Guillotines need gravity to work, which is why the billionaires are so interested in going to space
It’s a little bougie but I think we can solve this with some high powered springs
Microgravitational revolutionary physics?
Woah
But if the billionaires go to space, it won’t be the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism, and where will Tim Curry go?
Centrifugal force has entered the spaceship.
You can’t space billionaires without space billionaires!
They want to go to space because an asteroid if mined could have more raw materials than are in circulation.
Do you think that’ll be shared among our species or is it more likely they’ll use it as leverage to become something more powerful than kings, presidents or corporations. That is a tremendous amount of economic leverage if you can deliver it.
They have no interest in living in space but 100000000% interest in exploiting it for resources with autonomous miners. The space exploration/tourism is just to get R&D paid for by the big earners but not really wealthy. Not wealthy enough to make a space station anyway.
I don’t believe it’s possible for another 100 years but that’s 2 generations which is nothing if you’re a dynastic wealthy family who thinks you’re charting the course of humanity. If it sounds crazy keep in mind they were the original latch key kids, growing up with au pairs and private jets. Their thought process operates on a different inertia to the point of brain damage due to isolation from the consequences of their actions. One day we’ll view greed as a treatable mental illness in the DSM. They have a hard time relating to normal people and see the working class as meat machines.

Googled a bunch but found nothing. What’s the connection between OP and Trevor?
I think they’re referencing this song https://youtu.be/TMHCw3RqulY
your Google-Fu is a bit weak.
No Google just sucks ass now
It’s literally the first result.
Step one is to stop calling the wealthy dregs “elites”
Yeah, for real, this sounds like something Republicans would chant while installing an actual plutocratic false prophet dictator.
Yeah, I hate also that those things are equated. I mean perhaps the actual elite are more often rich than others, but there definitely exist plenty of non-elite rich people.
You better watch out talking like that or you’ll end up with blunt force head trauma and alcohol in your system.
I just want to state publicly that I do not and have never wanted to unalive myself

I have revised the reports and I’ve come to the conclusion that this does not violate rule 2 (call to violence).
IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES!!
YUH!
Apparently this is a whole genre. Mega Guillotine 2020

AJJ ♥️
Lol people who still believe there’s hope.
The bearded German’s prophecy must one day be fulfilled. Workers of the world unite
Sounds kinky :3
Kind of interesting given garrison is supposedly trump in the story
There is always going to be an elite. If sociery is bad, no revolution in the world will make things better. You’re just going to replace one tyrant with another.
Must be sad to have such limited imagination. I don’t have the disappointing disability that makes it impossible to envision life without a Daddy in charge, so I can’t relate.
I don’t think like that. I’m just saying that if a revolution is executed by bad people, they will just move the power to another tyrant. Revolts and revolutions have their place, but that does not mean that they always work. Look at Communist China or Russia. Look at the Arab Spring. Look at Libya, Gadafi was a really bad guy, a rapist even. But what happened after people revolted? Just more corruption, crime and foreign powers taking advantage of the situation.
This is why when people with a certain political leaning in the West say that they want to eat the rich, without having any further plan or clue what that would entail, look like dangerous retards. Excuse my French. Most people are pissed that they are litarelly being robbed every day by their governments, some have even been attacked physically or imprisoned unjustly. These are all legitimate grievences I do not inted to downplay at all. However, when people destroy order, leave everyone vulnerable to internal and external threats, will that make the situation better or worse? Are you willing to take that risk? What is the probability that your country will survive and prosper after such an event? Think hard about that!
If most people suck, and they would do the same as the elites had they been in power, then focusing on the current elites makes no sense. Because the current elites will just be replaced with people like them.
Lastly, in general, people will automatically rearrange themselves into power structures, even after a theoretical reset. That’s human nature. Of course there are degrees to this, but power structures will be there nontheless. You and many others don’t seem to have a clue if a revolution will lead to less totalitarianism, or more totalitarianism, you just assume that it would lead to a better state. Sorry to say, that’s a bit naive.
I don’t think like that.
Two paragaphs later…

Happens every time. Also…

Quote me saying this. In fact, quote me telling you anything at all about my political beliefs, other than that I am not limited to conceptions that require a leader.
Happens every time.
Yes, we can say that it happens almost every time. You are arguing against a very obvious fact of life. A father is a leader to his family. A teacher has authority in the classroom. An employer has authority in the workspace. When you want to efficiently combat criminals, you need commanders (detectives), like in the police. In general, you are going to have disputes between people regarding choice A or choice B. Leadership can resolve such disputes efficiently. Generally speaking, we cannot function without leadership structures.
I am not limited to conceptions that require a leader.
How about several leaders? Because you are not going to escape leadership completely. If you are a functioning member of society, you will have a leadership role over someone, and you yourself will have leaders. It does not mean that you worship them or that you are worshiped, nor does it mean that they have to be tyrants who take other people’s rights, or that you take other people’s rights.
I’m telling you this because you seem to have a very skewed idea of what leadership is supposed to be. You seem to think that it is nothing more than imposition of one’s own will over others.
Yes, we can say that it happens almost every time
…Never seen someone just straight up admit that they were bullshitting. Props to you. Just to be clear - you do realise that the thing that “happens every time” is people claiming not to be married to the idea of society being led by an individual, then going on to argue that this is the only way?
You realise that, right?

I’m getting bored of saying this over and over. Just apply it to the whole comment.

I suppose I’m not functional, then, because I do not “lead” anyone, not am I “led” by anyone. Stop projecting your opinions on to society at large - you’ll find that your opinion is just that; an opinion. Not a fact.

There are no problems with power structures per say, not only that, (yes) they are necessary. As long as those given power do not abuse it, there are no problems. I also never claimed to believe that society should be at the hands of one individual and their whims and desires. These two things do not contradict one another.
Secondly, the only one here bullshitting is you, and I will tell you why.

So you are telling me, that as an employee, you can do whatever you want at work or even not show up at all, because you have no authorities above you? Or even better, maybe you think that when you are fulfilling your duties at work, you do so purely because you are interested in doing so. Not because you have to earn your salary, which you then must use to pay for your home and put food on the table in order to live. Come on.
