    Billionaires deserve to be abolished. If they won’t give up control of the world’s resources by choice, then yes they deserve to be killed, as an act of collective self-defense by the ecology against them. And so far, they have never voluntarily given up control.

      They can’t actually resist appropriation personally. That would be like one person trying to stop all of 1000 people from crossing an imaginary line that’s 10 miles long.

      The problem isn’t that they’ll personally resist but that they will spend their resources on a private military to protect their assets.

          It’s not a straw man. How does my argument connect to my post? I didn’t say if I agreed with you or not. If you think billionaires deserve to die then thats your right to think that way, you are entitled to how you feel and it’s your first amendment right to say that.

          Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah are billionaires. One could argue, “You shouldn’t say they deserve to die.” However, you do have the right to say that; it’s the First Amendment. So yes, if you feel that Selena Gomez or Tyler Perry deserves to die because they are billionaires, then you can say it—you have that right. At the exact same time, I have the right to say that your two young nephews deserve painful cancer, or that they deserve to die in a school shooting.

        Fascists, anticommunist liberals, LGBTphobes, statists, and conservatives have been wishing infinite violence and death on me, my friends, and my family for my entire adult life. I sleep like a baby knowing that my enemies are monsters and that I must be doing something right for them to want to kill me. The billionaires also sleep like babies because they are open monsters and have no conscience.

        …are you a billionaire? Be honest.

        What has this person done to deserve cancer?

        Billionaires exploit and their actions directly negatively impact billions of humans and other creatures on this planet

        They actually give people cancer by mass polluting

        Someone would have to be pretty provoked to want that for someone else who isn’t a dick like me. What we’re seeing here for provocation is the systematically terrible things Mr Musk and other elities have done in the name of profit or power.

        There’s a certain point where gluttony becomes so egregious that it’s probably due to something illegal or highly immoral.

        We should have a trial, I guess.
