  Maybe you but I am serious when I say we should start guillotining billionaires.

    Read up on what happened in France after the guillotines… Maybe not the best idea to repeat that error.

    Here’s the thing. The French and Russian governments were unprepared for massive civil unrest.

    Here in America we have companies like Blackwater [or whatever they are calling themselves this week] Staffed by ex-CIA hotshots with access to a massive data base and lots and lots of money.

    I’d bet anything that they are already planning to capitalize onthis attack.

      I’d bet anything that they are already planning to capitalize on this attack.

      My guess is they’re currently consulting their legal teams and politicians, trying to figure out how to get the public to pay for their own private Secret Service for corporate executives.

        I have another comment in this thread. I said that 9/11 gave us the Patriot Act and that this attack will probably lead to something worse.

      This whole story-arc gives first move advantage to the opposition, the oligarchs are being forced to react instead of execute plans as they wish

        No.

        This is a blip on the radar. Gamestop didn’t destroy the stock markets and this isn’t going to do anything but get people riled up.

        9/11/2001 gave us the Patriot Act. You can bet that Trump will push through a law letting any CEOs body guards shoot at will.

      Some of us have nothing left to lose. Fuck the private military contractors. Guns and drones are the great equalizer. They’ve waged war on us for decades it’s about time we fight back.

  Ex US attorney Preet Bharara says that an important boundary is when a fantasy “graduates”, going from protected free speech to credible threat.

    Which is very elastic.

    Think of it this way; no one is threatened by the sight of Al Yankovic coming down the street in a tank. People run for cover when Joe Pesci walks into a store and asks how much for a chainsaw.

    Thought crimes don’t exist. One has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the thought crimer is taking actions to carry out real crimes.
