I think many poor people do not realize how deliberately cruel the rich are being. They cannot imagine someone looking at a whiteboard planning debilitating poverty and misery for millions of people. They think that the situation is unfortunate and unavoidable somehow, and not deliberately made.
This violence-against-the-owning class rhetoric is going too far. Killing other humans is never justified. Tax them into oblivion and make them work for a living like the rest of us. There’s a massive difference between having disdain for billionaires and wanting to kill them.
Killing other humans is often justified. For instance, it would be completely justified to kill someone who was in the process of shooting up a school.
In the same way, billionaires are guilty of causing the deaths of millions of people through their hoarding of necessities. Killing the billionaires would allow this wealth to be redistributed, saving potentially millions of lives.
I think the difference is that a school shooter is in the middle of a violent act and is an immediate threat to the lives of anybody around them. Usually the only way to put an end to the harm they’re causing is to meet that violence with the same level of violence. It’s not a just act, it’s a tragedy, but it’s ultimately necessary to prevent further injustice.
Hoarding an incomprehensible amount of resources and lobbying for a system is easier to exploit is amoral and causes harm to our society but it is not a violent act and is not an immediate threat to anybody’s life.
These memes spreading violent rhetoric against a class of people this community is at odds with is starting to feel like other corners of the internet that I don’t want to be involved in.
Were the people who fought and killed the nazis in WWII monsters? No, they did it to protect humanity. Sociopath billionaires going away is also necessary to protect humanity.

I have been saying something slightly similar, but rather that laws should no longer protect them.
“We’ve decided on one year of really high inflation.”

This right here.

One of the campa we are in, unless you’re one of the machete holders.

Billionaires own the government and will never allow themselves to be taxed enough to matter.
I’d wager we have a much better shot at passing legislation for a billionaire tax than legalizing murder.
I’d rather not become the monsters just to get rid of the monsters.

“Limp wristed”? You sound an awful lot like the fascists that I’m opposed to.
