who provided the "drone devices"? it's likely nobody from venezuela since they are broke af.

however it seems to have been executed rather poorly, so we'll still have to wait for the first successful drone assassination.

if you do something this big you better fucking learn to do it before

Proles might be, but dictatorships are for the most part characterized by inequality, so there are always some rich and powerful and some super-rich and super-powerful guys hanging around the dear leader, and wanting to take his place.

Also, weird thing about communist regimes - when economy is so out of order, it might be hard to get basic necessities like food and toilet paper, but with a bit of enterpreneur spirit and right connections you can get access to some high level shit.

Soviet ZX Spectrum clones, for example, were often made from military-grade chips.

Drones were a thing BEFORE everyone was broke AF. Also, look at tribes and shit that learn to build drones from scrap. Drones are cheap AF.I bet there were a few people in it as a hobby before shit went down, willing to donate to the cause.

…And this is how you acknowledge that bringing cyberpunk in real life is retarded because there's other way to kill people more efficiently and more discretely.

maybe not tho. that country is absolutely insane right now: gangs of children killing each other over access to "quality garbage", mobs raiding farmers and butchering their cattle just to eat, mad max biker gangs raiding semis on the highway for food, people hanging from streetlamps for stealing - all real stories btw

not to mention maduro's 80%+ DISapproval rate, that bastard probably gets more death threats than hitler himself* so im sure his security is practically watertight.

also political assassinations tend to be a public thing to send a message to the next guy, in this case to not continue to starve the nation to death.

i think we will see alot more consumer grade drone kills in the future. and thats /cyber/ af tbh


 No.51277

My sources (socmedia gossip) say assassination wasn't even real, and the guy screams about threats to his life to justify his actions fairy regularly.

Is this a good time to invest in AVAV
