Worthy sacrifice for whom? How hard is it to understand that if 1 billionaire dies, another one takes their place immediately. Billionaires are not root cause of all worlds woes, but rather it's a symptom of a broken system that allows for such extreme accumulation of wealth. Inheritance should be abolished or at least have a max cap, but people will always cry it infringes on their freedom...

Yes they are. They are literally bribing the politicians into making life harder for everyone else. Then, when someone tries to ease the suffering by getting get a reasonable and minor socialism (e.g., universal health-insurance), they drop bankers' trucks against it while demonizing a scape goat of a minority that does no harm (see transgender people). They are literally repeating pre-revolutionary France. That is why people cheer when their planes crash.

Billionaires are like a cancer, they seek to grow grow grow without foresight on how that would affect their own environment in which they thrive. But what caused said cancer in the first place? And once again, the system allowed for them to accumulate enough wealth and power, and even still the system allows them to use that wealth and power for their own gain. Everything functions as designed in a capitalistic laissez faire system, that is until a critical point when it won't.

The system they designed.

Per their design.

"It's a cancer, so we should find a way to deal with the genetic cause of the cancer in our patient rather than cutting it out?"

Thank fucking Christ you're not an oncologist, because your own metaphor shows why you have to get rid of the billionaires immediately. First, cut it out if you can. Second, if it starts coming back, treat it with poison and hope the body doesn't die. Third, find a way to treat the genetic defect or environmental factor which caused it in the first place. You have to do all of those, but the first one is objectively more pressing.

If I kill one billionaire, and another shows up for me to kill again, and I can, physically, do that, I will kill them all until I fall dead of exhaustion or there are no more billionaires.

Exactly! Actually, we should end anyone over 80 million$

They literaly fucking are. A small Cabal of people since the collapse of Rome, corrupting the human race.

The arch-demons, and bane if the human race.

I don't know why you're being downvoted bro. You're exactly right. Billionaires are like a hydra. We have a system that breeds them, cranks them out, gives them safe harbor in the highest levels of government. Same thing with fascists. We (the people) need to vote them out, put much tighter walls around money and government ... but its not the individuals per se, it's the whole rigged system that needs to be fixed (or chucked), so that we don't keep breeding people like billionaires.

He is downvoted because he presented his point in a way that’s really annoying to read

Mind pointing out more specifically why it is annoying to read? English is not my native language.

Accusations like “how hard is it to understand…” and “people should…” feel preachy, since this is lemmy people are driven by feelings more than argument so something like “I believe…” is much more palatable

They didn’t use that language:

Reddit moment.

You see a tragedy where a crew and entire family with kids gets turned into char and your knee-jerk comment is "Weeell, were any of those people financially successful? Because if they were, that would turn this tragedy into a wholesome moment 🤗"

Mb 😭

yeah the term “Reddit moment” makes me cringe so badly i shrivel into a prune. The emoji as well

And I mean it still pretty accusatory with the “you see a tragedy…” and obviously supporting capitalists in any way is just gunna get you lynched

It's really only because you showed empathy.

Downvotes don't mean much here anyway. Someone else is heavily downvoted in this thread for simply pointing out I'm not a man. The users who enjoy watching death videos don't like their circle-jerking over dead people interrupted with any sort of kindness or care for others.

How long are you going to watch election after election, the dems stall until Republicans get to power again, before you realize that no, you cannot vote them out?

They are always looking out for their own interests, when will you realize that?

Billionaires are like a hydra.

so that we don't keep breeding people like billionaires.

Have you met billionaires? I have. They're just normal ass parents but with more money and less morals. They want us to fight the system because that's how they keep hoarding their wealth and passing it down.

Billionaires by in large, inherit their money from billionaire/millionaire parents.
