Idk how ultra-wealthy people like this shitass don't understand that being taxed is the best outcome they can hope for. The alternative is people will eventually get desperate enough that they'll drag the rich cunts out of their houses and beat them to death in the streets.

    Oh they all know it happened before. The rich simply don't think it'll happen again.

    It's the reason they're buying islands and building bunkers.

    They forget we build the boats and planes and bunkers in the first place..

    And the cement trucks, excavators, and battering rams. :)

    It's a lot rarer than reddit/lemmy pretends it is. Historically it was more common for the rich to pay poor people to kill other poor people when they got uppity. Slave and peasant results fail like 95% of the time.
