Capitalist scumbags live in golden prisons of their own making.
Meanwhile I can go almost anywhere on the planet alone without any major problems.

What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Coward's gonna cow
Lmao Apartheid Clyde's gonna be upside down on a lamp post one day <3
That's what happens when you're an unlikable piece of shit who's irresponsible actions ruins peoples lives irl
Any history buffs?
Is there any similarities to Praetorian Guard with the rise of private security for these rich?
Like wasn't Rome at some point actually controlled by Praetorian Guards in secret because they were so powerful that the emperors couldn't defy them.
Don't be a complete piece of shit and you won't need an army of bodyguards.
Stalkers = women demanding child support.
It's wild to me how Musk is proving (just like Trump is) how fundamentally weak and small he is.
Fred Rogers never had to travel with a single bodyguard.
Is he still using his own child as a human shield?
He probably forgot him somewhere again
All the top-of-the-billionaires do. Zuck, Gates, Bezos, all have 24/7 security. You can see them lurking around in many of the photos.

I sometimes ask myself if 90% of Lemmy consists of hobby-revolutionaries....
No shortage of tough talk on the internet
For sure. Look at Twitter, chok full of shit talkers. The owner's the worst of the flock, I hear.
Remember when UHC got shot, musk started using one of his children as a human shield. He would often hold the shield in front of him, Everytime he does a press release
How many guards?
Never more than 20.
”Homicidal maniacs”? Do they need to be maniacs?
Imagine if someone had travelled to the past to kill Hitler, failed, and then Hitler would include them in his speeches: "I already survived a homicidal maniac!".
Not a single one of them would take a bullet for him.
if we're lucky one might feel righteous one day and give him one.
His bodyguards must be lucky all the time, whereas...
I mean... There is a non-zero chance he might get Luigied....
Poor term to use, since Luigi is an Elon fanboy.
man i can only dream
You can still do it!
it's almost like championing certain 'activists' and then being shocked when people don't like you is a predictable outcome. who'd have thought.
Not xSecurity?
