Don't get me wrong, I'm all for composting elon, but that alone won't change much.
Never forget - we are many, they are few, there is enough composting to go around, but more importantly, we need to already be creating the foundations for an alternative, better, society, so that when we abolish the systems that currently govern ours, we have a solid and equitable framework to fall back on and build from.
I suppose beating him to death with a trash bag full of 9v batteries on live TV might set the right example.
Sure, but that wouldn't take a whole line of individuals, that wold take a well organised group of a dozen or two, while more groups of a dozen or two go give the other billionaires a visit with their own trash bag, and others go and give some politicians a visit, and some bigger groups take control of the means of production, all while the largest chunk of working class people build the medical and educational and communal support that they need to pull all of that off and come back to once they're done.
I know beating elon up sounds like masses of fun to masses of people, but it isn't your revolution ("your" the individual, not you personally), it's ours. If you're genuinely that enthusiastic about being the one to pull the trigger, there will be plenty of opportunity, but you'll have a much better shot at it if you organise with others (E: even if we go on this being the imaginary world in the comic where the purge is real, if you think in that scenario he wouldn't have pentagon level security and mow all the people with their bags of batteries down with machine guns, you've not been paying attention).
It may not change much, but damn would it ever feel good.
It’ll put some healthy fear into the ones remaining, and nobody said it had to stop there. it’s just a nice place to get started.
It won't stop there, because it won't start there.
I get that it's fun to imagine, but even in an imagined purge reality doing what is in the comic will only end with a queue of dead people, not a dead musk.
Without uniting and organising you're not going to put any fear in to anyone (at most, you'll get some other rich people to get even better security like after what Luigi did before they move on with their lives, but you wouldn't, because you'd never get through the already existing security the world's richest man can afford).
The first step to actually changing things is to unlearn the toxic individualism indoctrinated in us by capitalism (among many other things of course) and realising that our power lays in unity.
Why do we need to wait for the purge?
Can’t miss an opportunity to form a nice orderly queue, of course.
You can always take the player two approach.
That could be any Elon.
A better one to start on would be Peter Thiel.
Musk is just the dancing monkey.
the working class will never win a civil war
the only way to get rid of the rich is to shoot them to mars.
I like the comic. But also, in what world is waking up with the sun visibly up in the sky "the early bird"? My wife and I are up at 4:00 a.m. everyday, not because I want to be. That's just the early bird life. And you know, the job of people who serve breakfast (she does).
He's not talkin about the time of day, but the fact he's headed out for the purge three days in advance.
All laws are suspended during the purge.
Just cut in line.
Just because laws are suspended doesn't mean common decency is.
I hope he can get his spot back in the bread line.
Awww come on, the more the merrier!
Elon is rarely at his house anyway.
