As chonglibloodsport said, it's a numbers game.
When you have enough enemies, and keep making more, you're going to keep getting people who have had enough and don't care about the risk.
If it weren't for the "Russian suicide", putin would have been black bagged long ago by someone who WOULD.
What's insane to me is that someone clearly looked for a list of people to find a REAL name, but didn't bother checking if the owner of that name was still alive and able to say "hey that isn't me, they're lying about being me"
Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.
That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!
Guy with glasses here, no problem reading any of it.
Perhaps it's time to schedule an optometry appointment?
Either way, rude and unnecessary. You do your username a disservice. Not shiny at all. When Mal is rude, it's deserved.
I once drove a decked out panto with a friend of mine around the downtown area, so imagine two pantos (fiat panda) all tricked out to look like something you would see in a hot wheels box or need for speed game, bombing around town, literally doing circles around other players.
Armored up so they would have to break out explosives to kill us, but since we weren't trying to hit anyone, or shoot anyone, just driving around and whenever someone was stopped just circle a few times and move on.
Within half an hour we had about 10 people in a Panto convoy doing the same thing with varying levels of success. Sometimes it looked like a well choreographed dance, but mostly it was a cluster fuck of cars trying not to hit each other as we vibe and cruise.
Then someone came in with a jet and ruined our fun.
I always see people commenting on stories like this with things like "how does anyone actually believe that/think anyone will believe that?"
Well, that's exactly the point. It's not about the death being convincingly accidental. It's very much about sending a message to others.
You don't eliminate the competition and agitators with the exact same method of execution for 30+ years (with a few false-flag apartment bombings thrown in for good measure) and expect to keep things covert.
The only way they could make it more obvious is the "he hogtied himself, ate a cyanide capsule, jumped out the window and shot himself twice in the back of the head on the way down" trope.
Goddamn cardies....
Why couldn't they have just gone with the traditional 47 earthquakes, 23 asteroids, 2 tsunamis, and an alien invasion like the rest of us? At least that's quick.
WOAH, you can't just go full vulcanface like that, it's racist and not cool, man!
We absolutely CAN hold them accountable, but most people aren't ready for that conversation yet.
And any hint of it immediately draws all the people talking about how we should take the moral high road (that's filled with corpses of people doing the same thing) and not resort to violence or even inconvenient protests
Well my days of not taking lemmy comments seriously are certainly coming to a middle
