    Do they realize that this will lead to more physical sabotage against oil infrastructure? If they get rid of any non-violent means of mitigating concerns, they leave only one option.

      After what the americans have mustered against a fascist takeover I don’t think the rich are very scared about someone trying to “sabotage” the oil infrastructure…

        Right wing violence (which includes neo Nazis, fundamentalist Christians bombing abortion clinics, etc) and fundamentalist Islam attacks make up the overwhelming majority of political violence in the USA but left wing violence exists. And of that left wing violence the majority is what they call “ecoterrorism”

        It’s not obscenely common (tbf no political violence is “extremely common” in America, statistically still very unlikely) but it does happen. It’s just far less publicized because “some people bombed an oil transport line/hummer dealership at night/etc” is not nearly as clickbaity as “weird scumbag with a manifesto about great replacement theory posted to 8chan shot 35 people”

      Yes they can barely keep the regime in place with the violent revolutionary clashes going on every day.
      The US land of the free guerilla makes Hamas look like boy scouts.

        I mean… I don’t know what reality you’re living in, but that’s not quite happening yet.

          It will obviously never happen.
          I figured /s wasn’t necessary with the extremely embarrassing attitude of the US sheep.
