They used to be involved in a cult. They still are, but they used to, too.
Eh, kinda true? Some egalitarian societies had no cops, many did in some way, shape, or form. I don't have the means to provide links as sources but they're out there... Many egalitarian societies had some form of "law" enforcement ("law" in quotations being not just the written-law the Western world is familiar with but cultural codes of conduct and the natural social contract) but had wildly different approaches to it. One society I've read about had seasonal rotations for the role of "police" as no one person could hold that position of authority indefinitely - thereby the abusive authoritarian cop would likely find themselves on the other side when their victims now hold the badge, so better be on your best behaviour when it's your turn.
Some societies would have the cultural practices of ritualistically beating and humiliating their politicians and police on a regular basis, parading them down the streets in clownish makeup while flogging them sticks and whips, pelting them with rotten food and excrement, as a reminder to these people of their place in society and who they work for. If you were a popular or well-liked politican or cop, the people would feel bad and go easy on you. Makes one think twice about taking on those roles, better be on their best behaviour if they do.... A far cry from how we do things nowadays. Not full egalitarian by any means, even if many other practices were egalitarian.
It's shaky ground to classify cultures or societies as "egalitarian" as societies aren't that simple. They're a wild and colourful carnival of social experiments (at least they used to be.) Some societies were egalitarian on seasonal rotation as well, switching back and forth between egalitarian to brutal authoritarian. It's also similar to when people say "egalitarian societies only work in small populations," as there's very little evidence to be convincing either way. Some egalitarian societies were small, some were enormous and spanned continents. In fact, most egalitarian societies were large and you often find strict, hierarchical authoritarianism in smaller groups - especially within families and households. Some hierarchical, authoritarian societies didn't have police either.
Not saying that's what you were saying, but it's more for other readers to not confuse such ideas as "Egalitarian = No cops" or "Egalitarian = No money" etc. Truth is we can have whatever society we want, they're all just playground rules at the end of the day. The ultimate truth is we choose the society we want every day with our actions, the way we treat others, and our politics. The State is just copium for people who wish to believe someone or something is in control, when in reality we live in a perpetual state of anarchy.
Seriously...
If we are to learn from history, and the successes of various resistance groups in Europe when occupied by the Nazis, we would learn that targetting the higher ups and figureheads don't work. What DOES work, is targeting the workers - the average people who facilitate the machine. When the architect of the holocaust was assassinated, it only sped things up and made it worse. So instead resistance groups started doing drive bys on average ol' Deborah's and Johns who was employed to operate the Nazi bureaucracy, do the paperwork, doing the monitoring, doing the deliveries, average folk who worked for them - as destabilizing the machinery is far more effective than targeting figureheads. As leftists know so well - it's the workers that do all the work.
So rather than shooting Musk, it will genuinely be more effective to shoot at Tesla/SpaceX/X employees until they stop showing up to work. Same goes for banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, healthcare insurance companies, etc. They don't even have security detail. There's a million other jobs they could be doing, real work like helping to rebuild, instead they choose to make these demons dreams come true in exchange for a financial bribe. As my atheist father would say about religion - "I fear not the cult leader, but the millions who follow them." Workers and employees of these companies are just as fair, and empirically more effective targets than the billionaire CEOs.
...In a videogame, of course. I would never incite ~~self-defence~~ violence.
Imagine fighting and risking your life in a foreign country on behalf of a pedophile.
Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who's gonna stop them?
Wow, $11 trillion is a lot. Really puts the $36 trillion sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective (yet seems to be missing from every conversation about money.)
They're MAGA Gestapo, it should be in the countries interest in national security to shoot them on sight (but alas, shooting Nazis is illegal now.)
The 'based' part wasn't that they showed up to protest. It was that they potentially sacrificed their job, endangered their own comfort and security, to stand up for a moral code and take a side. Something that escapes centrists/fascists.
He stood up to American traitors better than any American ever did.
Ah yes, because a video of a Nazi salute isn't antisemetic but a jewish college student protesting apartheid and wearing a keffiyeh is! What a time to be alive!
Seriously where is the next Luigi? I know you're out there, forget the school and it's bullies or the mall full of mindless drones, or any of you who are seriously considering taking your own life, if you're willing to do that then you're willing to do anything right? Don't be a villain, be a hero.
I'm afraid to tell you that, so far, Luigi is the only American with some balls.
