Starting point is 00:00:00 We've all seen so many of these pamphlets floating around by now that I don't even know where to begin. But I guess starting at the very beginning is as good a place as any, right? I can still remember how stunned I was the morning the first one hit. Shocked. Horrified. Disgusted. And not in that, oh look at this viral prank video, kind of way, no. This was the sort of deep-in-your-gut horror that makes you feel like the air's been punched out of your lungs. I swear, I'd never seen a photo like that before in my life. I'd just woken up, still groggy, grabbing for my phone before my feet even hit the floor.
Starting point is 00:00:41 And there it was. Blasting across every single feed. That image. That one cursed photograph that seemed to carve time in two. Like there was life before that photo, and then there was everything that came after. The head of Jimmy Bozo stuck on a pike. I swear, it didn't feel real at first. I blinked so many times my eyes burned, thinking, nope, this can't be real.
Starting point is 00:01:08 This has to be Photoshop. Somebody's pulling a hoax. Jimmy Bozo, the second richest guy on the freaking planet, richer than some entire countries, and now he didn't even have a body attached to his neck. That's a hell of a thing to wake up to. But the world didn't care about my denial. The image was already everywhere. Memes, news tickers, live streams, think pieces from Blue Check Pundits.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Bozo's shiny, bald dome impaled high in the Nevada desert, the dawn light making it gleam like some twisted trophy. And you know what's worse. I still had to drag myself into work that day and figure out how to explain this madness to a room full of thirteen-year-olds. Two weeks into the school year. I hadn't even learned all their names yet, and the suddenly I had to be the wise adult who explains the world.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Which, let's be real, is total BS because I didn't have a clue what was happening either. I didn't know the State Board of Education's official line on billionaires getting beheaded, or if there even was a protocol for this. But looking at 20 pairs of freaked-out tween eyes, I knew we weren't just going to dive straight back into the heroics of Christopher Columbus without addressing the elephant, or, in this case, the severed head, in the room. Miss Jacob, they chirped, one after another, like caffeinated sparrows. Miss Jacob, why do you think they did that to Jimmy Bozo?
Starting point is 00:02:37 Did you see the picture, Miss Jacob? Miss Jacob, why would someone cut off Jimmy Bozo's head? Miss Jacob, why was Jimmy Bozo even at Burning Man? I mean, how do you answer that? I didn't know why anyone would do that to Jimmy Bozo, the founder and overlord of Amazen, the world's biggest e-commerce platform, the empire that had basically taken over retail as we knew it. I didn't know why the second richest man alive went to Burning Man, or why he didn't have enough security to stop someone from, you know, decapitating him. But those kids were staring at me like
Starting point is 00:03:11 I held the answers to the universe. So I said the only thing I could think of. Sometimes, I told them carefully, scary things happen in the world, and there's not always a good reason why. Of course, by the end of the week, there were plenty of reasons swirling around. Too many reasons. And a whole lot more questions, too. Why had Bozo gone to Burning Man in the first place? The consensus among pundits seemed to be the obvious, for the same reasons all the other billionaires did. The drugs.
Starting point is 00:03:45 The orgies. The thrill of roughing it in the desert for a few days with a bunch of radical, half-naked weirdos. Bragging writes, A chance to cosplay as free-spirited humans for a week before returning to their air-conditioned megamansions. What Jimmy clearly hadn't accounted for, though, was just how radical some of those freaks really were. The pirate pamphlet changed everything.
Starting point is 00:04:11 That's what people started calling it, anyway. Someone had scrawled the words workers of the world, revenge. Across the cover, right above a crude drawing of a head on a stick. and on the back. A skull and crossbones with the ominous Latin phrase, Memento Mori. Remember that you will die. At first, nobody took it seriously. When those pamphlets started circulating at Burning Man, folks thought it was a prank, just more anarchist propaganda to toss on the pile of anti-capitalist art installations. The kind of thing you'd laugh at while tripping balls on mushrooms. But when Bozo's head showed up in real life, well, suddenly it wasn't so funny anymore. The pamphlet laid out the motive in plain language. It wasn't random. It wasn't even personal, really. It was class warfare, pure and simple. They picked Bozo because he was the symbol of corporate greed. The billionaire who turned a scrappy online bookstore into a planetary monopoly by grinding his workers into dust.
Starting point is 00:05:18 The accusations weren't anything new. We'd all heard them before, warehouse employees fainting from heat exhaustion, drivers peeing in bottles to meet impossible delivery quotas, union organizers getting fired on flimsy excuses. We knew. We all knew. But knowing isn't the same as caring, is it? I mean, come on, how many of us kept hitting, by now, on Amazon. Even after reading all those exposés about their labor practices, prices were cheap. Delivery was fast. Life was hard, and most of us were too busy trying to survive to start a revolution. That's the part that hit me the hardest. It wasn't like we didn't know.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It was that we did, and we still let it slide. But whoever made the pirate pamphlet, they weren't letting it slide anymore. Bozo was only the beginning. The second one came out of nowhere. Warner Bucket, yes, that Warner Bucket, the media tycoon who owned half the world's new networks, was found floating in his infinity pool, his head bobbing like a grotesque rubber ducky. A new pamphlet appeared hours later, this time with a different Latin phrase, six semper tyrannies. Thus always to tyrants. By the time Lonnie Muck, the Crypto-Kingpin,
Starting point is 00:06:40 turned up headless in his bunker, people weren't even surprised anymore. Horrified, sure. But surprised? Not really. It was like the dam had burst. decades of pent-up rage spilling out all at once. And every time another rich and powerful figure went down, the debates flared up again. Was this justice? Terrorism? A warning shot across the bow of capitalism? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:07:12 All I know is the world hasn't felt the same since.
