  Back? wait… what did you think US suburbs were designed for then?

    I get the analogy, but these are literal moats of water surrounding an owners land we are talking about.

  it’s almost like they’re realizing they live on the same planet as all the poors

    It’s us poors that need to realize how proximate we really are to the parasitic class.

  I like trebuchets. They were really popular a while back.

    I’ve heard that guillotines could be making a comeback.

    Obviously, these are different contraptions for different purposes but with the same basic aim in mind.

  When met with walls and steel gates, just use your cannon, as the founding fathers intended.

  Moats, and with climate change being what it is? American alligators are about to be as common as chickens before too long.

  I suppose the ones who buy entire islands have a chance at raising their own food, and producing clean water, but the rest of them are vulnerable to an old fashion siege, to go along with their moat.

    I should practice building a trebuchet…

    Yeah, if they’re wanting to do the old castle thing, they forget castles had funny things like ways to produce food and unblockable access to clean water.

    When they hide in a bunker, just bury the bunker.

      I just had a brief fantasy of immigrant laborers bricking up the gate, then backing dozens of cement trucks to the walls of these compounds and filling the whole fucking thing.

      Archeologists hundreds of years from now will have a field day with these sites.

  I’m pretty sure a tomato and a slingshot could still touch them.

    Seems like a wasted opportunity though.

  How are their defenses against suicide drones? What about human shit dropping drones? Bomb dropping drones?

  If it’s a war they want

    They’ll have radar, and antiaircraft artillery.
