What about the £36 trillion in offshore tax havens as of 2016 which is probably much bigger now. That's not tied up into assets, that's liquid like a Well of Souls.

I only agree with the last 7 words, hard disagree with everything before that tho.

Yeah it's fucking wild the efforts they go through. Even if it's as discreet as a walk-by in a parking garage with a suppressed pistol or strangled in a car, there will be at least 10 people doing different jobs with zero knowledge of what the others are doing or what the end goal is, all doing a very simple task that any normal person could do with probable ignorance. Real life examples of how the mafia do hits are really intricate: You pay one guy to flatten a tire, you pay another guy to drive the tow truck, you pay another guy to ask them for directions to delay them a bit, you pay another guy to be an uber or taxi driver, you pay another guy to receive where the taxi/uber is going, this is all after paying probably a few other dudes to study their schedule and the schedule of their visitors/guests, pay another dude to get keep their neighbor or something distracted, pay another dude to take the shot and dip (source: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy). It's very expensive and time consuming, that's why organized hits don't happen a lot it's gotta be worth the investment. This would be much harder to pull off against someone with 24/7 secret service guard, but the CIA/FBI/Police are pros at pulling shit off like this.

And the competent ones (as in the ones with experience at creation local militias and terrorist organizations) are gonna be out there creating the resistance.

If... Let's say if... It'll take some planning, they wouldn't just do it willy nilly they gotta plan the hit, find the right assets, find the right areas, research, etc. it takes a lot of work to whack somebody it's not like The Sopranos or anything.

Yeah this communism thing sounds terrible. According to needs and ability? Like a meritocracy? Fuck that, lets find something that concentrates wealth into the hands of the few, like a monarchy or something...

I said that "Americans can vote for their future" and got banned lol.

Gonna take a lot more than "votes" to unfuck this situation.

Are you asking Americans to step up for their own safety and the safety of the world? We really are fucked.

If you take reality as evidence, MAGA did more to the point of guillotines than any liberal or leftist has. They brought gallows to the capitol ffs, tell me the last time leftists built gallows and chanted to hang members of the status quo. MAGA are ironically better at antiestablishmentarianism and revolutionary action than leftists are, that's not a praise for MAGA but a condemnation of leftist inaction.
