To get a real trickle down effect, you'd need to tax them and watch the tears trickle down.
How about off with their heads since they'll just find ways to dodge taxes?
Yup. Only trickle I wanna hear is the blood of billionaires
They got the bomb we got the guillotine
There Lemmy goes inciting violence again. Why is it considered okay if it is the right kind of subversion? 99.9% of people are rational but that leaves millions that take this as a calling.
It isn't like billionaires constantly ruin the life's of people and are only in the position they are by stepping over the corpses and suffering of others OH WAIT
Just FYI: Elon musk inherited his wealth literally from an emerald mine. Jeff Bezos is known for his current atrocities against his employees. Bernard Anault is in kahoots with genocidal dictators. You don't become a billionaire without violating human rights.
As the saying goes: They only call it violence when we fight back.
No, it's just violence. There is no immediate threat on your life right now and this is premeditated.
The deaths from people starving, becoming homeless, being denied medical care, or devastated by climate change, all so that wealthy capitalists don't risk becoming workers again, are also premeditated.
Well, everyone is entitled to a fair trial. They are not guilty or eligible for capital punishment until that's completed and found guilty by a jury of their peers. Try again, extremist.
It wouldn't be fair, they're billionaires. This is the whole problem, and why people start talking about eating them (which I don't really understand) or chopping their heads off. If we were civilised, we wouldn't have billionaires, so let's not be too coy about this.
Because it is okay.
This is what convinces people that Lemmy has a bad community fyi.
I just don't think we need billionaires.
So you kill them?! Is this how you solve all of your problems?
Of course not! And I'd settle for asset seizure.
So maybe don't advocate for murder. Additionally, don't suggest it as a solution if your views do not represent the majority opinion. That's literally called radical extremism.
I wouldn't dream of it, but I also won't shed any tears should such an event occur. I think extreme inequality is a much bigger evil.
Just rid them of all their money. 100%
