I always fall asleep thinking of that scene in dark Knight rises where people are raiding the rich homes. Lovely

I would like to point out that this is just what robin hood is

The true clarity is class consciousness :3

Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 17 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

ah but we know who they are no? that means we can find them.

I hear there are ways to track their private jets...

On a completely unrelated note: Ukraine has been modding off the shelf drones for aerial recon and munitions deployment.

I hope your bow skills are enough to kill their armed bodyguards first.

I bet a couple dead goons would convince the rest to find safer employment. They do that job because they know there's very little risk protecting some rich asshole

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 8 points 14 hours ago

Most of them are paying teams of retired Navy seals to protect themselves.

I don't think that particular game is hunted on the streets.

They have meticulously maintained resorts, islands, megayachts, etc for exact purpose.

It's no proper sport tho, once the staff stops protecting them, they just stand there sucking their thumbs.

But it's still fully worth it, once the kill is done & the empire (for at least a moment) falls, nature can't believe what just finally happened, etc.

tactical raids on those properties.

let's have it out.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, historically speaking un-tactical raids (pitchforks & torches) worked, however they did buy up a lot more police/military personnel since then.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

pretty soon they'll have formidable robots to replace the unloyal labor.

and so it begins

Fire and smoke are powerful tools. Can't stay in a bunker forever if you can't pull air into it.

You're only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it's money-horney talking in you.

And most of the days that's what lemmy sounds like "I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there's an equal distribution of girls among all of us".

We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you'll never convince me that you're neither jealous nor horny.

I just rewatched some Hawkeye episodes. I'm down with this. brb got to make some more special arrows.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 13 hours ago

Thank you for your important research.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

ah yes, the life i yearn for

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

But what are you going to eat once you run out of rich people?

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 20 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

the food that i bought/exchanged from my local farmer for a fair price

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And what are you going to pay him with?

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not against but I feel like we have to establish boundaries. Like how rich is rich game? Is a weathy dude huntable? What about people that won the lotery? I Imagine billionaires are the better target right?!

[–] Shizrak@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

As with any hunt, the biggest ones are the most impressive. Nobody's going to commend you for taking down a scrawny one when there are billion point bucks out there.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

So it's like the purge but with points or is it like the french revolution?! (Not that they are were very different lol)

Just want to make sure of the rules so I don't kill my neighbour accidentally

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 16 hours ago

I don't know. Personally I'm a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops ...and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.... do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That's the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn't even address whether there's a market in human meat and wealthy traders... And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario....
