Once you pop, you can’t stop.
As in literally eat one? Ew, I don’t want to get billionaire cooties
Can we do something else instead?
Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?
Only way to do that is through taxes and a world wide wealth cap.
Anyone worth a million dollars has all their next income 100% go to taxes until their worth goes below
Nobody should be able to just gather unlimited resources
“fall in line” here means redistribute their unearned wealth
it means avoiding being eaten. The People are easily placated. That’s how they become billionaires to begin with, no one stops them because shiny thing! The other billionaires would each donate like 10% of their wealth to foundations they already control and people will think that’s so fucking awesome of them.
then we’ll eat a second
Because billionaires are inevitable thanks to our economic system and the indomitable human spirit.
If we eat them all, they will just keep spawning
I think “eat the rich” implies also a significant change in the economic system towards something actually democratic and scientific.
Democracy was a mistake. It allows any idiot to rule as long as the people choOse them.
We need something like a god emperor ruling upon us or something.
Neoliberal western democracy is not the only style of democracy possible
Luigi shot one, they only upped their security. We must not stop at one.
CEOs aren’t often billionaires, they 100% do the whipping for them though
Brian Thompson only had a net worth of $43m when he died.
That is mere pocket change to the actual Billionaire class, where the three most wealthy individuals on this planet each extract $40m+ of interest on their net worth PER DAY.
Once is an outlier. Twice is a coincidence. Three or more is a threat.
We didn’t eat him. I really think it’s the cannibalism that sends the message.
that’s the point, it can’t be just one. has to be at least two or three.
After the first one they did get scared like you said. Even the health insurance companies got a bit scared and for a brief time they started “doing good”. briefly. then they waited. no one else got whacked. so it was back to the “norm”.
You gotta cull a few of them in order for things to change.
But once you pop, you just can’t stop.
I don’t know. I hear they’re pretty rich.
Real shame we couldn’t get everybody to agree that a person is entitled to a bounty. Like take out a Billionaire, and you’re entitled to take like 2 million for every billion they were worth, and the rest is redistributed.
I mean just putting the idea out there, and making them think even their secretary or cook might be thinking that 2m+ is looking pretty tasty. They’d live looking over their shoulders their whole life. Could literally be anybody, at anytime, including one of their guards.
Every year we wicker man the wealthiest person and their wealth gets used for social programs until poverty (i.e. food water shelter medical insecurities) is eliminated.
I like this, but let’s take the top ten and do a roulette type thing.
Or maybe we make them compete. Maybe make it like some kinda whose line is it any improv, but with call-in voting. Or like Wipeout. (But still with the call in voting.)
Not to be disrespectful to Japan, but it’s like the dropping of the atom bombs in WW2: the first one sends the message that we have the power to do it, the second sends the message that we’re not afraid to keep doing it
We eat the top 3 billionaires each year, redistribute their wealth, and watch them all climb over each other for the #4 spot
All they have to do is give away enough to not be billionaires anymore. Seems more than fair.
The modified Athenian model, I support it.
We eat the top 10 at least. Any less and the message won’t be clear.
Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich. Much more entertainment potential, and more hygienic.
And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!
We don’t need to eat them, we need to chop them.
Yeah, I usually chop my food before cooking. Did you think we were gonna just gnaw all the meat off their bones or smth?

Agreed, im a vegetarian but I’ll take a bite of the billionaire just to prove a point.
I’ve long argued that billionaire flesh is vegan because there is a net negative of suffering when they’re consumed.
I want to try some, are we going with a stew, spit-roast, stir-fry, braised, confit, steamed, ceviche, schnitzel, kebab or tandoori?
Nonono.
Don’t eat junk food!
Compost and eat the veggies!
dude i’m returning some billions of dollars worth of bones to the ecosystem. i can eat all the junk food i want.
One every year until they cease to exist as a concept.
I am thinking one per month, on the first Monday of the month.
