Imagine all this money funneling into AI when they couldve funneled it into you know humanity instead of for profit. Almost like a lesson of fear is needed instead of taxes now.
Now do 0.000001%!
How about every year, the richest person gets beheaded.
Change it to “hourly” and I’m on board. Musk, he’s chopped immediately, and Bezos suddenly has fifty-nine minutes and fifty-seven seconds to splash his entire net worth on the public.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Sounds like a good chance to optimize capitalism to make sure they get the other 49% as well!
Taxing the rich is the same as going where the money is. Why get blood from a stone when there are a few sacrificial blue blooded lambs that can provide?
came🧵 to post ☝️:
The sign holder fails to comprehend the problem.
Cool. Nobody doing shit about it.
.001% is doing a lot!
Not until their Internet is offline. Then shit’ll get real. Or maybe not even then.
Im still hoping people will learn to use the internet as a tool for organizing. Probably wont happen on mainstream socials though
Can’t do it out in the open without being infiltrated by the enemy, have to try and do it through encrypted channels which means less reach.
Watch out, I learned that there are some guys here that are VERY defensive about their grass allergies.
I don’t doubt it.
But how does one measure this exactly?
So name them. Stop referring to numbers so small we use them to “scare” people.
NAME. THESE. CAPITALIST. MONSTERS.
They’ve been named.
The entire planet full of homo sapiens are too illiterate to do anything about banks.
countries riot and rebel over less
Whichs?
This must be the A+++++ economy Trump was talking about.
I rememeber when “the 1%” was a thing. It wasn’t that long ago.
And no one really cared. The rich just do want they want and entire countries full of people just spend and spend and pretend like a Balenciaga T-shirt that took them 100 hours of labor to afford is worth mountains of systematic injustices.
I’m so tired of this timeline.
The issue with “the top 1%” term is that most people can name 100+ people, so it feels as though being in that group is attainable.
Especially when you realise that in the US, there would be ~3.3m 1%’ers.
The reality is that we should be focusing on the top 1% of the top 1% of the top 1% (~330 US individuals); the top 0.0001% - if you will.
They hold outsized political and economic power; you are not part of that group, you will never be part of that group, and they can/will squeeze you for every penny they can.
Lots of people cared.
The 1% didn’t.
