[Now it's Darlene's turn to lean forward, aggressively.]

Which is why they have to get decimated.

From:

rathercommon

[ She sighs - but doesn't immediately disagree, either. A bit of relaxation means a bit more honesty - which means a bit less pacifism. ]

Meaning what, though? Murder?

$nastygram: (C:\derf)$

From:

[Darlene rolls her eyes a little.]

Okay, bitch, you were looking for pipe bombs at thirteen. What were you gonna do with them.

From:

rathercommon

[ She shakes her head. ]

Exactly what you think. But I'm not thirteen any longer. I don't think now what I did then.

$nastygram: (C:\gilley)$

And that means we've got to go all kumbaya? You know that doesn't work. You just said it. These shitlords are gonna weasel out, unless we do something. Something that sticks.

Assets first. Then asses. I am not afraid of kicking these bastards while they're down because, guess what, that's how they got to where they are today. On the backs of everybody else, who they keep too poor and dumb and beaten down to do anything about it. Inoculated with bullshit to keep them from thinking.

From:

rathercommon

[ Kitty tilts her head to the side and admits: ]

That I would like to see. Very much. But ultimately, other shitty people will just come in to take their place, won't they.

$nastygram: (C:\@-party)$

From:

nastygram

So break their game so no one's got a place to come in. Or break it so it sets back to zero. Give everyone a fair chance to fight. I guarantee those shitlords will still be the ones that eat it the hardest, because they've spent so long screwing other people.

From:

rathercommon

[ The smile that Kitty shoots Darlene is rather opaque. ]

I agree.

$nastygram: (C:\killerpoke)$

From:

nastygram

[A slight pause, and Darlene narrows her eyes.]

And?

From:

rathercommon

And I guess my next question is...how do you break the system?

$nastygram: (C:\UTSL)$

From:

nastygram

Easy.

[ "Easy". ]

Corrupt it.

From:

rathercommon

[ Tilting her head: ]

And how's that done?

$nastygram: (C:\@-party)$

From:

nastygram

Trojan horse it. That's easiest. Then combo that with sowing distrust and putting people's general fears of Big Brother and Big Business into nice black and white, and start taking heads. Exposing and crippling and leaking to prove a point.

I mean, nobody trusts the shitlords anyways, right. And then you hit them where it hurts which, if we're talking capitalism, is the Almighty Dollar.

From:

rathercommon

Mm.

[ A finger taps against her chin. ]

But how do you keep it from all just going back? To how it was? You bring down a big corporation, show that they're all crooks. Then what? If people get afraid enough of big business, what happens then?

$nastygram: (C:\lenna)$

From:

nastygram

Not a big corporation. All corporations.

[She punctuates this by unfolding one leg and shoving her heel against the coffee table, pushing it out away from the couch.]

Start with the biggest and they will all fall. That takes care of debt. Plus pretty much all money, if you play it right, which also knocks out people's confidence in money to save them.

From:

rathercommon

[ A gesture - ]

But how d'you know they'll fall?

$nastygram: (C:\misbug)$

From:

nastygram

[Languid, unimpressed, Darlene rolls her gaze around to focus on Kitty.]

What?

From:

rathercommon

[ Her brows draw down, a little confused. She'd thought that question was straightforward...but, hell, Darlene's high. Kitty's high. That fogs you up a bit. ]

The first one falls, the others go after. How d'you know that'll happen?

$nastygram: (C:\weenix)$

From:

nastygram

Because?

[She makes a gesture like, yes and?]

Like why would it not. The incest in these corporations is fucking insane, dude, it's like the Human friggin' Centipede. Big one shits and the next one down the chain swallows it 'cause what other choice do they have, on and on and on.

Ending it at the top is the only way we stop getting the back end shit.

From:

rathercommon

Well, 'cause -

[ She waves her hand. ]

You've seen plenty of corporations go down, I'm sure. 'Cause of crimes or bankruptcy. And have you seen them taking down everything smaller than them?

$nastygram: (C:\bogosity)$

From:

nastygram

Oh my god, I'm not talking about bankruptcy. That is some small potatoes.

I'm talking about total critical failure. Okay? Blue screening the whole thing. Debt, money, all of this arbitrary shit that's had meaning applied to it, keeping everyone prisoner--take out of all it and free people once and for fucking all.

From:

rathercommon

Right, only - okay. But critical failure how?

$nastygram: (C:\PEBKAC)$

From:

nastygram

What the fuck are you not getting. Destruction.

From:

rathercommon

Yeah, but, I mean - take it from someone who knows. Destruction doesn't just happen. Any system as old and big as this one is going to have really deep roots - you can't just push it and it'll topple. It takes a bloody lot more than that.
