If you assassinated or executed all the billionaires in the world nothing would change. They are just figureheads at the top of a big corporate mound. Yes they are absurdly personally rich, but the majority of that wealth is tied up in the value of companies that they own - the companies wouldn't go anywhere, and they would continue to do the same bullshit with or without a billionaire at the top.

Other 196's:
Pretty sure if all the billionaires were written in a death note then would-be billionaires would think twice. What's missing is repeated culling, then they would do more then think twice.
Agree with OP... societal/systemic changes would be great, but I'd never wish death on anyone.
I know it's pretty common on here, but rhetoric about killing people, guillotine memes, etc skeeve me out
No. I want to murder big-business, but I fear it's already too late.
Haha jk.... unless
The prevelance of the "murder billionaires" mindset and other generally negative attitudes and suggested violent solutions to everything - even more often and more exaggerated than reddit - is probably gonna chase me off lemmy. It's everywhere here. Even blocking all the explicitly political communities isn't enough to keep it away. This platform has a lot of growing up to do, and I'm not sure if it's gonna do it.
You wouldn’t last a day around gen Zers with that attitude bud.
Glass half full, there's very little talk of murdering millionaires, so hypothetically things are looking up!
