Maybe nobody, Peter -- unless you are suicidal. Walking away and taking care of ourselves, finding ways to live sustainable... this might be still the best (r-)evolution. 

Still very much interested in the advertisements of Aramco, which ones are you talking about?

We do not teach our children such roles.

Much better, we would also observe that most of the petroleum
industry is under royalist control.  Which is why it persists so
implacably. Notice the advertisements from Aramco.

So, if you want to mobilize social and economic forces to supersede
the petroleum industry, you need a wider revolt against royalism.

Another example now, as stated by the person in public, is the 
admiration of royalism, and adoption of such in a lifetime Presidency,
of Xi Jinping.  (another question is about Putin; does Tsarism continue?)

Who dares to continue the revolutions of 1776, 1789 and 1917-18?

I wonder what I was smoking when we discussed this idea.

To do the video you will have to buy the princess dolls and get a
miniature guillotine. Here are instructions on how to build one:

The alternative is to order a Chinese plastic model from amazon
for 9.75 Euro, but you still have to paint it yourself:

Ok, Bezos, plastics and China, I agree, not a good option.

But here's a pretty good Lego execution:

After all this research, I think some ideas are better left unexecuted.

Instead I will have one of my favorite Belgian beers:

Indeed, the violence that I proposed was FAR LESS than the violence

witness the wage-slavery of all the internet-prompted delivery
nobodies

Girls with I-phones need to know the social cost of their privileged
behavior.

The video contemplated, with Wolfgang Stahle, was to build a scaffold
with a guillotine, and then chop off the heads of a hundred Disney
princess
dolls, with music from what we hear at graduation. There would be
point-
blank recitations about the Saudi investment in Disney, and about the
dominance of the oil industry, particularly in the worst ecological
practices,
by royalist or effectively-royalist companies. Their assumption,
very
obnoxous, and contrary to all the thought about so-called creative
capitalism,
has been that they alone will effect a "transition" from fossils to
renewables,
as they alone, by Divine Right, have the power of controlling
"Energy".

remarkable it is, now that this "traumatized, violence-taught"
daughter who
is going to Harvard, and paid double my earnings to do so, has been
able
to hear, for about 15 yaers, what I really think.

How is it that I can say to my child what I cannot possibly say in
the art world, or any polite-publication world.

I can say the truth as i see it to my child, but must avoid
saying such things in my cultural job?

Strange.

What use, then, does the cultural job have?

Anybody has a right to destroy his or her own property.

Would Disney need to come out defending royalism?
ahem, r-oilism?

Similar vicious actions could be done with "Amazon."

oh, and M.: was the French Revolution "funny and alarming"?

Or was it an historical event with huge global consequences?

Thank you for reminding me of the Disney-Saudi connection.

The story of you and Sophia chopping off the heads of her dolls
has always struck me as both funny and alarming. I don’t mean
“ha ha funny.”

"interest"?

I discovered the Disney princess obsession from reading to my
kid, then seeing videotapes for all the kids. I was so
pissed off by the narrative that I taught
Sophia about how in the French Revolution all the princesses
had their heads chopped off. We made drawings with chalk on
the pavement of heads being
chopped off. Her mother got angry, saying that I was
teaching violence. No,
I said in angry retort, I'm teaching History.

Hopefully, the lesson sinks in. Princesses or wannabe
princesses should die.

The fantasy women have of getting all their needs met by
deliveries, from
Amazon, from Fresh Direct, from the corner pizzeria, results
directly from the
Disney princess propaganda. And so, the free nation
subordinates itself to
royalism.

Remember: one of the biggest investors in Walt Disney,
especially in the 100-year bonds, is Saudi Arabian royalty.

Thus, the US becomes a prisoner of royalist energy policies
of Saudi Arabia,
UAE, Kuwait, Britain (BP & Shell), Netherlands (Shell),
Norway (Equinor), Spain (Repsol), and two autocratic
countries that could as well be royalist (Russia and China).

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS

Must we do the American and French Revolutions again?

The link between Disney girl fantasies and “delivery

Subject: Agree?

If you do, then--I ask--please forward these thoughts
to Guillermo and Agustina.

I wake up full of desires to make history.
The stagnation of my entire life is too much.
Now, Bezos must fall, Bolsonaro must lose,
the Amazon must be saved, Physiocratic
management of land/water must begin,
Putin must get an imaginative start to his
next 8 years in the Kremlin, the reservoirs
must be cleaned out, and we must be rich.

The complete collapse of Bezos is entirely
possible. Such happened before in history.
If people no longer believe in a company
or its head, the whole thing can disappaer
within months.

To drive the point home: we spearhead any
attack on Bezos with an attack on what I
hated to even touch when I visited Harvard
Law School in my 20s: the 3-inch thick US
Internal Revenue Code. The document is
a NIGHTMARE. And people spend their entire
lives figuring out to cheat the public by using
that book. Bezos hired the lawyers who would
do exactly that. As Professional Parasites,
eating away at the body politic and genuine
free enterprise. Eating away at the USA like
a disease.

Characterize "Amazon" as a disease worse
than COViD, and everyone will flee in hororr.

We can then take on the Disney princess
fantasies, which created the market for selfish
delivery fantasies. The public name for such
an attack: TVGOV.
