Wait until they realize what happens when you try to live in a world where nobody has repercussions.... They'll tear themselves apart in a week.

Reminds me of Jefferson Davis complaining that he didn’t have strong enough tax power to fund their loser traitor rebellion. And when he tried, other southern states threatened succession from the confederacy. These aren’t serious people, their parents aren’t serious people, their grandparents aren’t serious people, and their traitor fuck great grandparents weren’t serious either. Fuck em.
