I hate that people dont just hit "fuck it" and go full French revolution on billionaires when they see them.
Tbh, I don't think I have ever seen one in-person
Surely someone has a list?
What are you doing when you see a billionaire?
I've never seen one in person, so probably walk by cluelessly.
No clue, I live in BFE ... so have never knowingly met one.
The French revolution was against the Aristocracy, not the Bourgeoisie. The masses know their king and lords but which Capitalist do they know besides Bill Gates and Elon Musk?
This is the issue.
About 2000 people need to be "arrested" and the 1% is gone.
If you do so without changing the law, don't you think the 1% will have the revolutionaries arrested first?
"Arrested" ... See the "quotes".
The revolutionaries can also be "arrested".
A country that regularly does regime changes will not be surprised by a revolution. I think there needs to be political change if the power structure should change. The interesting thing is that poor people in America probably still use more resources than the global average. Are people willing to support a change to own less?
theil and co. all have public addresses, screaming into the void is alot less work than tracking em down though
