    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.

    Personally, I like to modify that quote. “Those who make peaceful reform impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable.”

    Okay. Ask yourself this - who actually has the ability to exact force here? The workers night theoretically have weapons and the right to bear arms, sure. Functionally, that right means nothing compared to the ability to use it by the police, PMCs, security details, the Guard & the Reserve.

    We get lucky sometimes like the incident in New York City where a man shot a CEO, for which an innocent man was arrested. But they respond with things like Hochul placing police as security whenever a C-Suite officer is in public, or additional investment to the security industry.

    I wish that could change, but raw numbers don’t equate to the ability to exact force.

    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.
