If you assassinated or executed all the billionaires in the world nothing would change. They are just figureheads at the top of a big corporate mound. Yes they are absurdly personally rich, but the majority of that wealth is tied up in the value of companies that they own - the companies wouldn't go anywhere, and they would continue to do the same bullshit with or without a billionaire at the top.

Pretty sure if all the billionaires were written in a death note then would-be billionaires would think twice. What's missing is repeated culling, then they would do more then think twice.

Agree with OP... societal/systemic changes would be great, but I'd never wish death on anyone.

I know it's pretty common on here, but rhetoric about killing people, guillotine memes, etc skeeve me out

No. I want to murder big-business, but I fear it's already too late.

I want to eat them. Murder is merely a stepping stone

Well, OP, maybe you ought to look into the life and times of Pu Yi, an imperial ruler who was allowed to live out his natural life after his oppressive dynasty was overthrown.

The prevelance of the "murder billionaires" mindset and other generally negative attitudes and suggested violent solutions to everything - even more often and more exaggerated than reddit - is probably gonna chase me off lemmy. It's everywhere here. Even blocking all the explicitly political communities isn't enough to keep it away. This platform has a lot of growing up to do, and I'm not sure if it's gonna do it.

You wouldn’t last a day around gen Zers with that attitude bud.

Glass half full, there's very little talk of murdering millionaires, so hypothetically things are looking up!

Comments section is equally concerning as the whole "kill all billionaires" movement
