no, this is movie plot thinking.
Ha. That's a funny remark because I was just thinking that AP does sound like literary fiction so far.
you need someone with access and opportunity.
*And* willing to do it. See, two different things are getting mixed. One thing is a market for hitmen who theoretically can kill any target (hollywood-like...). IF the hitmen exist, then in principle you can hire them and get the job done. A rather different thing is the assumption that you can turn members of the official mafia into 'traitors' by offering them enough money.
You are saying that those targets will be taken down by 'traitors'? That can happen sometimes but I don't think it would be common.
most traitors are traitors for money, not ideology.
Evidence? Regardless, the issue is how many traitors you can buy. Even if 9 out of 10 do it for money, what matters is the absolute number of potential traitors, not the ratio.
Also notice that 'traitors' a la snowden don't do it for money. And he didn't kill anybody either (and he's no anarchist anyway)
Snowden is not a typical traitor, as discussed.
Right. And there isn't an AP system in place right now so I cant really compare. I take my mentioning him back.
Yet you are saying that a 'modern', big, very well funded government can be overthrown by buying off some of its members with a few million dollars?
i don't think AP would destroy government - that's a separate question.
i do think AP would successfully murder even the most high profile targets, though.
