    TBH I always wondered why people were shooting up malls and schools instead of the people who actually cause the societal conditions they’re upset with

    Edit: to be clear I’m not promoting this, it just never made sense to me

      Billionnaires control the medias and social medias. They are purposely creating divides between the population to avoid being the target.

      It’s called stochastic terrorism or stochastic violence. Essentially people are made increasingly angry and violence prone. Either the object of their anger is inaccessible or too diffuse to actually target.
      As a result, random acts of semi-targetted violence become increasingly common. If your objective is to create an atmosphere where people have a higher baseline level of fear, which can drive irrational reactionary behavior, it does wonders. It’s also great at increasing violent acts against people you dislike without explicitly calling for it.

      The people who deserve it are harder to find and rarely in the same place at once.

        CEO’s? Likely at home, shareholder meetings, board meetings, on their boat, private jets (which can be tracked), at their office, speaking at corporate events (annual sales kickoffs, etc.). It would take some work, but not that hard.
