    Just to elaborate for the folks I've run into who doubt and downplay the worst of it - even if you remove the more lurid reports, the simple fact of "recruitment" for such a hideous enterprise, what accomplishing that requires - that is hunting humans for sport.

    Extending globally to identify and traffick vulnerable young people, targets meeting the right criteria to make it all "work".

    No metaphors are needed, nor any reliance on anything remotely controversial in the files. Hunting humans for sport is exactly, dead on correct.

    But can they really trust their guards? What guard wouldn't want to have the nickname the kingslayer?

    That’s why they’ll fit their guards with death collars to prevent them from getting ideas.

    Where do you buy death collars from?

    First you have to get said guards (who are hired to protect you) to agree to wear those. Only a moron would agree to that. And sure they malfunction too. So be hard if you security is fucking disabled from your death collar to protect you. Rich people are not smart.

    There is a very thin line between “Safe inside your bunker” and “Trapped inside your bunker”. The people on the outside dictate how that plays out.

    Delicious. Where I live (Auburn WA, represent!) the copper and the plumbing feeding into the property would be stripped and sold for pennies on the dollar for fenty. And then when a food or repair truck comes for resupply, the nanosecond the driver leaves the truck, it's gone. Jacked. Bye bye. Those rich aholes gun starve to death yo

    Who needs to get in? They wanted to be pharos - gods even. They want to be in there? I say let them be. Concrete is pretty easy to pour and it just doesnt seem capitalist to just leave such prime real estate under developed...

    if only, and stay with me here, if only there was some contraption invented since we last had moats around castle, i don't know, something that can fly in the air and carry, oh i don't know, bags of shit over these moats and into the castles, maybe even more of it at the same time like swarms of bees, maybe we could even name it after them like bee, or worker, or drone, or something. that would be something, I tell ya!

    You need to be more alarmed about this.

    Conservatives (and the rich tend to side with conservatives) have no imagination and project their own intentions on others.

    I cannot possibly stress this enough:

    IF THEY THINK WE'RE GOING TO VIOLENTLY ATTACK THEM, IT'S SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE PREPARING TO ATTACK US THEMSELVES.

    They have THOROUGHLY demonstrated that they can't imagine anyone wanting to do anything but that which they themselves want to do, are preparing to do, or are ALREADY DOING.

    Mark my words:

    The rich are preparing to exterminate us all.

  • source

  • [–] 15 points 8 months ago (1 child)

    No, not exterminate, just control with even further violence. The rich are stupid and useless, but they do know that they need bodies to do their work for them, even if they’ll never admit it.

    This is, honestly, much worse because complacent people won’t fight back nearly as hard.

    No, they actually ARE seriously stupid enough to kill us all because these DENSE MOTHER FUCKERS honestly believe AI will do everything for them and that they don't need bodies anymore.

    They want you alive. And supple to their desires.

    I've been thinking about this on and off for the past two weeks and you know what?

    You are being too kind and giving them too much credit.

    They aren't THINKING that far.

    THESE DENSE MOTHER_FUCKERS_ HONESTLY BELIEVE AI WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR THEM

    AND THAT WE ARE ALL WORTHLESS

    NOT EVEN WORTH EXPLOITING.

    so yeah

    They aren't even pretending anymore: cruelty literally is the point and they want us DEAD.

    This is the main driver behind gun control in Canada post 2020. They keep saying they need new laws to honor the 14 young women shot dead in 1989 but in reality they stopped giving a fuck about all shooting victims a long time ago. They know it is going to get so bad that a landlord or corrupt politician is going to get shot and they want to forbid as many firearms as possible.

    The fact that some European countries are loosening up some restrictions to train their populations to shoot in light of Russian aggression should tell you that an armed populace absolutely has some deterrent effect. Not against air strikes, but against ground invasion. In Canada the army will not hold up for long against a US invasion, but they will fail in the long term against armed resistance. Carney even floated the idea of an armed resistance force, but he is still passing as many privacy violating laws as possible and sharing as much information as possible with both US governmental agencies and corporations. meaning if a US invasion happens the Americans will have a ready made list of all Canadians who might resist or have firearms permits or experience with the military or demolitions. We would be royally fucked.

    If the US actually invades Canada, I personally preemptively forgive all Canadians for letting their inner "Crazy Canuck" out and inventing some new war crimes to make my vicious, sadistic, deranged countrymen regret fucking with y'all.

    It has become clear to me that the 21st century must be the century of United States Humiliation. This place needs to learn a god damn lesson that it will never forget.
