I'll let the normies keep swift if we can keep gabe

Well history shows, that guillotining your ruling class, such as happened in France, leads to centuries of uninterrupted and rational peace and prosperity. The French successfully ended all wars, and liberalism ushered in an instant and uninterrupted 250 year peace. Since they designed their guillotines not to cut the heads of any undeserving peasants who were caught in the political maelstrom, and enlightened the peasants so that every citizen was not just a productive and conscientious member of society, every French person and all of their descendants has become a productive civic philosopher. No despot ever managed to come to power in France ever again, and certainly not within 10-15 years.

Having successfully merged society with the Hegelian world spirit of human freedom, the rest of Europe gave up all colonies, freed the people, and helped them achieve a level of national and self actualization in line with the French wave of historic human transformation. No despot ever managed to come to power in Europe again.

Now, the world's children know no fear or hunger, only freedom and reason; and its all thanks to the fact that the French did such a good job chopping the heads off of exactly the right people.

This is really simple. If you have more than a 1000 million dollars. Every day you decide to keep it instead of saving lives and helping people. It will never be moral

I'm not eating Elon Musk. That's like dumpster diving behind a cracker barrel.

since the game news shelf ui update he really does deserve to be eaten

Gabe is not the enemy

He can buy his freedom by using his wealth to finally release hl3

We can save him for desert.

He has 6 yachts from kiddie gambling...

A billionaire who gives away 99% of their wealth to the poorest, first and exclusively, isn't a billionaire, and still has enough money (maybe more!) for the rest of time.

In my opinion if anyone has billions of dollars and hasn't given a majority of it away to charity or those in need, that person is on some level at least somewhat an evil person.

Sure, much of it would be tied up in stocks and stuff that legally can't be sold for specific purposes or timeframes, but if you have net worth in the billions and any stocks that could be sold for cash and then donated it should be. Or if you have an annual income that's much more than you need to live an extremely comfortable life and then you just spend and invest the excess instead of donate.

There is no such thing as a good billionaire. There are billionaires who might be temporarily aligned with you but make no mistake, none of them will love you back..

"Billionaire" is a convenient modern buzzword. It used to be "millionaire". The classic joke from Austin Powers where Dr. Evil demands money is a good example. It's just inflation.

Plus, a lot of "billionaires" are only considers such because they own shares in their corporations. It's a "theoretically if they could find a way to sell all of those shares at the current price without tanking the market value of those shares in the process, they could get $X billion from that".

If there were a theoretical global revolution, on of the the first steps of eating the rich is to seize and nationalize those businesses. Later, land reform will seize the extra mansions they own. They will still be left with adequate personal property to live quite comfortably. Finally, the justice system will need to evaluate what labor laws (or other laws) they may have been violating for years and using their wealth to get away with.

Start with the biggest fish and watch as the rest start to downsize voluntarily and cut deals to avoid jail.

I don't expect to see any of this in my lifetime. Not in any major country, and certainly not globally.

Offer him the option to transition Valve to a workers cooperative. Boom, he would no longer be a billionaire.

If it were to be a revolution he would be given the chance. Just be a director of valve for a normal director salary. If he take it then he would be just another worker.

Give him the ability to divest his wealth first.

Just universal wealth redistribution, there is no way a human may ever deserve to accumulate so many resources...

I have no problem with people who contribute a lot of value to society being proportionally rewarded. However, having a net worth in the billions is just plain ludicrous, especially since the billionaires aren’t the ones creating all the value, they’re just controlling it. For example, did Gabe invent everything that makes Valve as successful as it is, or was most of it designed and developed by engineers who are paid a fraction of what he is paid? Even if most of Valve’s IP started with Gabe and other engineers were doing the grunt work to “make it so”, that still shouldn’t mean that society allows this one man to control billions worth of our societal resources.

I personally don't like the idea of murder, I'd if we-the-people get into power, just pass laws that taxes them, then enforce the law as such. If they resist, jailtime for tax evasion.

For those that are exceedingly cruel with their time as a billionaire, they get tried, judged by a jury of average people, 2/3 is a conviction (as opposed to the unanimity required now), life imprisonment.

Billionaires and their heirs are deprived of political rights.

Easy peaceful transition. Zero bloodshed

I don't like bloodshed, because once that starts, once we "okay" mob killings, people are gonna attack anyone they don't like, including small bussiness owners they had a grudge against in the past.

I have empathy, I don't wanna see the streets filled with blood.

There is a finite amount of money in this world. For one person to have more means others have less. There is no going around that simple fact.

We don't have to eat them all, but we do have to take their money.

Billionaires aren't your friends. Corporations aren't your friends.
