Spread this OC far and wide.
Billionaires should not exist. They should be taxed out of existence.
Seriously. If they want to keep their money, they should be forced to invest it in companies that generate jobs.
Isn’t that exactly where most billionaire’s wealth typically is? A lot is in stock of some company they started or invested in.
You can’t gobble up the excess value created by workers if there are no workers.
…unless you gobble up your rivals instead, creating a monopoly, shrinking the job pool through consolidation, sweating the remaining employees that are competing for the vanishing opportunities to keep a roof over their heads, causing market failure and generally fucking everyone over.
This is the strategy adopted by the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg, the Waltons, and arguably the majority of the biggest drains on our society. Billionaires
Well yeah, all that consolation and abuse of the working class means more productivity per person, and since we definitely aren’t going to pay them more that means we’re now worth $100 billion versus the measly, honestly embarrassing, ten figures we had a decade ago. Single-digit billions, could you imagine the shame?
/s but what you describe is honestly seen as a good thing by c-suite sociopaths. The super rich people you mentioned are heroes to them. Such efficient use of capital to create shareholder value!
Consider this: a million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. It really helps me understand just how obscenely wealthy these people are, how much money they are hoarding. They’re leeches.
By that measure, $100,000 a year for 60 years is 70 days.
And since a billion seconds is 31 years, Musk is worth almost 7000 years.
There are people on this planet who could give up 90% of their wealth and still ensure a more than comfortable life for themselves and their family, for a dozen generations and more.
And yet they keep all of it.
Then you’ll have the people defending them with the good old argument that no one should be expected to give up their hard-earned wealth.
Sure, except these twats „earned“ it through exploitation and misery. No one gets this filthy rich with honest and fair work, that’s not how the game works.

Can we just get here already, these memes are nice, but where are the actual guillotines?

I’m hungry, are you?
Hungry like a french peasant from 1789.
They learned a lesson from that, now they have us bickering with each other over rich political figures who we treat like celebrities. So, it’ll take longer to come to the French Revolution stage, by then they’ll be in safety bunkers.
Bunkers fail, and we have mining equipment.

Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too
For me the main point is: If you are able to execute your enemies publicly on the guillotine, you have already won and actually have better(more in line with your ideals) ways to deal with ex billionaires.
I agree. Launching them into orbit and shoving them out the airlock would garner a much greater sense of poetic justice.
Exactly, they can repay their debt to society in hard labour camps.
Speaking of guillotines…
Can anyone here edit videos?
I have an original piece of music of about 1 minute length, I was hoping to work with someone on adding images of rich people mixed what short clips of a rising guillotine blade or something like that.
The audio is ready. I was thinking of editing some video for it myself, but it is not really my area of expertise…
We didn’t chose our leaders. Leaders got billions because we chose to do nothing.
Why do you think corporations strive in America and at the same time the people gets the shit (bad labour laws, bad healthcare, bad wages) compared to Europe? Because they’re better?
Fuck no, it’s because of Europe. The founding fathers created a “weak” government on purpose, leaving the power to we the people. Why do you think we’re the only country in the world with a Second Amendment?
(Except Mexico and Guatemala but that’s a different story…)
But guess what, Americans are lazy, we had a duty and we didn’t answer the call… so who filled the hole? People with ambitions. And people with ambitions create companies, and companies value profits, not wellbeing.
We didn’t chose billionaires. Billionaires got billions because we chose to do nothing.
Yep, sending them to the guillotine is certain to solve…what problem, exactly?
