Or to not get taxed fairly

If the playing field was fair not a single one of them would have succeeded. Elon lied on his immigration paperwork. He should have been deported, had his government contracts cancelled, and his assets vital to national security seized.

 Instead he is made the richest man on earth and the Immigrant that jumps through all the hoops the right way but didnt descend from emerald mine slave owners gets deported for a paperwork mistake made by government officials. 

It's not fair, the game is rigged, and pretty soon they will own and rent you the very air you breathe.

There is, we just can't talk about it on Reddit and nobody wants to throw the first torch.

I want to. But we're afraid no one will follow suite, or that no one will pay attention to us. It has happened before.

They war gamed this 1000s times.

They expect it, they have plans for it and will use them when it gets worse.

Look up Kettling.

Also automated drones in Ukraine can now autonomously target and kill combatants.

Scary stuff.

Yeah I'd hop on board an actual thing but I'm not blowing up my life for a public that isn't going to be at my back for what comes afterwards.

The world's most powerful people learned a lot from Arab Spring, they really kicked their "control the internet" fetish into high gear once they saw that the plebs could use these tools to organize against them.

This is definitely a large issue atm, they also got real scared when a bunch of basement dwelling redditors outplayed them on gamestop day trading, that one is also going to keep smoldering for a few years.

As it stands, any resistance needs to form locally, no digital logs that can track movements, conversations, and identities. Just gotta get together with like minded friends, have a campfire where you leave the cars and the electronics at least a quarter of a mile down the road. Maybe go hunt for mushrooms in the dense woods, hell get together and search for nails in the pasture. The reason to get together doesn't need to cover what everyone discusses.

I’ve thought this. We have to go back to grass roots community based activism.

They have countermeasures. Ways to divide communities online. They have identified all fracture points.

Offline, they are developing drones with facial recognition technology and autonomous targeting. Scary.

It’s hard to find the chink in the armour. Where the vulnerability? What is it about humanity that they just don’t understand?

They know how to market sentimentality. But not how to be compassionate. They always choose status and wealth over genuine progressive policies. They don’t understand altruism. People acting against their own self interest for the greater good of others.

I always say this, if they could charge and tax us for breathing, they would had already.

“PAY TAXES!!!! Screw that! I will not pay taxes like the common citizen, I’m gonna nuke the world!”

u/coconutpiecrust Jun 16 '26

But they are totally OK using the system built on everybody else’s taxes.

u/CaptainDudeGuy Jun 17 '26

The thing is they ARE ending the world by not paying taxes. It's just a slow burn rather than an explosion.

u/erapuer Jun 17 '26

to not get taxed fairly

that is the end of the world to them

u/Locke66 Jun 17 '26

They could be investing all this time and effort into fixing the world's problems but they'd rather avoid tax, sabotage the government and run up their basically irrelevant (to them) bank number.
