They want to go back to the times where they could sic the national guard with belt-fed machine guns, armored trains, and aerial bombers on striking workers.
Armoured trains wouldn't be very effective nowadays. Thermite capable of cutting through railway rail isn't that hard to make, and a lot of people know that trains are easily derailed if staggered sections of rail are missing.
Air strikes on civilians would probably damage too much of the owners property, can't have that.
The machine guns tho, they could do that. Bonus points if a machine gunner or two gets taken out too, that way it doesn't seem like it was an overt massacre.
Mixing thermite? I have a lazier idea.
Did you know you can just order tools to derail locomotives?
Thermite is cheaper
Classic DIY vs purchase problem.
Here is a WTYP episode on armored trains:
How is that a question? It's a definitive statement and definitely one the rich need to be reminded of!
Phrasing statements as a question is a common way to express caution or, alternatively, disbelief that the statement needs to be made.
"Someone should probably tell him not to piss on an electric fence?"
Yeah well, I don't like it! "should probably" already does that job beautifully. 😅
Alright, well, I'll tell whoever is in charge of the English language of your disapproval?
YES HELLO? ENGLISH LANGUAGE? LET ME SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER! 💅
I feel like they're just using it to indicate an upward inflection towards the end of tbe sentence. Know what I mean? Like those youtubers who always talk like they're asking? a question?
Oh they know very well.
They're dumping billions into stopping it(corporate media and owning education) and ensuring their survival(all of those bunkers they have.)
if only they were self-reliant & not parasitic…
People need a good reminder every NOW and then.
Player 1 is unions, Player 2 is Luigi
Personally, I like to modify that quote. "Those who make peaceful reform impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable."
They didn't forget, they enacted a decades-long propaganda campaign to ensure we'll be too preoccupied with fighting each other to band together.
The biggest lie is that we even need to band together. A couple dozen people offing a couple dozen other people is all it takes to send the strongest message to the rich in American history. No massive coordination campaign required. Someone started it with Brian and the rest of us just watched the moment pass by.
Yeah, well, it's time to start breaking down some fucking doors then because they don't give a shit about anything else except their own personal safety.
Private jets and international investments.
The idea of a revolution has become a soothing dream.
Peaceful revolution is still a good idea but somebody has to come up with an improvement first.
