  But can they really trust their guards? What guard wouldn’t want to have the nickname the kingslayer?

  • artifex@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s why they’ll fit their guards with death collars to prevent them from getting ideas.

      Where do you buy death collars from?

      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.

      Delicious. Where I live (Auburn WA, represent!) the copper and the plumbing feeding into the property would be stripped and sold for pennies on the dollar for fenty. And then when a food or repair truck comes for resupply, the nanosecond the driver leaves the truck, it’s gone. Jacked. Bye bye. Those rich aholes gun starve to death yo

  Castles often weren’t conquered by forcefully breaking through the walls but rather by keeping them under the siege until their inhabitants either surrender or die.

  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 that they themselves want to do, are preparing to do, or are ALREADY DOING.

  Mark my words:

  The rich are preparing to exterminate us all.

  source

  • Soup@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • Draegur@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.

  • fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    They want you alive. And supple to their desires.

    • Draegur@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.

      If they went to that much trouble it’s either the direction of another property probably owned by a shell nearby or it’s a large piece of land and you’ll need ground penetrating radar or a ditch witch.

  if only, and stay with me here, if only there was some contraption invented since we last had moats around castle, i don’t know, something that can fly in the air and carry, oh i don’t know, bags of shit over these moats and into the castles, maybe even more of it at the same time like swarms of bees, maybe we could even name it after them like bee, or worker, or drone, or something. that would be something, I tell ya!
