Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov
hector@lemmy.today 3 days agoAh yes, every time it’s billionaires and their people that are facing consequences all of a sudden we worry about the innocent being convicted, even as we know they aren’t innocent. They always play us, after conviction they will slip all of this talk about the carceral system not being rehabilitative, long enough to help give the judge they pay off cause to give them a lighter sentence.
Enough. These people were not just abusing girls and everything else, they were doing it to blackmail people to give them license to abuse others, abuses that are ongoing, and worse every day. Not problems confined to gaza and the west bank and iran either, it’s coming home.
There is nothing that can stop our trajectory into the abyss, except this scandal. It’s they key to laying waste to the corrupt oligarchy leading us to ruin, and on the cusp of killing our republic in all but name and replacing it with an unthinkable kakistocracy.

Yeah, I’m willing to sacrifice some billionaires for the greater good, without hesitation.
Sadly, not in the position to do so effectively.

There are no innocent billionaires anyway.

Wait, if I were to become a billionaire, would I get at least 30 days to give up wealth, or would I be considered evil instantly?

The act making a billion dollars alone requires acts that deserve a guillotine. I’d argue anyone actively trying to become a billionaire should be lined up for the wood chipper.

Are we gonna ignore the exploitation it took for you to have 900 million? 800? 500?.. nobody has an exact cutoff, but at some point an individual has effectively won capitalism, and that point is looooong before you reach 1 billion.
