One billionare showing up publicly lynched or drawn and quartered will get the rest in line. If not, two or three dozen more will do the trick.

No. What will happen is the rich will surround themselves with more security and will have a legitimate reason to be more aggressive towards who they consider a menace. If you want to change society, get involved in politics, involve those who think like you, and be patient.

Yeah they will, but they won’t stop either way. You have to kill them all. There is no functional society with billionaires in it.

If your idea of a functional society is one where all billionaires have been killed, I wouldn’t call it functional.

That historically works out great for the oppressed hungry masses with nothing to lose.

It kinda does. The New Deal, minimum wage laws, education reforms in many countries in the 60s are a few examples that come to mind. But now your turn: when has a violent revolution been beneficial to the oppressed masses in the last two centuries?

It would give them more power. You wanna see what psychopathic minds given a reason to work together and given victim cards can do? I don’t.

The rich are brought in line by denying them of power, not feeding them more power by offering reasons for them to get protected even more.

You wanna go that route, be prepared for a lot of collateral damage and extended times of hardship.

That…doesn’t even make sense.

Scared of what? The rich or the lynchings?

In context, you kind of just sound like an evil rich person trying to threaten me lol. I imagine that wasn’t the dramatic effect you were going for.
