    Too many people think they’ll be rich one day to fight.

      Aside from that, there are a distressing amount of people who think violence is never okay. And by violence I mean direct, immediate, violence. Denying someone health care for profit is cool. Telling someone to work an extra unpaid hour or they’ll be fired, and risk eviction and starvation, that’s fine. But the idea of taking an ultra wealthy man’s blood soaked money by force? Fetch the pearls and smelling salts, it’s pearl clutching and fainting time.

      Yes, yes, non-violent protest is allegedly more effective*, but I’m not going to be mad if some rich asshole gets his skull cracked.

      * but like is it though? we still have a capitalist hellscape

    There are only ~3000 billionaires in the world. It wouldn’t take many like-minded folks to remove them from this world

      I guess the problem is what happens to their money once you’ve murdered them? For each billionaire, do you then have to murder 5 poorly raised nepobabies who are now billionaires due to inheritance. You murder those (probably) arseholes and now your murdering 15 children who are now billionaires. And this only focuses on immediate family, what about extended family? Do you have to worry about this wealth like you would royal succession? Do we need to wipe out whole family lines? Personally I’d like to see these drains on our social cohesion stripped of all they’ve amassed and be forced to experience life like a normal person.

    Who’s the 340 million?

    I’m guessing the US population. Of which millions support and admire billionaires. Look at their current political situation, they even voted for it.
