        I tend to lean more towards ‘consume’ and ‘mulch’, myself. Though I understand why others would find that distasteful.

        Has to happen every few hundred years it seems, slave uprisings. When the owner class gets too fat and cruel towards the hands that make their wealth, those hands have to pick up some stones sometimes to remind them why noblesse oblige was once not considered optional.

      I dislike dividing people into owning and worker classes. If the workers save up their earnings to make their living in the old age, does it make then “owner class”? Should they stay penniless in your world vision? It’s the utopian world you propose

        I’m not arguing semantics or gradients, eat/compost the rich to save the planet. Period.

        I’m not proposing a utopian world, those are words you are shoving in my mouth.

        I"m proposing a world where the global temp is slowed down enough that our grandkids have a chance at a life on a planet that isn’t an ecological disaster.

          It’s not semantics as you try to portray. It’s the real life case that simply negates your “solution” if any.

            The old couple sitting on 2 mil and pacing it out so they can enjoy their retirement are not owner class.

            The shitstain owner of the local car lot that is using his friends on the city council to change local zoning laws so he can force his competition out and buy their land is EXACTLY the stripe of shitstain I want to mulch.

            And it doesn’t negate any solution, history has proven the effectiveness of slave uprisings.

                They can go in the mulcher too, everyone who abuses others to increase their own personal wealth and power. IDGAF what their government or economic label of the decade is, every power structure becomes toxic when abusers are shielded from justice.
