    What is the answer when the wealthy murder countless people but hide it by doing it indirectly?

    How are people supposed to make them stop?

    Because the murder that the wealthy are doing needs to stop.

    Everyone who is not them needs it to stop.

        When does it stop being murder and become social justice? One does not become a billionaire without exploiting others in some way unfairly

          when you get enough people to agree to actually pack up their squeamishness concerning homicide to go through with calling it “manslaughter in self defence.” At that point it becomes one of three things depending on who leads the charge: A civil war if the sycophants to the system have enough firepower to empower “loyalists” to fight for them, A Revolt if the people elevate one of their own, (most likely a leader in some grassroots org) or a Revolution if there are enough people already in power to rally the troops so-to-speak. It can morph to one of others others at any point though. Of the three, Revolutions tend to be the fastest if conducted surgically with some sort of Coup-d’etat scenario.

      This is a well understood phenomenon well explored in many books with both nuanced and obvious answers, please ask your local librarian to direct you. In the mean time I’ve heard the new movie I Love Boosters is really good…
