You and me baby aint nothing but mamals, so lets lead a revolution like on discovery channel

[-] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago

This song has to be taken in the context of its time. You see, discovery channel used to air documentaries and animal shows.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hehe I like you

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 51 points 2 years ago

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

I'd use a thin bamboo stick first, that shit leaves a stinging burn sensation on the skin

Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

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 18 points 2 years 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.

Edit: I agree with your sentiment though

[-] gimsy@feddit.it 6 points 2 years ago

It is enough to have one person doing the inside job, but this will escalate too and... welcome to modern Russia

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years 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?

Can he trust his cook if it's a brown person? 🤮

Naw. He can’t afford to lose cheap labor

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

lose ~~cheap~~ chimp labor.

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Once they have AI bots it's game over.

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

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 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Unless they're maintaining the software themselves, there's no such thing as perfectly loyal. In the past the revolutionaries needed to capture the armory, now they need to capture / subvert the servers / programmers.

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

It's true... but with all things it's a matter of quantity of people you need to be loyal... IE one commander who agrees with the cause, vs 100 soldiers that could talk about it.

Plus, it's far easier to grow a concience on the field looking in the eyes of the children you are murdering, vs sitting in a computer or robot lab having no "need to know" what these robots do when they leave your office

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well we're obviously in the right place for that

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Oh shit this just got a lot more cyberpunk lol. Now I'm picturing Boston Dynamics robots being hacked by anti-fascist black hats...

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If it's got that kind of capability, it can be hacked.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years 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.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Naw it's white folk that want to get their magic cards

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

It's alright, given the current performance of Blue Origin it'll take him a decade or two to get the missile working.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

to get the missile working

If you know what I mean..

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Not enough HGH in the world...

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Nature is wise

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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?
