    Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!

    I dream of a world where whenever these ‘leaders’ and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

        They’re are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

          This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

          That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

          People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

          It’s not enough

            You’re dead serious. I’m joking. It’s not that I take the situation lightly, but it’s a blessing to behave so lightly in such a situation.

            That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

            No need for bets. I’m sure that’s what will happen. The elites know it too and they’re building secret bunkers to escape it. Currently they are stretching the divide and rule tactic as far as it can, by getting the ordinary men and women to fight each other. But they know that it won’t work forever.

            However, I must warn you. The results won’t be as clean and just as you imagine it to be. Angry people yearn for vengeance, not justice. It won’t stop until a lot of innocent blood is also spilt. That’s what happened in the French Revolution too.

            People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death. It’s not enough

            The same people won’t seek other solutions until a tragedy is inevitable. Whenever I speak a solution that can recover our economy before it goes south, the same ordinary people scoff at me saying it’s wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that it has been implemented successfully several times in the past as a measure of resistance.

        Ropes are cheaper yet and work just fine. And they don’t deserve better than the short drop.
