I'm not saying that we should start getting pitchforks or anything right now. I'm just saying that like, they need to know that that is an option and that if they keep pushing us, they're gonna start painting targets on their own back.

I mean, that's two billionaires down in a year, and they're still ramping things up. Next year, it'll be four. The year after that, it'll be eight. And in like 15 years, we won't have any billionaires left unless they fucking straighten up an act right.

Sometimes they will act if they fear for their moneys.

With that said it bothers me that they will always look to strike a deal with the more pacifist/less disruptive parts of a movement in order to neutralise the threat.

Which in theory means it's useless to actually aim for a reasonable goal but rather you need to overshoot by a fair bit in order for the deal to land anywhere near what you believe is decent.

BUT when you overshoot you come across as disillusioned and a lot of people will distance from you, making any movement impossible.
