    Sometimes I forget how much learned helplessness resulted form 30 years of neoliberalism…

    Every “reason” you just gave, is an excuse popularized by neoliberals.

    Like, you understand for 99.99999999% of human history, we managed to stop people from becoming billionaires with almost zero effort, right?

    Some shit that started in the 1990s, can be undone

    It’s not fucking permanent just because you were likely born after it’s started.

    Not to mention:

    I think they need to be touched

    Your option is what they spend money on. They have security and actual bunkers.

    None of what your saying makes any logical or rational sense. You’re upset. Which is cool

    But people are talking about how to really fix it while you keep interrupting to jack off about how much you want to kill people for being “them”.

      This is a forum, it’s really not possible to interrupt people.

      So, again… your (barely coherent) plan was to jail them (you don’t specify exact reasons just ‘if they step outta line’) and talk about ‘millionaires’ as if that isn’t like 18% of the US population - and then when someone pointed out how that plan may have some teensy logical flaws, you assert they’re being irrational and upset?

      Like, you understand for 99.99999999% of human history, we managed to stop people from becoming billionaires with almost zero effort, right?

      Do you understand that we’ve only had capitalism for less than 99.9% of human history? And billionaires for less than the figure you quote? Wow, congrats: we stopped billionaires for the entire time they didn’t exist, hooray us.

      You know what fix to the burgeoise in France had lasting historical effects that are still being felt to this day?

      Chopping all their fucking heads off, coincidentally about 100 years into the start of capitalism.

      Far as I can see, the only person intellectually wanking off in this conversation is the person suggesting jailing an extremely powerful sector of the populace with only a tiny fringe of public support.
