    Short sighted goals by people who don’t understand billionaires. What do they plan to accomplish with this? A billionaire could pay off someone’s $500,000 mortgage, their $30,000 car, pay off $50,000, give them $100,000 in cash and forget about it the next day. That’s $680,000 in a single day which would only be 0.06% of their wealth. Dox them all you want. They will alight about it when they exchange stories.

      What the fuck do you think simping for billionaires will get you?

      This is class warfare. You will not be thanked or rewarded for what you are doing. They expect you to fall in line. If you actually care about your fellow humans and citizens, disabuse them of that notion.

      Remind them that we can burn their house down with them inside or shoot them in the face. They’re just sacks of meat like anyone else.

      I feel like the implication here is obvious so I’m not sure what’s confusing to you about it.

      They could, but they won’t, and that’s part of the problem.

      If billionaires walked around clearing people’s mortgages and paying for everyone’s dinner, they’d be less hated. They’d still be a problem, but they could buy popularity.

      But they don’t. Because they’re assholes.

      Maybe this will scare some of them into changing the behavior. Maybe it will get some of them killed.

      they can, the oligarch always used to push people away. forcing other people to do their bidding. by doxxing them it makes them feel vulnerable, annoyed or at very least hassled by it. thats the point.

      I’m with you. All this is doing, is sending them a warning. They’ll bump up their security & all this posting would be rendered useless.

      Luigi Mangioni didn’t send out warning posts.
