Now I need to see a photo shop of a Post brand cereal named Nut Clarity, with picture of fuzzy almonds floating in milk.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

But the clarity is getting shot in self defense

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Why would you us a bow? Range is poor, and lethality is also low, esp. with the access the the ultra-wealthy have to medicine. When you hunt deer with a bow, you can usually expect to have to follow a blood trail, as it's rarely an instant drop.

Use a .300 Winchester magnum from 1000 yards; at that distance, you still have about 850 foot-pounds of energy, which is roughly double a 9mm at point black range. With the right ammo, that's more than enough to get the job done. You probably want a combined mechanical and ammunition accuracy of about .5 MOA range though, so that you have deviation of less than 6" at that range. It's a challenging shot, but it's definitely doable if you know your holds and can call the wind.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Because it'll probably hurt more.

Bows can be roughly created from easily available materials, making it impossible to ban the ownership of.

[-] within_epsilon@beehaw.org 1 points 23 hours ago

Banning ownership becomes a game of catch. Use whatever you have: 7.62x51mm, arrows, rocks, ect.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 points 22 hours ago

And you can swap scopes depending on, uh, context.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago

You shouldn't need to. .300 Win mag is long action, so you're going to be using a bolt action rifle. There's not going to be too many contexts where you're going to want to swap out the scope for anything other than fairly long range.

Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago

ah but we know who they are no? that means we can find them.

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 21 points 2 days ago

I hope your bow skills are enough to kill their armed bodyguards first.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

During revolutionary conditions a lot of bodyguards end up, you know... taking stock of where their class interests lie, if you know what I mean.

[-] cowardsgfy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

definitely an angle

i can learn

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

I bet a couple dead goons would convince the rest to find safer employment. They do that job because they know there's very little risk protecting some rich asshole

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I hear there are ways to track their private jets...

On a completely unrelated note: Ukraine has been modding off the shelf drones for aerial recon and munitions deployment.

I don't think that particular game is hunted on the streets.

They have meticulously maintained resorts, islands, megayachts, etc for exact purpose.

It's no proper sport tho, once the staff stops protecting them, they just stand there sucking their thumbs.

But it's still fully worth it, once the kill is done & the empire (for at least a moment) falls, nature can't believe what just finally happened, etc.

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago

tactical raids on those properties.

let's have it out.

I always fall asleep thinking of that scene in dark Knight rises where people are raiding the rich homes. Lovely

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

The true clarity is class consciousness :3

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I get the violent rhetoric, I really do. But, at the same time, I can't help but feel like more people would be more amenable to social reform that benefits the little guy to the mere detriment of the rich, rather than murdering them horribly. I could be wrong, but doesn't history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

[-] ericatty@infosec.pub 1 points 11 hours ago

I mean, Kamala is running on policies that would help the little guy. And she might lose to guy who SA's women and said he could shoot someone in the street.

If she wins and we get a peaceful transfer of power, then I'll have more faith in your dream.

But right now, it seems like violence is what the masses crave over social reform.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

counterpoint:

in all seriousness, no it doesn't. that's whitewashing by liberals. good revolutions are often still violent. because guess what, if you want to challenge power, power doesn't just fucking let you do whatever you want.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

power doesn’t just fucking let you do whatever you want.

No, but power can be subverted. Maybe I'm hopelessly optimistic, but I think there's still a non-violent solution.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

not if history is any indication.

[-] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Ok but the rich, and tgerefore powerful will block said reform or even weaponize it. We're at 40 years of losses for the little-guy. We're down to the bone and they're still cutting while the pigs still feed at the public through

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

Nope! Look at the life expectancy increases under socialist countries, they mathematically have less death!

Also compare red terrors casualty numbers to standard operating casualty numbers. Like 20 million people die of capitalism caused deprivation a year worldwide today.

[-] dyc3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I agree 100%. I'm as left as probably most people here, but I just don't understand why the first course of action is to claw the opps eyes out.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

I understand. I throw obscene amounts of money at the cash black hole that is rent. I understand entirely how people think that people who make money simply by sitting on assets they own and otherwise provide nothing to society should be, ahem, obliterated. I just think it's still possible to obliterate them with regulations instead of actual murder.

[-] daltotron@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

I would like to point out that this is just what robin hood is

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 14 points 2 days ago

I just rewatched some Hawkeye episodes. I'm down with this. brb got to make some more special arrows.
