Is a specific billionaire actively threatening your life with physical violence? I don't think you understand how self defense works.
So, you want to kill specific people because there is not a law against what they do?
I'm trying to get you to understand how extreme and also illogical this is. I know a lot of ethical left leaning people. You are not one of them.
I agree which is why I consider myself a liberal.
If you actively seek to murder people, I will actively ensure you are put in jail. I apply the same logic to fascists. Fascists only gain power throughout history when the left starts to actively degrade people's lives. This is why the left historically has shifted to reform as the ethical approach and have gradually shifted more liberal.
If you cannot convince anyone with your words, you certainly won't with your violence.
If you use violence to bring about your preferred society, you enable violence as a tool of oppression by that society.
