    So many people are sitting on their hands going “Violence is never acceptable”.

    I think I ate a 3 day ban on one of the communities for making a joke about guillotining billionaires. Bunch of bootlicking cowards. I get not wanting to go and do some murder on your own, but come on.

      there is most certainly a point where you must start fighting dirty, and i think it’s time for us Americans to seriously start considering our use of that whole 2nd Amendment thing - murder is bad, obviously, but we are one of the most heavily armed populations in the world, and that means a lot.

      Because, and I’ll be blunt, a blanket of “guillotine billionaires” is disgusting. Billionaires shouldn’t exist but I have no qualms with Bill Gates or Warren Buffet for simply playing the game we were all forced to take part in.

      Some billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison however… They should all be hung for treason.

        I would give them a chance to divest before guillotining. But someone having that much money is disgusting. You know what you could do with that? You know how much was stolen from how many people to acquire that? That’s disgusting.

        Look at this “wealth to scale” website https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/?v=3

        In case you lost sense of how big these numbers are.

        But at least we agree that some billionaires should be hung.
