    The state shouldn’t be in the business of killing people.

      While true, billionaires shouldn’t be in the business of existing.

      $12 billion dollars is the equivalent of the 1.3 million years of work in vietnam. that’s the livelihoods of more than 34000 people, stolen to profit one person.

        The Vietnamese government does things like this on a cyclical basis. Every rich person here and everyone in government is corrupt as fuck. The president resigned a few hours ago over corruption. The president before him resigned just over a year ago over corruption. They’re all stealing money. New government comes in and puts the old government in jail for corruption. A newer government comes in and puts that government in jail for corruption. Death sentences for people in top positions and bankers and whoever else. But they’re all corrupt. Everyone above middle class here is corrupt.

      Completely agree. Except for billionaires. Kill them all and do something useful for society with their money.

        Man people on this site are so bloodthirsty. Why not just seize their assets and liquidate them?

          I honestly think there is comfort in the idea that it will literally never happen so it’s easier for them to throw around “guillotine” in place of “I’m mad and I hate these people.”

          They’ll still argue that they mean it but they will literally never do it.

          Never.

          Again for those in the back, you people will never break out the guillotines, it’s all talk.

          YES, YES! Seize their assets and liquidate the billionaires!

          The damage billionaires can do by leveraging their money is so immense it could financially ruin many people’s lives. How many end up homeless or kill themselves out of despair? Their one life isn’t enough to balance the scales but it’ll send a very clear message to white collar criminals once one is executed: the damage you do is tantamount to first degree murder and will be punished as such.

        Not even then. There are countless examples of corrupt prosecutors pushing through convictions because they want a win, even when it was clear the accused was innocent.

        Without an absolutely perfect system of justice, I’m not willing to trust the state with executions in any circumstances.

          If you give the state a reason they’re allowed to kill people they’ll find a reason to argue that the people they don’t like fit that reason

            Yeah at a certain point (late 30s in my case) you start to doubt all these people, who knew the authorities were mad at them, had had warrants executed previously, had child porn on their computer. It’s like the “sprinkle crack on him” for politics
