    You need to be more alarmed about this.

    Conservatives (and the rich tend to side with conservatives) have no imagination and project their own intentions on others.

    I cannot possibly stress this enough:

    IF THEY THINK WE’RE GOING TO VIOLENTLY ATTACK THEM, IT’S SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE PREPARING TO ATTACK US THEMSELVES.

    They have THOROUGHLY demonstrated that they can’t imagine anyone wanting to do anything but that which they themselves want to do, are preparing to do, or are ALREADY DOING.

    Mark my words:

    The rich are preparing to exterminate us all.

      No, not exterminate, just control with even further violence. The rich are stupid and useless, but they do know that they need bodies to do their work for them, even if they’ll never admit it.

      This is, honestly, much worse because complacent people won’t fight back nearly as hard.

        No, they actually ARE seriously stupid enough to kill us all because these DENSE MOTHER FUCKERS honestly believe AI will do everything for them and that they don’t need bodies anymore.

      They don’t care about extermination. Lol. How do you exploit the dead?

      They want you alive. And supple to their desires.

        I’ve been thinking about this on and off for the past two weeks and you know what?

        You are being too kind and giving them too much credit.

        They aren’t THINKING that far.

        THESE DENSE MOTHER_FUCKERS_ HONESTLY BELIEVE AI WILL DO EVERYTHING FOR THEM

        AND THAT WE ARE ALL WORTHLESS

        NOT EVEN WORTH EXPLOITING.

        so yeah

        They aren’t even pretending anymore: cruelty literally is the point and they want us DEAD.

        So it’s not that they’re going to exterminate you as and kill you. They are going to exterminate your way of life to supplement their own

          But it’s barbaric for us to even think about our own self defense. Funny how that works. If it weren’t for double standards they’d have no standards what so ever.

            This is the main driver behind gun control in Canada post 2020. They keep saying they need new laws to honor the 14 young women shot dead in 1989 but in reality they stopped giving a fuck about all shooting victims a long time ago. They know it is going to get so bad that a landlord or corrupt politician is going to get shot and they want to forbid as many firearms as possible.

            The fact that some European countries are loosening up some restrictions to train their populations to shoot in light of Russian aggression should tell you that an armed populace absolutely has some deterrent effect. Not against air strikes, but against ground invasion. In Canada the army will not hold up for long against a US invasion, but they will fail in the long term against armed resistance. Carney even floated the idea of an armed resistance force, but he is still passing as many privacy violating laws as possible and sharing as much information as possible with both US governmental agencies and corporations. meaning if a US invasion happens the Americans will have a ready made list of all Canadians who might resist or have firearms permits or experience with the military or demolitions. We would be royally fucked.
