The first 0.1%er to die wont be the beginning of their downfall. It will be the beginning of corporate extraterritorial privilege. Corporate armed bodyguards will be afforded the same qualified immunity as police. Why would the government allow this? Because who would be next on the chopping block after the billionaires? Them so a politician walking down the street wouldnt have to fear being egged or assaulted because if you shove your hand into your pocket near them the worst that can happen is they have to pay a wrongful death settlement when their bodyguard shoots you and the bootlickers will endorse it because “everyone should have the right to protect themselves” and the masses wont kick and scream because they never do.
I know your thinking thats not how a revolution works, 2 guys with guns isnt that scary we have numbers! Tomorrow its 4 guys with sub machine guns and the week after it looks like a PMC convoy in Falujah. Yeah you might get them, but who is volunteering to be in the front row trying to charge down a mounted belt fed machine gun on an SUV?
How many people do you know who cant tell the difference between the “upper middle class” and the uber-rich? People who wouldnt be able to differenciate between killing someone for driving an Audi vs the CEO of the Volkswagen-Audi group? It would descend very fast into checkpoints into certain neighbourhoods and gated communities with heavily armed guards.
