I have the impression that Musk wants to be the 'Black Goat with a Thousand Young'.

Yup. The great issue with capitalism, is that it wasn't formally designed to enrich society as a whole. It merely is an upgraded iteration of feudalism. You can give a pig a top hat and monocle, but it is still a pig.

We will need a new Constitution, one built to acknowledge that Economics is power. The framers addressed politics and violence, but overlooked the fundamental impact that money has on society. Floors and ceilings on wealth should be implemented, so that the likes of Musk or Trump cannot exist.

An Oligarchic Republic, your wealth determines how many votes you get. In this system, the 99% of poor voters are shit.

We will need wealth floors and ceilings in a revised Constitution in order to get rid of this issue. Economics, politics, and violence, are just different faces of power. The great mistake of the Founding Fathers was failing to recognize that money needs checks and balances, else it runs out of control.

Nah, Bin Laden couldn't do this. He didn't own media empires or any kind of business in America. The likes of Thiel, Musk, Trump, DeSantis, and so forth are the true architects of America's death. They are the embodiment of the saying...

"Better to rule over hell, than to serve in heaven."

For my part, I just assume that I wouldn't be fun, and simply stay away from other humans when possible. I can't really enjoy being a protagonist of romance VNs anymore, because I am aware of how unlikable I am. Reality intrudes on fantasy, turning the dream into a nightmare.

As a dweller, I would like more basement to keep me and humanity separated, never to see each other again.

Probably would have become a Bob Ross type of artist, rather than a avatar of hatred.

That is a pretty handy skillset. Many people are going to need advice in the years ahead.

It is from RFK's hole: The cavity where a worm starved to death.

My money is on martial law, and the summary removal or execution of Boasberg.

Wish I was being sarcastic, but the odds of martial law or war being declared on Hitler's birthday - the 20th, are far too likely for my taste. It would be within Trump's character to simply murder his foes, regardless of their place in society.

Vivian Wilson deserves to live. Just because she has a shitty excuse of a father, doesn't mean that his sins are hers to inherit. It is a choice of the children whether their parent's beliefs live on.

I view both peaceful and violent protest to be tools meant to work together. The hammer of violence and the anvil of peace, shaping the politics of yore into something more useful.

Problem is, the media and education in America has solely emphasized peaceful movements, while ignoring or downplaying the value of violence. This is a deliberate effort made by evil oligarchs and naive peaceniks, whose reasons happen to align with the result.

Al Greene, Jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, and Saikat Chakrabarti. When Trump starts to openly murder American citizens, I expect many fired military leaders will suddenly be leading National Guards.
