That's sort of a version of an old Soviet joke...

A Soviet man is waiting in line to purchase vodka from a liquor store, but due to restrictions imposed by Gorbachev, the line is very long. The man loses his composure and screams, "I can't take this waiting in line anymore, I HATE Gorbachev, I am going to the Kremlin right now, and I am going to kill him!" After 40 minutes the man returns and elbows his way back to his place in line. The crowd begin to ask if he has succeeded in killing Gorbachev. "No, I got to the Kremlin all right, but the line to kill Gorbachev was even longer than here!"

(I heard a different version with Khrushchev, but I'm sure it was told a lot.)

In a world where The Purge exists, you think Elon wouldn't have automated security guns and maybe even actual robot terminators? Have you seen those movies? The rich fuckers are always the ones who come out on top, except the one time a poor person fucked up one of their murder orgies after almost being murdered.

Just wait until The Purge happens, then you can legally skip in line 👍

I like the idea that all of these people are at a truce because they all want to kill Elon and they're all like, "okay, first this guy, then we do the real Purge."

Or just hang 600 yards of braided fishing line manja string everywhere and take a nap and then collect loot. Technical pacifism
