This comparison is fucking absurd. Billionaires actually matter to the future! Without billionaires, who will decide how I labor and to what end!? Are we going to go back to feudalism!? Dont be silly! What purpose do children serve?
Dont bait me like that. My thumbs were itching to curse you out 😭
When a pest or parasite is removed, the term isn't "running out".
When there's a lab of peiple constantly putting them on you "for your own health", you might consider that though.
Sounds like a plan.
Speedrun No Billionaires 100% Glitchless!
I'd also find a glitched run acceptable.
Tool assisted not only acceptable but encouraged
Christmas is gonna be epic!
Goals.
Actually you wouldn't. Dead billionaires generally pass along their money, so one, or more, billionaires would take their place.
Money doesn't get distributed (unless the billionaire wanted this) to those in need.
If there are three crows on a fence and I shoot one dead, there are zero crows left on the fence.
It would get diluted between all parties. With enough rounds, there might not be any billionaires left
We can't really know how long it would take until we try.
Yeah, even if there was no inheritance and the property was taken by the state who would sell it to private entities, that extra money won't necessarily be spent towards those "in need" and will likely instead be spent on army or foreign aid to Israel or some shit - the usual capitalist state stuff
If we get enough force together to wipe out the billionaire donor class in 2 months, I'd be optimistic about our chances to affect how the money gets distributed afterwards. Otherwise, reload and go for round 2.
3 months it is then.
That’s why we need another Titanic like situation where whole families passed and the money went to cousins and distant relations.
If only the titan submersible was bigger. Dont worry, I'm sure there will be a third wreckage at that exact spot at some point.
2800 billionaires
The us has 15k shot children a year?
Edit: Checked the numbers, tldr meme kinda checks out
The us has 902 Billionaires in 2025 according to wikipedia citing forbes, up from 813 in 2024.
gunviolencearchive.org gives 4410 (12-17) and 797 (0-11) children shot (injured or killed) in 2024, and even more in 2021-2023.
Since the proportion of 11y.o. and under is low, and also the proportion of accidents was quite low at 5% in 2021, it seems plausible almost all those cases are of school-age children going to school.
It does not mean the schootings happened at school ofc., which to me the meme sounded like it implied at first.
Using 2024, if we take 6% off of the schootings for children we hit exactly 2 months. If we use rounding we could take out 25% of shootings for various reasons and the meme would still hold.
Edit2: 2 months might be enough for some of those surviving billionaires to get patched up and healed out ofc, so I recommend to keep going another few months just in case.
A very small price to pay.
I think itd be faster than that really
Kill all billionaires so they get replaced by current millionaires
It wouldn't lead to socialism or anything but a wealth cap of $999 million would still be an improvement
Gotta make them prestige, let em start over at $0 but with a badge that says "I won capitalism"

So much focus in the comments on the billionaires, and so little outrage about the frequency of school shootings.
I mean, fuck neo-liberal trickle-down economics. But also fuck gun culture.
Get rid of capitalism and you’ll get rid of school shootings. Inequality and alienation are the root causes of many of our problems today.
It’s sheer exhaustion. Both over the fact that it happens so much and the fact that our hands are tied by the reich wing gun nuts and their ideology that would rather have kids die than do anything about it other than put more guns in schools. So if you can’t beat the problem, redirecting it to something hypothetically beneficial with some dark humor is what we end up doing.
What if I told you we could solve all those problems by making them a tiny bit worse first, jist for two months, and then, in turn, preventing them from even worse in the future?
Prove it.
This is peak freedom. -CK
Billionaires are the true parasite class
Luigi opposes billionaires?
Odd stance for an Elon Musk fanboy.
