  • One way of thinking I guess… The other is that these people live in the imperial core and had these decisions largely thrust upon them. They’re indoctrinated. It’s a similar inclination to hating the descendants of Jews that the Nazis shipped to the burgeoning colony in Palestine in the lead up to the Holocaust. If we’re completely abandoned the idea that these people are reachable and can organize and avert the worst outcomes, then sure. I’m not so certain they’re unreachable though. A lot of them, even most of them, definitely are in my experience.




  • There’s absolutely people chomping at the bit but without reliable support I think they’ll not execute for various reasons. If there’s any self-preservation or doubt that the public will just acquit anyone for these kinds of actions (probably best odds are medical insurance CEOs). Doing it all alone and not getting caught is just so damn hard.

    Our hero really put themself out there. I’m wondering if they considered any other tools for the job. I hope we never find out, but did they know about the lack of security detail? If it seemed like they would be apprehended immediately, would they have waited for another opportunity? Maybe they have been close before, that would be something.
