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

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 on this attack.

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.

This is just the first.

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.

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