Fuck yeah. They should live in constant and non-stop fear of the people they hoard from

[-] elscallr@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

"Fear"

You really think they give a shit? About something like this? They just pay someone $200 to clean the yacht. Sink it and they just buy a new one. This isn't anything.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

Lol you haven't seen many rich people have you? This is definitely something they fear.

[-] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

Then they have a weird way of showing it. They're doing an awful lot of hoarding and exploitation for somebody within pitchfork distance.

I honestly hope you are correct.

[-] kmkz_ninja@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The rich know there will always be people who will tell you you're protesting wrong.

[-] Misconduct@startrek.website 9 points 9 months ago

Oh ok. That's fair I guess if you've found a better way. What have you done?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I stopped shopping at Walmart and started shopping on Amazon. By switching what billionaires I support I am going my part.

[-] KIM_JONG@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Sad thing is, Amazons profit margins on their shopping shit is razor thin. It’s AWS that is making bank, and that’s like half of the servers on the internet.

They SHOULD, but this won't accomplish that.

Let's think of something better.

Look no further than medieval French engineering!

Time for some TrebuchetMemes?

Did you know a trebuchet can use a counterweight to throw a 90KG projectile over 300 metres?

[-] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

All jokes aside, and we might agree in some specifics -

Any new order that was established needs to limit the violence as much as possible. Because revolutionary violence as often as not eats the children of revolution.

In the meantime though...

Wouldn't hurt to complement it with one of their more modern techniques - large crowds using Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, Nitrogen and Oxygen
