"Abolish billionaires" doesn't mean "kill anyone you want as long as you catch a couple of billionaires in the explosion." In fact, it doesn't mean "kill billionaires". It means tax them until they're not billionaires.
This is gross.
Torres is a Zionist, he doesn't actually believe what he's saying here, he's trying to use a smug "gotcha" against the left.
Even “eat the rich” simply means “tax them until they pay their fair share” instead of cannibalism.
For real? I always took it more literally?
Ew, no. Billionaires are obviously the least tasty of humans.
They have plenty of time and money, so they can afford to work out. They'll be super tough.
The worst part is that their assets are going to simply be bestowed on whoever whatever entity it was willed, and the accumulation itself is the problem, so even the actual supposed benefit is zero. Killing billionaires only makes the actual disparity more inefficient, you have to break up that wealth in a real way for it to be good at all.
Shhhhhhhh
Speak for yourself, I got my (pitch)fork ready.
Imagine eating Musk or Gates 🤢
Depends on who is saying it, a Liberal or a Socialist.
It's always projection.
