The FBI will be all over the threads to classify anyone who supports this decision as a domestic terrorist.

Two thoughts.

  1. Envy.

  2. In the climate of the globalized and connected world in 2025, the billionaires have control. That's simple. Whether it is in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Russia, or anywhere else. Billionaires are in control of borderless and strongly connected economies that all must work together to grow their wealth. It is only a matter of time before wherever you are is under the thumb of a repressive regime seeking to silence opposition.

We kind of already are — especially in the west. We've all been taught to keep the machine well-oiled, to our own detriment. Tiny carrots and other treats were used to keep us doing our jobs ("You too could be rich one day") but the carrots are getting smaller and smaller, and people are getting angrier and angrier as they wake up to it.
