I'm gonna steal this, it's beautiful!
This whole thing with a series of "CommentX" accounts started because I wrote on reddit once that I hoped for this guy's death, got permabanned, and made my first new account. I think I was up in the 140's on reddit recently, still haven't made an alt for lemmy since I started with 105.
But this specific guy, who I don't usually hear much from because I don't seek out content from/about that environment, said something so ugly about how good he thought poverty and struggle was, that it made me wish the worst for him.
It's not that he's much worse than the other guys in his wealth class, I mean he's still up there but not #1 big bad by any means, but he's just so fucking overtly classist and apparently in love with the suffering of those beneath him, it's shocking.
It's disappointing to be reminded of him, and that my wish upon a star wasn't fulfilled. He should've been in that submarine.
Where’s all the action? All I’ve seen is the sub guy and a ship captain actually follow through
If I was actively planning on murdering some of the richest people on earth, I wouldn't talk about it on social media.
People you're talking about OWN the violence needed to stop them.
What I would be doing is joining the organizations that control the violence and either disrupt or try and take control of some or all of it.
History is going to be very unkind to people like Biden who has the means and legal right to mobilize and contain the fascists that ended American democracy and destroyed modern civilization
You join the violent organisations, either you are assimilated, or you are cast out (or worse). That’s how they work.
Fight Club style. If you're able to keep yourself from assimilating or being discovered, it could work.
There are just under 3000 billionaires in the world. The questions to ask are:
Do you start with the richest and move down the list or start at the bottom and see if the top ones give their money away before you get to them?
Do you sharpen the blade after it starts taking more than one blade drop or just enjoy the tension of the longer show?
I'm thinking more of a parallelized operation, and where their holdings have been nationalized or otherwise socialized beforehand so they wouldn't really have the option to give their money away.
I should have been more specific and said Give their companies to the nationalized system of ownership and money into the tax coffers.
Can we throw non-voters on that list?
The fuck?
Non-voters directly assist Trump. Put ‘em in there with the rest of his cronies.
if you guillotine all non-voters, the number of non-voters stays the same
So I'm guessing you'd put Trump voters on there too?
Well, no shit. I didn’t think I’d have to spell out what should be common sense
Weeeelllll…
