Au contraire, mon frere, in most of these movies the VILLAN was the one with power and unlimited resources. Just. Like. Elon.
And Elon - you have cited movies designed to manipulate the audience into siding with the rebels, not the oligarchs. Y'all want a better metaphor from pop culture? Try The Sopranos, Dexter, or the SAMCRO bunch - they're truly amoral shitbags designed to appeal to the downtrodden masses. So go murder Big Pussy, wrap his corpse in a carpet, and dump him in the bay. That's how you get people to cheer for you.
With apologies to all the Big Pussies out there who are about to get whacked by Elon's populist quest. (Cause he reads this thread.)
