…yes? But, as all people and legal systems agree, there are times when murder is legal and endorsed.

Are you a literal slave? If you play with meaning, you can turn everyone into a slave and kill everyone. Is that what you want?

Despite the downvotes, you are correct.

It’s asinine to even consider that a billionaire doesn’t have a will, let alone how awful it is to threaten a life.

They’d just be dealing with a younger, more entitled billionaire, who now wants to get revenge on the people that murdered their parent or benefactor. See Lachlan Murdoch, Charles Koch, any of the Waltons, etc. for example.

Oh OK we’ll just do that then

It will absolutely solve the problem,.

People dont want to die > People stop doing things that make others want to kill them > Success

It might have many unintended negative and positive consequences but you wont have any more billionaires very quickly if people literally killed anyone as soon as they amassed more than 1 billion dollars.

It would basically result in a voluntary 100% tax of anything over 1 billion because they dont want to die.

Sadly it will never happen because too many people would die in the process of getting there by the hands of people easily influenced by the billionaires money. (i.e. Police, Private Military, etc) But just a few martyrs would go a long way already and USAmericans have lots of guns.

All of this ofcourse only In Minecraft TM

I’m actually surprised (not really) how many people can come this close to getting it, but still be so desperate to follow the rules they’ve set (E: where they can directly and indirectly kill millions a year for profit with impunity, but we’re not allowed to even say nasty things about them, never mind plan to fight back against them, without being considered dangerous terrorists), that you manage to convince yourself billionaires will just freely and willingly give over those assets and all of the power that comes with them one day once we’ve asked nicely enough…

You’re being empathic towards people who have no empathy for you.

NOVA DRAGON

OK why don’t you go kill some billionaires then, instead of just fantasizing about it on the internet? Good luck and godspeed.

How is recognizing the financial failsafes of billionaires empathetic? I’m employing logic.

Did you miss the entire point of my comment because I also condemned taking a life?

I don’t think asset seizure going to be easy, but it’s going to be significantly more effective and safer for everyone than staging a new French Revolution.

If you’re truly advocating for murder on the internet (are you?), I don’t think there’s any point in trying to change your mind. I’m not “this close” to getting it — I already got it and rejected it.

No, no, we can’t be mean to the rich, that will upset them 🥺

Hey, it doesn’t all have to be work, work, work. Some fun is in order too.

People are killed daily not so indirectly by billionaires. Overpriced medicine, Military industry, Unhealthy products, Monopolization of water and other resources and land, poisoning ground water with industrial waste, unsafe work conditions, the list is endless.

There is almost no billionaire that isnt responsible for someones death and in a moral world they would be in prison. So morals are already completely out of the window.

Are you a vegetarian? Just curious.

Whoever made this needs help, murder is not good

vegan, actually.

have it worse in first world countries than they did in France during the 1700s

In absolute terms? Definitely not. The lowliest “unskilled” worker today has vastly more amenities than even a 17th century nobleman could even dream of.

In relative terms, however? The ultra-rich robbed you, me and every single other person on this planet. And to this you may retort that you do not care about wealth and are content with what you have. I would applaud such an answer, but it would be besides the point. What we’ve been systematically robbed of, is our time. Years, decades that could be spent enjoying your lives with our loved ones, instead spent slaving away at a desk or in a factory only to make the few who have everything even more. That, to me, is absolutely unforgivable, especially since I’ve long since past my physical prime and am still being robbed of this time against my will.

Now, if you want to alter the claim to “the threat of violence is needed,” then I would be more inclined to agree; however, individually murdering certain billionaires is not productive;

Again, I disagree. There are about ~2700 billionaires on earth out of ~8 billion people. Killing half of them and having that wealth redistributed would solve more problems than it would create. But if I do that, I’m thinking like said billionaires.

Which is the only way to fight them. If you try the moral and legal route, you won’t stand a chance because you’ll be fighting within systems and rulesets they have created to give themselves every (unfair) benefit.

Sometimes the disgruntled worker who shanks the boss is the hero we need.

Such as in wartime. And this is war, but most people are far too blind to see this.

There ya go. Carry on then.

I suspect this happens far more than you think. They just have amazing security details.
