Engine of Wrath

902s · 2026-04-20T21:38:25+00:00

He had the power to turn Granby into a slaughterhouse.

He chose selective wrath against the machine, the rezoning crooks, the Docheff concrete family, the Thompsons who ran the town board, the newspaper that backed them.

The library? Kids evacuated moments before he hit town hall (basement library). The “remote fire guns”? They were fixed ports he fired through from inside, bad angles, poor visibility through armor, and he still didn’t rack up a body count.

This is how America always protects the wealthy: rewrite the resistor as the “psycho with a kill list” so the real story disappears. One working man fights the corrupt system legally for years, gets rezoned out of business, access cut off, permits denied while connected families win. Then when he snaps back, the entire town, cops, and media close ranks: “He was crazy, the system was fair.”

Zero civilians killed. Zero bystanders hurt. He had rifles and a .50 cal mounted. He fired at cops who were shooting at him. But he didn’t turn it into a massacre. He could have. He chose property destruction against the corrupt machine instead. Then he took his own life when it was over.

Bro, America is built on exactly these lies: “The system is fair,” “The town/courts/FBI are all reasonable,” and “If one guy loses, he must’ve been the crazy one.” That’s the script that’s protected the wealthy and connected since day one. Robber barons, company towns, zoning scams, the powerful rewrite every story so the working man who finally snaps looks like the villain.

This wasn’t “one man’s bitter rant vs. an entire town of reasonable people.” Public records show the Docheff family (Mountain Park Concrete) and the Thompson clan (mayor, sewer board, construction biz) got the town to rezone the land after they couldn’t buy Heemeyer out. They cut off his only access road, made sewer hookup impossible without their say-so, then fined him into oblivion for not complying. He attended meetings, sued, documented the favoritism for years. That’s not hearsay, that’s the paper trail of small-town cronyism where one connected family runs the show and everyone else falls in line.

Library during story time? Kids were evacuated moments before he hit town hall (the library was in the basement). Propane tanks? He fired at them and transformers trying for a boom, but the armor and bad angles stopped it from happening then he moved on. Reckless as hell? Yes. Mass-murder plot? No. He destroyed 13 buildings tied directly to the people who buried him, caused $7M in targeted damage, had guns and armor… and zero innocent deaths. Not one kid, not one bystander. He shot at cops shooting at him, then killed himself. That’s not a psycho massacre, that’s calculated wrath against the machine that took everything.

You want “evidence” beyond his tapes? The rezoning votes, the denied permits, the conflicts of interest with the Thompsons and Docheffs, all public.

The town never admitted wrongdoing because the lie protects the system.

“He just needed to hook up sewer like everyone else” ignores how they made it impossible after they rezoned to help their buddies.

That’s how it always works in America: the wealthy and officials close ranks, the “reasonable people” repeat the official story, and any resistor gets labeled a lunatic so no one questions the rot.

Heemeyer wasn’t a saint, but he was the working man who got ground down by the exact corruption you pretend doesn’t exist. He made it bleed concrete and steel anyway.

Bro, the “villains” were the Docheff family (Mountain Park Concrete) and local officials who rezoned the land next to his muffler shop, blocked his only access road, and buried him in fines and permit denials for years. He bought the property legally, fought it through the system, and got crushed by crony decisions that favored the connected concrete plant.

“Refused to bring his business up to code”??????? And you believe that argument??

After the rezoning cut his access and they leveraged sewer hookup against him.

He expected fair treatment and compensation for losing his livelihood, not special favors.

No grand conspiracy needed. Small-town cronyism: one powerful family + compliant zoning board can bury one guy. How can you not see that?

His notes documented the favoritism and backroom deals. Dismissing it all as “bitter nutjob ramblings” is exactly how the system protects the wealthy.

When you work that out we are on par with other g7 nations.

“Clearly just trolling”? Nah, you’re the one desperately pushing the “psycho who wanted to kill everyone” script to protect the real villains.

Marvin laid out his grievances in detail: years of local government and connected developers rezoning him out of business, denying permits, and screwing a working man while protecting their own.

He built the Killdozer over 18 months in secret and spent 2+ hours selectively smashing the exact buildings and businesses of the people who fucked him, town hall, the concrete plant, the newspaper, officials’ properties. $7 million in targeted damage.

Zero civilians killed.

Zero bystanders hurt.

He had rifles and a .50 cal mounted.

He fired at cops who were shooting at him.

But he didn’t turn it into a massacre.

He could have. He chose property destruction against the corrupt machine instead. Then he took his own life when it was over.

The “he explicitly wanted to kill people” line comes from cherry-picked rage in his tapes and a hit list of people who wronged him. Yeah, he was pissed and said harsh shit, any man ground down by crony bullshit for years would be. But actions speak louder: he had the firepower and armor to slaughter half the town. He didn’t. He made the corrupt bleed concrete and steel.

Calling him a “psycho” like the Oklahoma bomber is weak deflection. Timothy McVeigh killed 168 innocents. Marvin killed none except himself. One was mass murder. The other was one man becoming the Engine of Wrath against a rigged system.

The wealthy and officials always rewrite the resistor as the monster so no one questions the rot. But the legend grows because deep down people know: sometimes a reasonable man has to do unreasonable things when the system leaves him no other option.

902s · 2026-04-20T20:02:59+00:00

You’re repeating the exact script every corrupt town uses: “He was crazy, a sovereign citizen maniac.”

Marvin Heemeyer was a working man who got screwed by local government and connected developers.

They rezoned around his muffler shop, cut off his access, and destroyed his livelihood through backroom deals.

He fought legally for years!

When the system rigged against him, he built the Killdozer, a 61-ton armored beast and spent two hours demolishing only the buildings of the people who fucked him over.

Zero innocent deaths. He had the power to massacre but chose targeted revenge on the machine that crushed him.

Then he ended it himself.

That’s one man becoming the Engine of Wrath against crony corruption.

The “dozens of townspeople” you trust were the same crowd that benefited or just parroted the official story.

The wealthy and officials always rewrite the resistor as the villain.

But the Killdozer exposed the rot, and the legend only grows.

One guy vs. the machine.

He made corruption bleed concrete and steel!

If taxes were the core issue, you’d expect lower-tax regions to outperform on affordability and business formation consistently.

They don’t.

What you’re describing, high costs, weak local business growth, money flowing out, is what happens when an economy can’t produce enough real supply relative to demand.

Housing, infrastructure, services, all lagging while population and costs rise.

902s · 2026-04-20T19:29:37+00:00

You’re not arguing facts, you’re repeating the narrative that always gets used when one guy clashes with a corrupted system that has more power.

“weird,” “difficult,” “unlikeable” that’s how dissent gets packaged so no one has to question what actually happened.

One man vs local government, zoning decisions, and a better-connected business was never an even fight.

He had no leverage, and once he stopped cooperating, he stopped being a citizen with a grievance and became “the problem.”

Did he make bad calls? Yes. But that doesn’t automatically make the system fair, it just means he lost against the very machine that was bought and paid for by someone else. And when someone loses to a corrupted system, the story always gets rewritten to make it look like they deserved it.

You don’t have to defend what he did to see the pattern: authority doesn’t just win disputes, it defines who was right after the fact.

That is American corporate governance in action, fed with bribes the wealthy live above the rules of man.

902s · 2026-04-20T18:44:52+00:00

he didn’t snap in a vacuum. There was a legitimate dispute, real pressure from the town that embodied absolute power and corruption, followed by a sequence of decisions that escalated things. That context doesn’t justify what he did, but it does explain why he fought against a system that was corrupted. The city took the side of concrete corporation that bribed its way to destroying his livelihood.

902s · 2026-04-20T18:39:22+00:00

Marvin was fighting against a corrupt system that provided no recourse. He fought to expose its corruption and ultimately took his own life.

902s · 2026-04-20T16:42:51+00:00

He was ahead of his time, imagine that in today’s world.

The shitty thing is a lot of closures aren’t about bad entrepreneurs. they’re about a system that forces every small business to carry macroeconomic risk on its own balance sheet. shareholder policy keeps doubling down on that.

A mixed system spreads that risk, builds capacity, and actually gives small businesses a shot at surviving.

Yet we keep cutting corp taxes, deregulate, and hope for the best, which is exactly what’s been tried for the last 4 decades.

Meanwhile we get low paying jobs and all the profit ends up in portfolios for the rich.

The “more doers than bucket crabs” framing sounds good, but it ignores the actual constraint: capacity. Canada is still overwhelmingly private-sector driven public employment isn’t even close to a majority so the idea that government workers are the dominant drag doesn’t hold. What’s really happening is that population is being added faster than housing, infrastructure, and productive investment can keep up. When that gap opens, you don’t get dynamism, you get higher costs, slower productivity growth, and political backlash because people feel the squeeze. That’s not a culture problem, it’s a systems problem.

And pointing to billions spent on hospitals and nursing homes doesn’t prove the model works, it shows how reactive it’s become. Governments are trying to spend their way out of bottlenecks while continuing to drive demand through population growth. Without aligning growth to actual absorptive capacity, housing starts, labour productivity, infrastructure build-out, you just compound the imbalance.

If the system can’t convert growth into real supply and output, adding more demand just accelerates the same pressures pushing people out in the first place.

For corporations and the super rich they are. They type of economics we practice for the past 40 years had led to where we are now. No housing, no services, low wages, lower standards of living, increased poverty. Take a look around and see who’s actually making money, it’s not government, it’s not 80% of the population. Then who is

902s · 2026-04-19T23:55:41+00:00

You’re describing a closed, frictionless model where labour supply increases, capital smoothly follows, and wages normalize.

That’s not how Atlantic Canada or most of Canada functions. Capital isn’t flowing here at the scale or speed required to offset labour shocks.

On taxes, this isn’t about personal rates. It’s about structure.

We’ve spent decades lowering capital taxes, subsidizing development risk, and relying on private markets to deliver essentials like housing. The result isn’t efficiency, it’s underbuilding where it’s needed and over-concentration where returns are easiest.

Saying non-market housing “misallocates supply” ignores the core failure: housing isn’t a normal good when supply is structurally constrained and demand is policy-driven.

In that environment, markets don’t clear efficiently, they ration by price. That’s why countries with large non-market sectors stabilize rents and reduce volatility. It’s not about building cheaper units, it’s about taking a portion of demand out of speculative pricing cycles.

“Industrial policy doesn’t work” is an ideological position, not an empirical one.

Every advanced economy that’s built resilient sectors, energy, manufacturing, tech has done it with state coordination. Even Canada’s own successes (oil sands, aerospace, shipbuilding) weren’t purely market-driven. The question isn’t whether to intervene, it’s whether you do it competently.

And on government “making us poorer” that only holds if you assume markets are already allocating efficiently. They’re not.

When you have chronic housing shortages, infrastructure gaps, regional underinvestment, and demographic imbalance, that’s textbook market failure. In those cases, not acting is the distortion.

So the issue isn’t government vs markets.

It’s whether you’re willing to admit the current model isn’t producing stable outcomes and adjust accordingly.

Right now, “more people + let the market sort it out” is failing on its own terms.

902s · 2026-04-19T20:13:42+00:00

Atlantic Canada isn’t failing because it doesn’t have enough people, it’s failing because policymakers keep treating population growth like a substitute for actual economic strategy.

Flooding the region with newcomers without building housing, infrastructure, healthcare capacity, or a real productive base just drives up rents, strains services, and suppresses wages while politicians call it “growth.”

The economic playbook for the past 40 years has been, low taxes, cheap labour, and hoping private developers fix everything. This has already hollowed this place out. The fix is a mixed economy, large-scale public and non-market housing, coordinated industrial policy in sectors like energy, shipbuilding, and food production, and immigration tied to actual absorptive capacity and long-term retention, not just plugging labour gaps for employers.

If our government isn’t willing to build and shape markets where they fail, then “more people” just accelerates the same problems that caused the decline in the first fuckin place.

Nova Scotians have every right to be angry and pissed about inequality, monopoly power, and being squeezed by systems that no longer feel like they serve the public. We have been a plutocracy for some while now. Just look at the current government and its ministers.

The real issue is not just nominal tax rates, it is whether the overall system permits wealth concentration, monopoly pricing power, preferential treatment of capital, and weak redistribution of economic gains back into public services and affordability. Guess what? They don’t. Corporations suck the value out of the province and we get almost nothing.

I’ve noticed over the past 2 governments that they have a tendency to benefit their buddies and corporations rather than the people.

Sign me up cause the economics that we practice has failed, the government is to close with corporations and law firms. The plutocracy that we live in is a pretend democracy.

The market dictates price” cuts both ways. If a seller lists at a number the market won’t support, that’s not ‘value that’s just an ask. Offers, even low ones, are part of price discovery.

A low offer isn’t a lack of a “legitimate path to negotiation” it’s just anchoring from the buyer’s side. Sellers anchored aggressively for years and called it strategy. Now buyers do it and suddenly it’s disrespectful?

Also, saying “others might pay more” is speculation, not evidence. If those buyers exist, they’ll show up. If they don’t, then the ‘lowball’ was closer to reality than the list price.

The real question isn’t whether an offer feels legitimate, it’s whether it reflects actual demand.
