Elon Musk needs to be stopped.
It's spelled with ch, not st
To pieces you say
To shreds and pieces you say
Smitheries you say?
No, it's not good to chop people up, no matter how much you hate them. Elon should be stopped. That's it. Stop acting "hard" on the internet. It makes you look stupid.
Edit: All the wannabe sicarios in the comments will wilt like the bitch-made invertebrates they are when actually faced with the prospect of dismembering a person. If they don't, they're psychopaths who need psychiatric treatment.
Elon's actions are going to kill an untold number of people. What institution or legal action is going to stop him?
One can successfully oppose enemies of a free and open society without resorting to gruesomely killing them (i.e., "chopping them up").
I guarantee you'll wilt like a leaf if you had to chop him up. If that prospect doesn't give you any pause, you're a psychopath.
How exactly? You didn't even attempt to answer my question. Elon's coup hasn't faced any effective resistance.
Once again: gruesomely killing Elon Musk isn't a viable, practical, nor moral solution to preventing his dismantling of our federal republic.
To answer your "straw-man" question and play your game: wildcat or general strike, armed revolution, or insurgency. Striking is the solution with the least potential bloodshed.
Good luck trying cut up Musk with a machete or trying to fight the US military domestically which uses Predator drones armed with Hellfire missiles, not to mention fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft and Apache gunships. Even if you succeed getting to him and chopping him up, guess what? You're still a psychopath because only psychopaths willingly dismember people.
Chop up Elon. Eat the rich. I wasn't hard before, but I am now!
stopped isn't the word most of us would use
Stopping power is a phrase that comes to mind. Muzzle velocity also.
