitude. Maybe visit the thrift stores and buy up every $5 suit? Nobody's going to want to get their interview clothes ruined.

Dealing with the police is a different issue from getting the message across. I wonder if chanting "Tiananmen Square" when attacked would make some people think, because protesting against the communists is, of course, laudable.

I'm not convinced on the "human beings reciprocate" argument for the rich. They are used to having waitstaff and other lackey-class people being nice to them, and that seems to put them under absolutely no compunction to be nice back. I think many see it as a sign of weakness. Social Darwinism is very much alive.

I'd ask them "Do you have any rope to sell?" but history was probably an elective they passed over in school.
