By "class action" I presume you're referring to the US. If so, no, the courts of law are forbidden to you. You will instead go to a secret tribunal where the laws do not matter. The arbiter will only continue to be paid if they continue to rule for corporations.

They appear to have moved carefully to set this up over the course of weeks by setting up the framework to perform this attack.

I would now presume this person to be a hostile actor and their contributions anywhere and everywhere must be audited. I would not wait for them to cry 'but my bother did it', because an actual malicious actor would say the same thing. The 'mob' should be pouring over everything they've touched.

Audit now and audit aggressively.

Looking at the wikipedia page, I'd say "ego death" sounds like a very different concept.

What the parent posters are talking about is when you have two personalities: the original and the mask, but the mask stays on so long it becomes the new permanent personality. The original "ego" is gone and already replaced.

"ego death" sounds like a loss of the only personality. There's no alternate.

Yes, set aside liabilities for 75 years in the future. They effectively have to fund people before they're born, unless you think they've got a lot of workers who'll be there over 75 years old.

So, yes, they have to fund. And they're struggling because they're being subject to deliberate and malicious political attack on public services.

Its a common misconception, and it is driven by political interests that want to dismantle public services and replace them with more expensive services that have a profit margin for themselves attached.
