If even a fraction of the working class people rose up and wanted to, I dunno, kill trump (theoretically) in the US, right now, there is zero goddamn way the US gov could stop them. Theyd be outnumbered 10,000 to 1, easily.

You realize this is the reason so many wealthy fucks are investing in heavily armedmegayacts and heavily reinforced bunkers and nuclear powered private jets like Air Force 1 that will run out of food long before it runs out of fuel. Yes we do outnumber them 10,000 to 1, how in the logistical nightmare do you gain access to the billionaire class when they're behind several feet of reinforced steel or several miles above earth or isolated in the middle of the ocean away from all the problems tbey caused. Yes peasant revolts have been effective and the wealthy know this and thus have done everything they could to physically isolate themselves from us. I'm not saying it is impossible but its not like the oligarchs of todau live in stone castles that don't move and can be starved out in a siege.

They've had a decades long head start on isolating themselves from us. That advantage isnt going away because a small portion of us have class consciousness and a significant number of people are lapping up what the oligarchs pump out on the airwaves and will defend the oligarcha to the death because one day, they might be rich too.

    Dude they fucking go to starbucks and shit.

    They walk around in public everyday.

    Getting at them is not the hard part, thats trivial

    Its the next severalinutes after that usually result in you getting shot to death or arrested that is what stops people.

    Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos all are in public all the damn time

    The thing is, a person is 100% be on a suicide mission even attempting anything.

    That is why people dont attempt anything.

    Right now they do those things, while also surrounded by armed guards, but they've been building their bunkers and arming their megayachts and getting ready to bug out when things get too spicy for them. Peter "Saruman" Thiel is already fleeing to Argentina, probably because he's starting to realize that his billions might not actually be enough to protect his "openly gay while raising a child" ass from getting thrown into the gulags with the rest of the underclass that he had a hand in creating and surveiling by the very political party he's been aligned with and empowering.
