Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society? (lemmy.ca)

While it's very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it's been bothering me that I can't shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).

Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.

I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what's the most likely answer.

Just takes one catalyst. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand

Ferdinand was trying to help the Serbian people.

They shot themselves when they shot him.
