yea I already think it is one of the biggest threats but it is just a tool not the source. you destroy this tool they will find another. the problem is billionaires getting intermingled with politics and state affairs. We need a separation of state and billionaire affairs.
We need to outlaw having more than $100,000,000 in personal wealth. You hit that mark, and you get a "Congratulations! You won Capitalism" medal. Tell them it's made of unobtanium, but just make it out of a titanium steel alloy.
After that every single penny they make is poured into "The Sovereign Fund For Humanities Poor."
This would absolutely fund UBI, and climate change solutions.
ideally yes but that might take sometime (if one follows a more peaceful approach that is...). This is more like an emergency measure, completely sever ties of billionaires with any politics and state business. If it becomes a norm in some European countries like separation of state and the church, then others would follow hopefully.
A non-peaceful solution would be preferable. The billionaires have clearly chosen to kill as many of us as they can get away with. Killing them back is just self defense at this point.
Musk alone has killed thousands, subjected thousands to cancer risk, given HIV to babies, fueled violent murder sprees by dozens of radicalized Nazis. Bond villains arent as evil as him, and he gets adoring fans for the death he causes.
I am also completely OK with redistribution of excess wealth or anything that applies going forward too as long as this mental disease is dealt with and people recognise it for what it is.
It is absolutely a severe mental derangement
