If you’re already in the blast radius of the current system, why would you care if it expands if you think it might include the people fucking you over in the first place?

I’m not disagreeing that there are problems that could result from this idea. I’m disagreeing with you on the idea that people are crazy for wanting this while there’s this class of people who do whatever they want whenever they want to the rest of us.

Like I pointed out with the French king loosing his head during the French Revolution. The fact that one of those people had consequences is worth it to a lot of people even if it means the rest of the noble class is even more empowered.

They are already beyond consequence generally, more power for them doesn’t change the relationship between the common man and the nobles.

You saw the same emotional situation play out with Luigi Mangiones actions despite having scant effect on the system.
