    What’s wrong with assassinating the wealthy and powerful?

    What happens to powerful individuals in nature? They face young upstarts who take them down and destroy them. Life goes on.

    Everyone dies. It does not matter one iota how the wealthy and powerful die. They will. Society moves on. Their lives are of no lasting importance. Nobody needs them.

    So the wealthy and powerful don’t want to be killed early? Then they should stop clawing for limitless wealth and power. They don’t want the people they’ve oppressed to murder them? Don’t oppress regular people. If you don’t want wealthy powerful people to be assassinated, pass and enforce laws outlawing the hoarding of wealth and power.

    You don’t like it? Too bad. People like that need killing.
