I’m not even worried about their weapons. I’m worried they’ve successfully convinced some of the smartest, most clever psychologists in the world that they would do much better at using their knowledge of the human mind to exploit the proletariat than actually help individuals. I’m worried that they have enough “ownership” of resources that they’ll be able to convince and hire small armies to protect those resources for them in the coming climate apocalypse. I’m more worried about the surveillance state, The Fourteen Eyes, and “pre-crime” ideas flowing into snuffing out revolutionaries before they can become revolutionary.

The weapons have never made a difference, almost all throughout history the bourgeois has had access to better, more complicated weaponry than the average citizen. The things that make a difference are the psychologists producing more effective propaganda than ever, the continued growth of important resources in fewer hands, and a surveillance state aimed at preventing revolutionary thought from happening at all. Weapons don’t kill ideas, propaganda, surveillance and control of resources do.
