Well yes, of course we do, Gunner!
Because you ARE! Nutz that is.

Similar economic situations, but that's as far as it stretches.

Look, if you really believe in the Great Cull (or Great Pumpkin,
for that matter)

DO something about it.

Start shooting.

See if anybody else follows suit.


But if you are not willing to walk your talk?
STFU.

Ok?

There is an old, old story of the guy interviewing for the job of
switchman. And he gets asked about how he would handle various
situations, and finally is asked about what he would do if he had two
trains coming from opposite directions at great speed. He says
"I'd call my brother Wilbur"
Why would you do that?
"Cause he's never seen a train wreck."

Gunner sees a "train wreck" or rather a situation which sure nuff
looks like it will lead to a train wreck. Not his job to start it,
nor is it his job to prevent it (save in the sense of being a citizen
in a representational republic.)

Gunner's warning of the "great cull" is no more causative than my
warning my brother that if he got married without me being there, all
his kids would be born naked. He did, and they were.
