I still maintain that the execution of about 3000 billionaires would fundamentally change global society so severely that we might enter into a new global golden age.
People always give me the "Oh my GOD you can't just kill people" without realizing every single one of these billionaires makes the conscious choice to kill thousands of people every single day, through inaction, through exploitation, through greed. Every one of them lays on top of a pile of bodies that grows by the day, and if you get rid of them, you stop the pile of bodies growing.
If your concern is saving the most lives, stopping billionaires from existing is the most expedient thing you can do to save the most lives possible.
and all I can say is lol. lmao. just absolute comedy. just the richest of hilarious bullshit. 10/10. good fucking show.
They've got algorithms crawling locked accounts for anti-billionaire sentiment now. I am laughing so hard. I'm not even mad.
An excerpt from Seven Surrenders:
Tyrants and assassins have a great symbiosis. Assassins are always evil and despised (even when our effects are good we’re still a bad means to a good end) until tyrants crop up. Then suddenly assassins are heroes, lifelines; suddenly we alone have the power to save the world without a revolution and the destruction revolutions bring. You admit you need us. But, between tyrants, you forget that assassins will only be here, ready, when you want us if we’ve been here, ready, the whole time. You feel dirty keeping such a weapon in the house, but somebody has to keep one or it won’t be there when the bad wolf comes to huff and puff.
I always find that the easiest way to get sufficiently angry at billionaires to overcome the "but murder is bad" thing is to do some simple math to compare yourself to them. They have a horrendous, out-of-this-world unnecessary amount of money that no one has any right or even REMOTELY need to have. Elon Musk's net worth is 199 billion dollars. That is to say, he has $199,000,000,000 at his disposal.
The highest american minimum wage is apparently $15 an hour. Splitting a billion by that, to earn a single billion dollars, you would have to work 66,666,666 hours, split by 8 hour workdays that's 347,222 days, or 951 years.
For one billion.
If you have literally zero expenses.
And you most certainly work harder than that insufferable shitbag.
You make 15 an hour(if you're lucky!), 30 an hour would change your life considerably, and this man just sits on almost 190,000 years' worth of your labor and you've seen what he does with it. And that's just one of em! There are several people with that kind of wealth!!
We have all the pieces of utopia just lying around. There is SO much wealth on earth. Everyone could be paid a living wage and THEN some. Climate change prevention could be financed a dozen times over, world hunger is entirely unnecessary, medical care could and should be free, but because of less people than populate the average small town, we cannot have it.
