    “Ever again” is a very long time to predict anything for tbh. Its not like powerful people in the past didn’t often have control over the political systems they found themselves in, if this was enough to preclude it forever, why has any powerful person ever faced prosecution before?

      …yeah but this time, a man-toddler is in charge of enough nukes to glass the world several times over, and as falls deeper into his geriatric years, he has increasingly little to lose. Previous poster may well be correct on account of humans being extinct in the near future.

      Best case scenario, it isn’t nuclear fire that cooks us - that just drags us out a bit longer for the climate to cook us instead.

      Baby girl… There has never been this level of wealth intertwined with foundational systems in human history.

        Am I misunderstanding something? You think the monarchy had to follow laws? Didn’t they make the laws? Or you think the monarchy didn’t count as rich? Just because Elon is the richest? It took much less wealth to get away with egregious (by today’s standards) crimes in the past.

          Yes you are intentionally misunderstanding in order to argue a non point to someone who doesn’t care about that non point.

      Have you seen how the Climate Crisis is going? Humanity is basically toast in the next 30 years. Its onky accelersting, we are alreay in the “how much can we mitigate” and well beyond the “we can stop this” point. Its going to just get hotter and hotter and migration will start to snowball the food problems from the heat as everything inside the topic lines becomes an unlivable hellscape.

      “Ever again”, is a very short period of time.
