You’d be better off taking someone out as a lone actor tbh, the French Revolution was similary driven by liberal populism (in Paris at least) and concluded with a dictatorship that reproduced many social inequities prior to the Revolution.
That catharsis is exactly what I’m warning against, as warranted as it is. Systemic change (doesn’t have to be gradual) is less glorious and satisfying, but we have abundant historical evidence that shows us structural failure cannot be resolved through individualized justice. This system has produced billionaires and despite the power they wield within it, they alone are not its means of reproduction.
So you are saying that because I didn’t build that guillotine yesterday already, I should start right now?

Thank you so much to take the time for that well articulated and thoughtful response. I’m gonna find out how to print a sniper rifle now.
