I’d be willing to compromise by throwing them in jail and redistributing their wealth among the masses, but one way or the other billionaires should not exist
Do you think all billionaires deserve to die?

You’re as bad as the billionaires if you entertain the thought, luckily you’re just powerless to put it into action.
Nobody needs to die to fix the issue. They just need to be held accountable for the things they do instead of being enabled by the system that’s supposed to keep them in check.
If one billionaire went to prison and lost their wealth, the rest would fall in line immediately.

I agree, and I think people don’t understand my comments or post. Claiming someone deserves to die, celebrating their death, etc., is an extremely slippery slope that can be turned right back around on you. Like I said, you have the right to say whatever the hell you want and feel however you want. If these people think all billionaires deserve to die, they are entitled to feel that way if they want.
If someone thinks you deserve cancer, hopes you get cancer, or hopes your kid dies painfully in a school shooting, they are also entitled to feel that way, in the same way that you feel that way.
Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah are billionaires. One could argue, “You shouldn’t say they deserve to die.” However, you do have the right to say that; it’s the First Amendment. So yes, if you feel that Selena Gomez or Tyler Perry deserves to die because they are billionaires, then you can say it—you have that right.
At the exact same time, I have the right to say that your two young nephews deserve painful cancer, or that they deserve to die in a school shooting.
I don’t understand why the people in the comments are so upset with me. I’m just respecting everyone’s feelings and right to free speech.

They do not need to die but they need all their wealth and assets stripped from them. And none of that tax the rich bullshit, there should be no billionaires.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
No, but their fortunes need to be taxed.

They need to have their wealth and assets stripped from them. Taxes still allows them to extract wealth from the working class.

Everybody deserves a life of happiness, decency, and respect. Even billionaires. Their existence is problematic as it is predicated on violence. Against other people, against ecosystems, and against society. They should have a chance to rehabilitate. To show that they understand that the way they have done things is wrong and causes harm. They should work to mitigate that harm.
And if they can’t or won’t, then yes.

Impalement needs to start being dangled. We dont have infinite resources like them to see they are defanged. Its like life on a farm, surely, they will understand the analogy

I don’t think you can be a billionaire and be a good person. It is 100% true that if someone is that rich, and they tell you it’s from hard work, you should ask them whose, because no one gets that rich dealing fairly. Someone is getting rung out. A lot of someones. Do they all deserve to die? Hard to say for sure, but I see little to suggest keeping them alive is a wise decision, they rarely have much value to society beyond money at that point, and they’ve spent all of their humanity getting rich, so it’s not like it’s homicide ethically, even if it legally is. Still, I’m open to the hypothesis that there’s a human soul left in some of them, and if the evidence can be provided for such I’m eager to see it.

I don’t really think anyone “deserves” to die. I think people should be allowed to live if there is another way to stop them from harming others. I wish dictators dead but only because there seems to be no other way to stop them. I’d settle for them being imprisoned or just removed from power

Billionaire is a role. They don’t deserve to die. The role deserves to be abolished

Peter Thiel needs to go. These people do not go quietly or ever stop plotting and fucking around. They need severe rehabillitation where they are forced to learn they arent shit and the masses need to be released upon them to help them find their place.
