          Just to elaborate for the folks I’ve run into who doubt and downplay the worst of it - even if you remove the more lurid reports, the simple fact of “recruitment” for such a hideous enterprise, what accomplishing that requires - that is hunting humans for sport.

          Extending globally to identify and traffick vulnerable young people, targets meeting the right criteria to make it all “work”.

          No metaphors are needed, nor any reliance on anything remotely controversial in the files. Hunting humans for sport is exactly, dead on correct.

        First you have to get said guards (who are hired to protect you) to agree to wear those. Only a moron would agree to that. And sure they malfunction too. So be hard if you security is fucking disabled from your death collar to protect you. Rich people are not smart.

    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.
