I don't think that particular game is hunted on the streets.

They have meticulously maintained resorts, islands, megayachts, etc for exact purpose.

It's no proper sport tho, once the staff stops protecting them, they just stand there sucking their thumbs.

But it's still fully worth it, once the kill is done & the empire (for at least a moment) falls, nature can't believe what just finally happened, etc.

I'm not against but I feel like we have to establish boundaries. Like how rich is rich game? Is a weathy dude huntable? What about people that won the lotery? I Imagine billionaires are the better target right?!

Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops ...and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.... do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

That's the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

That doesn't even address whether there's a market in human meat and wealthy traders... And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario....

Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

ah but we know who they are no? that means we can find them.

Most of them are paying teams of retired Navy seals to protect themselves.

I hope your bow skills are enough to kill their armed bodyguards first.

I bet a couple dead goons would convince the rest to find safer employment. They do that job because they know there's very little risk protecting some rich asshole

I don't know. Personally I'm a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).

But what are you going to eat once you run out of rich people?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)
