Agree with OP... societal/systemic changes would be great, but I'd never wish death on anyone.

I know it's pretty common on here, but rhetoric about killing people, guillotine memes, etc skeeve me out

Let the free market decide.

But the free market is rigged by the billionaires

Idk, its clear billionaire cage fights is not a niche market after recent internet antics.

I want to eat them. Murder is merely a stepping stone

I’m sorry, but this point of view is so brain-dead to me. What do you think happens when a billionaire dies? The money magically disappears? It’s redistributed to the masses? No, it’s inherited by relatives. Killing billionaires only creates different billionaires. How about we use our brains and come up with actual solutions rather than parroting brain-dead bullshit?

No. I want to murder big-business, but I fear it's already too late.

Comments section is equally concerning as the whole "kill all billionaires" movement

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The prevelance of the "murder billionaires" mindset and other generally negative attitudes and suggested violent solutions to everything - even more often and more exaggerated than reddit - is probably gonna chase me off lemmy. It's everywhere here. Even blocking all the explicitly political communities isn't enough to keep it away. This platform has a lot of growing up to do, and I'm not sure if it's gonna do it.

You wouldn’t last a day around gen Zers with that attitude bud.

Glass half full, there's very little talk of murdering millionaires, so hypothetically things are looking up!
