Or we could just put everyone from /r/TumblrInAction on an African island...
make a reality show where they explain what they learn once put in a position of disempowerment, promising all a safe return to America once they demonstrate their new wisdom...
let 'em learn harsh lessons in communication & tolerance as they're forced to work together & collaborate with dark-skinned people from other islands with all the power & resources...
Then bomb the island. 😺

@LexYeen You might enjoy the Matt Ruff novel "Sewer, Gas, and Electric" aka "The Public Works Trilogy."
It has a variant on that theme in which an ultra-rich libertarian asshole is basically stripped of his money, status, and powers of speech, has a cash acceptor wired to a bomb and his heart, and has to beg for $MONEY_AMOUNT or die in $TIME_LENGTH.
It's all SUPER gratifying. :D There's also a neat argument with an Ayn Rand AI stuck in a hurricane lamp.

@LexYeen And I love ya, hun, but don't you dare tell me what to do with my explosives. I worked hard for those and I can blow up whoever I please. ;D
