I'm going to be blunt about this.

We're going to see the ultrawealthy become targets of drone attacks conducted by people who have terminal illnesses and nothing to lose.

I predict that we'll see a movement start where people who get diagnosed with a fast acting terminal illness that gives them a few weeks to months of relatively high functionality followed by a quick downward decline -- like say a brain tumour decide to kamikaze against the people they feel have wronged them and their kin gravely.

People will use something like this[0] to evade detection but won't really give a shit if they get caught because they'll be dead in a few months.

Even if they don't have access to such technology they can always just use a firearm like we've seen people try on Trump and Charlie Kirk and that Healthcare CEO guy with relative success.

I'm amazed that Peter Thiel is giving talks about the antichrist at the Vatican. I've seen relatively recent videos of him walking down the street with only a security guard or two[1], and they seem completely unprepared for any sort of attack on them from someone with a firearm or a drone.

It's like these people genuinely don't understand how destructive their actions are viewed as by society and the bubbling resentment and rage that is growing towards them.

I'm not sure what the defense against such a movement is. I guess maybe fixing wealth inequality and giving people at least the impression of greater participation in our democratic system?

This[2] is the vibe right now and it's only growing stronger by the day.

Ministry of the Future beat you to the punch with victims of human driven climate change shooting down thousands of private planes with drones as protest.

		One of the biggest fantasies in that book is that the "protesters" would be so unified and ethical in their plots. In real life the attacks in response to climate change(and in this case, economic injustice), will be committed by such an uncountable plurality of groups that the violence will seem almost capricious.
