        It isn’t as simple as blowing up a couple of buildings anymore. Mr. Robot showed it perfectly—save the world and the world just keeps on preserving the status quo.

          Maybe so, but I’m still surprised someone hasn’t tried it. It’s not like that’s something everyone understands.

            I think it’s coming. The newest generation will probably be willing to take some major risks. Millennials and gen Z were raised with hope but I don’t think that idea was passed down.

            I think apathy, hopelessness and rage let people do violence and there’s a lot of that going around now.

        I’ve often thought that the fastest way to get real gun control in this country would be to shoot up a bunch of board rooms
