    getting firearms across international lines is a little trickier than shooting dumbfuck CEO’s, though. Not advocating anything; just commenting on availability and transportation of firearms.

    And personally, I’d rather see billionaires sit in prison and watched their assets get nationalized than to see them die, but given the stranglehold money has on justice systems around the world, one of those is a less likely solution than the other…

      You can take it a step further, I wish they haven’t fucked us to the point where the violence is getting cheered on. They’re caging and starving a leopard, it will eat their faces eventually.

      The fun thing is, with enough estate taxes, we’d reach that end goal in a way.

        Those have been carved away as well and there are always other ways to transfer wealth:/ Eventually, seizure is probably the option if there’s a group willing to make that happen. Depends on the trajectory of the government, though, but my money is on more BS tax breaks and moneyed protectionism unless there’s a significant upheaval.

          They have, though not completely. In the end, the rate at which such wealth is transfered through such a method is largely irrelevant, as it only effects the number of burgoise needed for the same effect. And as evidenced by this week’s events, everybody* is ok with that, ignoring the increased difficulty.

            True. I mean, it really is a bit of Vulcan chess with regard to all the external factors. Historically, at some point, there is likely a group that will come around and hoover all that up or destroy/squander it. Depending on their goals, this could be better or worse lol
