      I’m fundamentally against death penalty, but in the case of Billionaires I believe we can and must do without whatever genetic or psicological traits they carry. We simply can’t afford that level of selfishness to survive as a species.

      They’d rather poison the earth and make it uninhabitable than being constrained in any way or form.

      Its certainly simpler, though hardly a solution. There’s always more billionaires unless you change the system that created them.

        Tax.
        Its not complicated. It might take a few goes to get it just right but what we have now is pathetic.

          I agree, but also…There are famously ways to avoid taxes. You need a backup plan when taxation doesn’t work. And remember, once someone becomes trully wealthy, they’re above the law.

        Tax them, give them a choice, and if they choose…poorly, then hang them.

        Pretty sure that you’d have less and less once you start hanging them, but of course, I am not an expert (yet).

        I mean would you want to become a billionaire if you knew you’d end up hanging?

        I’m definitely for a change of the system too, but in the meantime there always more rope too.

          Which solved for example all problems in all countries who ever went into a killing frenzy, see the monument to equality that is France.

          You belong into (at least) therapy.

      I won’t stand in your way. I am in principle against death penalty, but sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

      Yeah they think they’re so great and untouchable. Let them find out they’re mortal and fallible.

      It’s the same kind of “simple solution”, i.e. eradication of your enemies which the radical right Nazi fucks love so much. I hope that’s some food for thought, but you don’t seem particularly hungry for that.

      That signature American bloodthirst seems to be up your alley though.

        Ah, yes, because it was clearly Americans that perpetrated the French and Bolshevik revolutions

          There’s no way you think I said that 😂. Seriously, you can’t be this level of stupid, I refuse to believe it. You’re a troll.

          I mean holy shit, American reading comprehension meets their murder boner.
