Do you really believe that the sight of OP is terrifying enough to sow fear into the hearts of ex-military, likely war criminal, murderous mercenaries looking for an excuse to hurt people?
The sudden increase of big talk and calls for violence on Lemmy in the past few weeks is beyond cringey and is no better than the MAGA fucks on Xitter and Truth cosplaying as “Meal Team Six”. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you want to be a “martyr for the cause” by taking out some billionaire or fascist, that’s your choice. Buy a rifle, a pistol, and a knife and go train. Just don’t get on the Internet and start trying to convince others to do what you are incapable or unwilling to do.
CONTEXT: I used to live in Fort Walton Beach, home of disproportionate number of “private security” guys. I have been part of the tech sector at the executive level for many years, and I currently live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; home of an unusually high number of billionaires. I have met a lot of private security guys on the job or at the bar. Do not confuse them with rent-a-cops.
I’ve also worked for and with very wealthy people. The notion that they all have private military goons and secure bunkers is utter nonsense. Elon? Zuck? Sure, maybe. Not the lower level guys. You can literally bump into some of them on the street, because they don’t believe they have anything to fear.
How much do you think those guys really care about keeping some rich fuck safe? Enough to die for? I seriously doubt it.
No but enough to kill you

No idea, never met the guy.
While I don’t confuse them with rent a cops, I do question their dedication to the mission when the shit hits the fan.

Cool beans. Best of luck to you and your endeavors. Just don’t ask or incite others to do what you will not.
