    They’re also the rebel army that builds guillotines. Kind of like there’s a fine line between a solid rocket and a bomb.

      Make no mistake, the game the ruling class has always played has been: “how do I abuse these people just enough to keep them desperate, without overstepping and leaving them with no choice but to rebel?” Lately, the children, and grandchildren of the ogliarchs who knew how to play this game have been taking over as their predecessors age out, and, in their hubris, have been over reaching in acts of entitlement. They, like many of us, have failed to recognize the game for what it is and it is already causing the deaths of many people. At this rate, it will spark visible war. Luigi was one man, and there have been many more like him brewing since.
