This is funny because it's true.
“The Future” by Naomi Alderman goes somewhere along these lines
Billionaires are the result of Capitalism, change the system, no more parasitic billionaires. Also chop off their heads.
We don't have to totally change the system. They can keep making billions of dollars, we can just tax 99% of it. Maybe they'll pay their employees more, if they know it's only going to get taxed away anyhow. And if they don't, well just take it from them.
Also chop off their heads.
That's where you lose. Keep it vague like "eat the rich"
But I'm not into vore.
So who runs shit in utopia?
Anyone but the ones doing it for profit.
I'd be up for a technocratie
we the people
A bunch of nerds who only cared about perfection.
That way the idea can't be corrupted cause a nerd's obsession is more powerful than anything.
But what is perfection?
System version 1.7.586 is coming out tomorrow.
Still better than the bs we are all running now.
That's basically how the bureaucratic class aka. the states middle management works.
autonomous collective
seriously though, are you saying capitalism is the best humans can ever have?
Me, of course ^_^
All right, so that's Plan A.
Nahhh fam we gonna pour concrete down their lil air holes hihi
No
Cum
I will provide it
You gonna fuck the air holes or something?
This is the incident with the dolphins in Seaworld all over!
I was hoping for something like:
"You were", she answered without hesitation.
Also, why would she be afraid of them? Without the system of power that upheld them, they are about as dangerous as the average human. Possibly less.
If anything, they're the ones who should be afraid. Especially the ones on the Epstein list.
That's way too on-the-nose.
And she could just be screaming to get people's attention to an outbreak of vermin. People scream when they see a mouse in their house, and mice haven't even ruined the world in centuries.
This! It's like having an outbreak of a long forgotten disease in this scenario, won't end humanity, but not great either.
Come to think of it, this is a wonderful idea...no assassinations needed.
Until they get out.
that's why we will block the doors
Fallout
If you know the TV series "Billionaires' Bunker", why not take inspiration from that? Rip them off buildinga fake nuclear shelter, create a fake narative and lock them up for good.
As much as I like the idea of locking billionaires away; the system that created them would still remain, their companies would still exist and there would still be plenty of unfeeling psychopaths with nothing but greed in their hearts.
Sounds like step one in a long process
As a species, we need to find a way to manage power, so that it isn't handed to the greediest, most dishonest, most evil and irresponsible people. If we are to survive as a species, we have to do better. It's not that we're fundamentally incapable of solving the problem. But the people currently in power will fight tooth and nail against any attempt to find or implement such a solution, since that will mean the loss of the power and privilege that they value above all else. The point of the fantasy scenario described is that without the ultra rich running interference, we'd have a better chance to improve the world. It's still a tough problem and requires large scale societal change such that business as usual doesn't continue as you described. Better education to make the public more aware, coupled with a few key changes to how governments work could give us a fighting chance though.
That's why we should build an aligned ASI and give it all the power
The solution: become the mole people, and live in a small lynchocraty until the surface people drive themselves extinct.
Don't let the best be the enemy of good. Lets start with the villains we know. I can kill/imprison the rest later.
Okay but have we tried this? Can we? Please?
Fallout S1 reveals what would really happen.
Tap for spoiler
Incontent with their underground paradise, they go out and obliterate all forms of civilization that aren’t them.
Not that it isn't the likely result of said group unexpectedly oozing out of their fuck-off cocoons dotting the wasteland their forebears created, but...
spoiler
the vault dwellers weren't exactly Reavers, sowing psychotic ruin in every step. More like baby Nazis squirming from the nursery vats, blinking in the light of the new world and unaware yet that the world doesn't want or need them. 🤓🤌🏼
Do the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy version then. Load them all into a ship, tell them we've discovered a habitable planet and we're sending our best and brightest to start a new civilization, and fire them into space.
Pretty sure you could at least get rid of Elon that way.
Too big of a cost.
Tell them we have a ship, and once they all gather with a big fanfare, roll out the guillotine while fireworks go off.
What would really happen
Other greedy fucks and power hungry people would replace them. We need a sustainable way to stop this being possible, banishing the rich by itself wont do shit.
That's why I gave up hope. I realized even if they got overthrown, and there was a power change, there would be just a surface-level change, with all the corrupt and sick shit, still happening underneath a democracy-flavored world.
It is probably harder to trick the next thousand richest people to go to their bunkers

They forgot to seal the vents and doors with cement.
