      It is easy to find. But people were sharing screenshots from their website with their names and photos. This makes it marginally harder to tweet out their info.

        I wonder why patriots would be doing such thing with photos of ohr beloved elites?

        Must have a lot of admiration these beautiful human beings.

    In the final act of capitalism the corrupt government is made up of oligarchs who destroy the institutions of government that benefit the people and the oligarch loot every last penny that they can before the people rise up, murder them, redistribute the wealth of the country to the people, and start again.

    In France it was the guillotine. In the US it will be in 9 mm pistol.

    They’re afraid because they see it coming.

      Makes you wonder what the French Revolution would have been like with a 9mm.

      Quicker? Or deadlier?

        The spectacle of the guillotine was part of its function. There were easier ways to kill aristocrats, but there deaths were also a message, and smothering them in their sleep isn’t as effective as a public execution with 6 meter tal technological marvel.

          Guillotine: old, cumbersome, hard to find, frankly boring to a modern audience

          Woodchipper: easy to find, easy to transport, new and exciting, sends a message

    PLEASE let “The Adjuster” stick! It’s too good!

      I wrote a thing a while back on some thread about a movie plot called “The Adjuster” that was a mix of “John Wick”, “The Accountant,” and “Nobody.”

      But now I’m thinking of a brand new plot. Starring Timothee Chalamotee as “The Adjuster.” In similar style to Tenet, he is never named in the movie other than by a comment on him making the adjustment.

      In the plot, eeriely similar to another movie or two he was in, as a boy his family moves to Arizona after his father takes control of a family business. Wealthy themselves, our protagonist is educated and healthy, trained in self-defense, and secretly educated by his mother in espionage and control. COVID-19 hits. Many of the people he knows dies, because they ended up in a hospital that insurance refused to cover because a pandemic was considered beyond reasonable. Even with his families wealth, the treatment only saves a select few of his mentors. His mentors have to find other work. They’re assets are drained.

      Through a series of events, him and his mother use the skills she taught him to live among the people, learning the struggle of modern day Americans and their own experiences with the healthcare system. Through some crazy stuff they do he takes an incredible amount of drugs, left to die, but in his hallucinating state, he makes the connection of wealth, insurance, and healthcare, and how to start fixing the problem. He says a famous, but minor line: “Our enemies are above us, and in so many scenarios they prevail. But I do see a way, there is a narrow way through.” Stuff happens. He assassinates the insurance CEO. The modern day Americans repeat the only words he never spoke: “Deny, Defend, Depose.”

      Eh, not my best.

    Maybe there’s a better movie to reference than the parody of space fascists using fear to oppress aliens just trying to defend themselves?

    These guys actually think that stopping stupid people from finding out is gonna save them? It’s not stupid people who are gonna kill them.

    them removing accountability is just the beginning.

    they will strike back after the drawbridge is up and the portcullis is closed. if this was a nycpd cop that was assassinated the police would be done already telling you where they found most of the shooter’s body.

    The adjuster. I like that. I was just thinking that he needs a good moniker, like a proper folk hero.
