In case the message isn’t clear, the message is to destroy wealth until it magically saves the world.

Oh shucks, you’re right, I guess we’d better just try doing nothing at all instead and hope that works. Or we could β€œvote” away climate change. Sure, our governments keep ignoring the public in favour of big oil companies, but maybe if we just vote harder they might finally listen to us.

The only period of diminishing atmospheric Co2 concentration in recent history was the COVID lockdown, so halting production and destroying wealth seems to work ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

we are not suggesting running around and shooting billionaires, that’s not a revolution, the Bolsheveik revolution didn’t just assassinate the Tsar, there was more.

if saving nature is profitable, why isn’t there an insanely rich person who solved global warming yet?

The only solution rich people have come up with is lying and pretending normal people are responsible so they will buy greenwashed products that won’t make much an impact. Individual electric cars are highly energy intensive and rely on metals mined by child labor, the real solution (accessible public transit) is simply not profitable, the car lobby won’t allow it. The other solution they have is pumping chemicals into the sky to bleach it and artificially block the sun. Is that really what we want? The US military is the number one polluter, when’s it going to be profitable to end them? It won’t because militarism is where the money’s at. Also, rich people didn’t deal with Covid because of their wealth. Millions died because they wanted people to get back to the office and buying things. The people who got rich were entertainment and tech companies. The vaccine wasn’t developed because rich people knew what to do, it was done because the government paid companies to do it and let them keep the money. They then stopped people from getting access to good vaccines through intellectual property and patents, allowing them to get even more money.

Well yea, for example in my country some problem solvers got rich during COVID by overcharging the state for imports of medical and hygienic supplies, because our industrial network is so eroded due to globalization-relocalization that apparently we aren’t even able to manufacture some simple face masks anymore. Wealth accumulation never stops, even in a recessive scenario. It just gets accumulated in less hands. (Edit because bad english)

I remember the rich during the beginning of COVID saying a lot of us should die so the economy keeps rolling.

The covid lockdown disrupted the global economy, starting WW3 and thereby putting human civilization at risk.

End of civilization would solve the problem for once, but I’m afraid we are not so close. The wealthy will adapt and continue business as usual. Only the poor will suffer.

Did you just blame a future world war on COVID lockdowns?

I can’t imagine unironically agreeing with this

We don’t want to destroy wealth, we want to harness it to the needs of the masses and the planet, not for mindless dragon gold piling or endless growth.

The proletariat can always use force to reappropriate the wealth that is stolen from us.

Wealth is not the problem. Individuals wielding wealth in a way that hurts the rest of us is the problem. Not all rich people are overtly evil. But some are, and acknowledging that seems like as good a place to start with a solution as any.

No, i think there would be very specific, priority targets that would make sense to take out. You cant get rid of wealth in itself anyways.
