Did you know, chimps don’t have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.
Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.
bizzle@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.
anzo@programming.dev 3 days ago
Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)

Don’t have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side
MaeBorowski@hexbear.net 3 days ago
In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who “possesses” what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.

You should watch the movie Ants, it’s an amazing example of why this line of reasoning doesn’t hold water.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Unfortunately Mao was an idiot surrounded by sycophants who killed more of his countrymen through incompetent policies than Stalin did with his purges.
ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 3 days ago
People always say Mao killed so many people, but when pressed for how they just say “famine”. If that’s the standard, how many people does world capitalism kill? Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good🤷♂️

Unfortunately burgerlanders are idiots surrounded by propaganda made by the empire that killed more people the world over through cruelty and policies of greed and exploitation than even Churchill did with his genocide of Indians.
You are an idiot. Mao was a brilliant and resolute (though imperfect) revolutionary that saved millions of people, pulled even more out of poverty, and set China on the path to becoming the superpower that it is. Surrounded by sycophants? lol, he famously called on the people not to blindly accept party bureaucracy and to fight injustice even when it means fighting his own communist party.

If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they’d be less likely to want to become one.

I think they’d just hire more security. They have the money for it
Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 days ago
In a hypothetical world where billionaires cannot go outside a security perimeter for fear of their lives, how soon would we see people refusing the inheritance or donating massive portions?
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
You just assume that everyone rich would seem rich. If i got billions noone would know. Not everyone needs gargantuan houses and excessively expensive cars and yachts. I would still live in a moderatly tiny house because i don’t like housework AND don’t like strangers in my house doing that. In fact i just had billions. Nothing in my life would change. I’d be safe in your world 😁
Also what for? To show others i have money? So i could never ever trust a person again? Not everyone wants to be a rockstar. Only those whose personalities are so undeveloped that they need the constant ego-strokes from random strangers to even feel something. I just feel pity for jokes like elon musk.

This is honestly the reason why I don’t think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.
TheFogan@programming.dev 3 days ago
IMO we are probably on the brink of the last possible society that can on a technical level. I would say, nukes, and even drone bombs etc… are unlikely to be utilized, simply due to collateral damage, infrastructure damage etc…
However, things like the boston dynamics spot etc… We’re probably a decade away from when 1 person can control an army of perfectly loyal soldiers.
WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 3 days ago
I disagree, usage of drones hasn’t worked to put down any armed struggle in the US’s puppet states.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
If it comes to that, which hopefully it doesn’t, we should remember lessons from Vietnam and Iraq. The US Military might be massively overpowered, but it can still struggle against a well-organized insurgency.

Imagine how good one would be off if we had just 1 or 2 million in the bank… apples would be like 5 bucks each but it would be nice for a good month. But anyway like how do we get say 500 bucks a week and they get 20,000? Or 3,000,000? Like how does that even make sense to anyone?
