Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing.

Everything from politics, climate change, workers rights, democratic government, technology, land rights, human rights can all be rendered down to people fighting another group of people who defend the rights of a billionaire to keep their wealth or to expand their control.

If humanity got rid of or outlawed the notion of any one individual owning far too much money than they could ever possibly spend in a lifetime, we could free up so much wealth and energy to do other things like save ourselves from climate change.

      It sounds like you want less Billionaires in the world! Be the change you want to see!

      Enough with advocating for violence already, it gets so old, and it’s ruining Lemmy.

      It also diminishes how other people see you, and the opinions you express, making them less likely to listen to your opinions.

        The poster did not advocate for violence. You can zero out the billionaires class peacefully. We literally have the power. We just need to stop getting distracted.

      I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy who knows someone with a pistol that is both willing and able to bring about the change you seek.
