Why is passive violence never acknowledged? Wealthy people create conditions in which poor people die and are harmed. Boeing literally has planes dropping out of the sky killing hundreds, all because an executive and investors want more money and power. Their punishment, a small fine. A politician can wave away health care for millions of people resulting in death and injury… Nothing but a high five from those that decry “violence.” and don’t get me started on the oil industry… If the wealthy and powerful can indirectly kill millions with out punishment to the extreme then we don’t have a society.
Who’s joking? Because when they (the wealthy and powerful) say they’ll send your children to die in wars and to be injured working in unsafe conditions… They are not joking.
The systematic oppression of everyone without wealth didn’t erode your faith in humanity but a couple people suggesting we kill our masters did? Well, at least you’ve got the moral high ground
Haven’t noticed the skyrocketing wealth gap, eh? Costs going up for us while profits go up for them? Government policies that benefit them at our expense? Laws that don’t seem to apply to people with money? Maybe I’m the crazy one
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but you’re clearly just trolling.
It is theoretically possible to get a billion dollars morally (by like… Winning multiple lotteries or something) but it’s impossible to remain a moral billionaire when there’s so many people dying from hunger and preventable illness.
It’s okay when my side threatens violence.

Both sides have reasons that are the same, right? /s
I’m okay with any threat of violence when the threat is a very obvious joke.

If you’re not joking, when and where are you planning to set up said guillotine?
It’s usually when people start starving.
yes, unironically. the other side is fucking billionaires, dude.
I know they’re a tiny minority, and most of these extremists are literal kids, but they sure are successful at eroding my faith in humanity.

You’re describing the sympoms. I was asking about the cause. “Systemic oppression of anyone without wealth” is quite a bold claim.
The cause is literally wealth hoarding. By those being recommended to the guillotine. They didn’t happen by accident.
You’re being quite vague. What is wealth hoarding? Is Elon Musk the richest man in the world because he’s hoarding wealth?

People like you are why I no longer wonder where evil movie villains find all those faceless henchmen.
You will never be one of them. No matter how nice you are to them they will treat you the same as anyone else they see as inferior.
