Corporations Are People, My Friend: Using a Gun is Weak
Anyone who needs a gun to prove a point is already operating from a position of weakness. If force is required to assert control, influence an outcome, or make a statement, then the argument itself cannot stand on its own. That is the baseline. The weapon becomes a substitute for actual power, not an extension of it. You need the gun because you cannot do it without it. That alone defines the situation.
That weakness becomes even more obvious in attacks against random people in public spaces. Shooting civilians in malls, theaters, or event venues is not strategy. It is not targeted in any meaningful way. It is not constructive, and it does not accomplish anything measurable. There is no real objective being achieved, no leverage created, and no argument advanced. It is simply violence without purpose. Even in the most recent attempt, after reviewing the manifesto, it appears that all were specific targets, excluding Kash Patel, but that does not change the outcome. It still does not produce anything that advances a position or proves a point.
This applies directly to what happened on Saturday. There is nothing about that act that reflects strength or control. It reflects the opposite. It shows an inability to operate in any environment where ideas are tested, challenged, and proven. That is the core issue. It is not power, it is failure.
