Many people like to say that if they had a time machine they would go back and kill Hitler or some other valiant act of heroism that would prevent the death of millions.

Yet when faced with the real possibility of killing (or even just properly holding accountable - removal from society, redistribution of resources of) an individual now, who is already responsible for millions of deaths by virtue of withholding resources alone, never mind the active oppression and exploitation of billions that go in to maintaining the system that allows them their power, people suddenly become squeamish.

But not even at the idea of them doing it, but at the idea of anyone doing it (to the point of actively opposing it), and that’s just so fucking frustrating, that people can’t see the glaringly obvious dictators “of tomorrow”, who already literally control everything and are actively getting away with a lot shit directly out of the fascist playbook today, how anyone can still deny it to themselves just blows my mind.

We’re never going to get a better future as long as so many people refuse to accept that we’re never going to be given it by those living the high life off of our backs.

I don’t understand the increasingly aggressive ads. When I see a company advertising heavily I get sketched out and assume they have subpar product.

DItto.

I’ll start hunting ad executives for sport.

Anyone who’s played Cyberpunk 2077 might remember the big ads projected into the sky above the city. It adds a really cool dystopian atmosphere to the game.

In real life it would be a nightmare come true.

So what do you think is going on in the prime universe?

This is such a stupid idea on so many levels but mostly because it’s functionally impossible. The amount of satellites that would need to be launched in order to be able to form a visible image from the surface of the Earth would be prohibitively expensive and complicated to organise. They would all crash into each other within about 15 minutes - because orbits are inherently chaotic, and because of the ultra low altitude they’d have to maintain to make it remotely visible, they would burn up in the atmosphere almost instantly.

Basically no one with even a high school level education is actually proposing this.

This is basically just rage bate.

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.

If these are drones and someone does this irl I’m going to shoot them down

With any luck, hackers will turn them into penises

Full terrorist might be a bit much, but I wouldn’t be opposed to punching holes in packaging of the advertised products.

If the trend caught on at a large enough scale to just mildly vandalize space-billboard products, that shit would stop in a hurry.

…hell we should do that with regular billboards too - gimme my scenery back!

It’s never too early to be an eco-terrorist

This is the first time I’ve seen the original tweet without Johnny Silverhand

Shotguns ftw

I had the very same gut response as Lauren.

death to those fucking soulless bastards
