If they can do anything, and we know humans are corrupted easily when given so much power, is there any other option to stop them, other than death?

Are people corrupted by power?

Or is corruption a means by which people accrue power?

Mass opposition movements can quickly defang a corrupt official. At the end of the day, you only have as much authority as other people are willing to give you.

But social networks of patronage give each individual a strong incentive to defend the corrupt organization as a whole. So the network only fails when an even greater number of dissidents stop taking orders.

You say this as if that weren't the desirable option...

We should have a rule where you don't get to talk tough until you have actual blood on your hands. It is so fucking tedious to have to read your coping, identical to that of an army of other impotent keyboard warriors. STFU and do it or just STFU.

I'm not so much a lone assassin kinda guy as an angry mob kinda guy.

Are you ok? Because you don't seem to be ok.

Are you? When are you gonna do it, killer?

Turn off the internet, go outside and if it doesn't work, seek help. You are hating the wrong people here.
