Ok maybe we just ask them kindly

Not what I meant. If they break the law, they should be put through the legal system and actually be treated like any criminal instead of getting special privileges. What I meant is that I am against executions in general; even mass murderers shouldn't be executed once they are in custody of the state, they should be in prison for as long as needed to keep them away from society.

You don't need to kill them, you just need to remove the money and BAM, no more billionaires, slayed the dragon.

Perfect; I am 100% with you on this one.

So the existence of billionaires is not a problem as long as they aren't criminals?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is a problem, and their wealth needs to be redistributed regardless, but the rule of law is important. If a billionaire has done zero crimes, they should still not be allowed to keep the majority of their wealth, but they shouldn't be imprisoned if they hadn't broken the law.

It's pretty cool that the law is definitely not rigged in favor of the rich
