In the 2020 presidential election cycle, more than $14bn went to federal candidates, party committees, and Super Pacs – double the $7bn doled out in the 2016 cycle. Total giving in 2024 is bound to be much higher.

That money is not supporting US democracy. If anything, that money is contributing to rising Trumpism and neofascism.

    Lined up and taxed back into being millionaires? Sounds good. No need to be a psychopath. You’ll have better chances getting people to agree to raising taxes on the rich than you will getting them to agree to murder.

      Liquidating the several thousand billionaires in the world could eliminate world hunger and poverty many times over, and solve the climate crisis. If there was a button that would launch a billionaire into the sun I would press it nonstop

      The odds of any politician regulating and taxing billionaires is laughable. Itd probably end up being easier to line them up tbh

      We cannot suffer any of them to survive. Not just because of their many varied crimes, not because forcefully separating their heads from their bodies will immediately solve many problems that we cannot otherwise solve. We need to kill each and every one of them, because allowing them to remain will risk them attempting to retake the world. They have never known life without their privilege and cannot fathom a world where they do not have it.
