      Whoever has a brain, a gun and less than $1 million in the bank. Hell, even some uber-rich folks might join the cause.

      And besides, if anyone has a gun problem, it’s America. Might as well make that bug into a feature. Y’know, wrong clock right twice or whatever.

      If the rulers end up getting shot and school shootings give way to senate, town hall and courtroom shootings, maybe a positive change would come. If nothing else, guns would get controlled which would mean less school shootings judging by the Brian Thompson case.

      And just to say - I’m not preaching political violence. What I am saying is that a bunch of dead adults is teeny tiny bit less terrible than a bunch of dead kids.

        What you’re describing is a systemic collapse, and I think that is the most likely scenario in the long run. I was merely pointing out that there is no path to hold the oligarchs accountable within the framework of the current system.
