    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

      Im a centrist, i think billionaires should have their wealth liquidated and socialized. You know, instead of murdering them in the streets and letting those that want to eat them…

        Not sure if this is missing a /s, but my suggestion is an opening salvo, not the end goal.

        Further, I’m not an advocate for anyone to eat shit. The rich should be mulched as a form of resource recycling.

          yes “compost the rich” has always been my preferred go to as well. Its more feasible and waaaaay healthier. For us.

          I think they are joking that redistributing their wealth and abolishing billionaires is centrist. Or rather, should be, and that murdering them all is the slightly more radical alternative.

          And honestly, yeah, why is it acceptable, at all, for a few select individuals to have such massive fucking amounts of wealth, and not just that, but have that be like… the “medium”/centrist opinion? That’s completely absurd. It should be in the realm of neofeudalism or neomonarchism. A far far right wing joke of an opinion.
