I mean, historically speaking un-tactical raids (pitchforks & torches) worked, however they did buy up a lot more police/military personnel since then.
Why would you us a bow? Range is poor, and lethality is also low, esp. with the access the the ultra-wealthy have to medicine. When you hunt deer with a bow, you can usually expect to have to follow a blood trail, as it's rarely an instant drop.
Use a .300 Winchester magnum from 1000 yards; at that distance, you still have about 850 foot-pounds of energy, which is roughly double a 9mm at point black range. With the right ammo, that's more than enough to get the job done. You probably want a combined mechanical and ammunition accuracy of about .5 MOA range though, so that you have deviation of less than 6" at that range. It's a challenging shot, but it's definitely doable if you know your holds and can call the wind.
You shouldn't need to. .300 Win mag is long action, so you're going to be using a bolt action rifle. There's not going to be too many contexts where you're going to want to swap out the scope for anything other than fairly long range.
I'm not against but I feel like we have to establish boundaries. Like how rich is rich game? Is a weathy dude huntable? What about people that won the lotery? I Imagine billionaires are the better target right?!
As with any hunt, the biggest ones are the most impressive. Nobody's going to commend you for taking down a scrawny one when there are billion point bucks out there.
I loathe this runaway capitalist system we live in just as much as the next but this violent rhetoric is getting a bit too spicy. Let's tax the owning class into oblivion. Take away their undeserved wealth and make them work for a living like the rest of us. Riot and rebel if our lives depend on it. But these calls for the outright slaughter of other human beings are going too far.
The owner class wrote the rules and will never give up one iota of power. If we want positive change, meaningful progress, it won't be from working within the system.
History only teaches one lesson and it teaches it very plainly: no progress is made without bloodshed. The blood of the worker class has already been spilled, millions of times over.
Capitalists can choose to give up their property and become workers like the rest of us, or they can get the wall and then their property is redistributed. The capitalist class has colonized our society, and their enforcers are the police. And according to Franz Fanon's books on anticolonial struggle in Algeria, colonial relations never go away unless fought with anticolonial violence to oppose the violence of the colonizers. Ultimately, violence is what is needed to force those in power to give up their wealth, and if they gave up their wealth willingly then violence would not be necessary.
I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can't help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn't history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?
Ok but the rich, and tgerefore powerful will block said reform or even weaponize it. We're at 40 years of losses for the little-guy. We're down to the bone and they're still cutting while the pigs still feed at the public through
but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?
Nope! Look at the life expectancy increases under socialist countries, they mathematically have less death!
Also compare red terrors casualty numbers to standard operating casualty numbers. Like 20 million people die of capitalism caused deprivation a year worldwide today.
in all seriousness, no it doesn't. that's whitewashing by liberals. good revolutions are often still violent. because guess what, if you want to challenge power, power doesn't just fucking let you do whatever you want.
I understand. I throw obscene amounts of money at the cash black hole that is rent. I understand entirely how people think that people who make money simply by sitting on assets they own and otherwise provide nothing to society should be, ahem, obliterated. I just think it's still possible to obliterate them with regulations instead of actual murder.
I mean, Kamala is running on policies that would help the little guy. And she might lose to guy who SA's women and said he could shoot someone in the street.
If she wins and we get a peaceful transfer of power, then I'll have more faith in your dream.
But right now, it seems like violence is what the masses crave over social reform.
You're only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it's money-horney talking in you.
And most of the days that's what lemmy sounds like "I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there's an equal distribution of girls among all of us".
We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you'll never convince me that you're neither jealous nor horny.
Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops ...and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.... do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?
That's the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.
That doesn't even address whether there's a market in human meat and wealthy traders... And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario....
This fantasy you people have is nothing but sociopathy.
What "rich" are you trying to kill and eat? Just, anyone that you have judged to have more than you have? It's not like you will be able to get to the people at the very top. And what, you just murder those that you have labeled "rich" along the way?
My brother makes more than I do. MUCH MORE. I would never want to see him and his family murdered by douche bags out of jealousy for the things he has been able to work hard to achieve. And he has worked hard all of his life to make it to where he is now!
Do you guys have some sort of test to see who should and shouldn't be murdered just because they have more than you do?
