    The underlying sentiment is right. Income inequality is higher than ever. Saying that we need to bring back guillotines is a simplified way of saying we need to solve the problem of concentration of wealth by plutocrats.

        There is currently widespread violence. It is the structural violence of poverty. Hundreds are being socially murdered everyday.

        Killing an oligarch is a certainly a violent act, but it reduces the overall violence in the system.

          Yeah, that’s totally the same as actual widespread violence. Pampered idiots have no idea what it’d be like to have to live somewhere like the way Ukraine has been.

          Killing an oligarch does absolutely nothing. Sure, that’ll “reduce poverty”. Of course it’s that simple in your lazy, immature worldview.

          Spare me your “I’m 14 and this is deep” bullshit.

            Your daily reminder that shitlibs don’t consider the killing of poors to be “actual” violence

            When Luigi killed that UHC oligarch, the company responded by lowering their claims denial rate by 1-2%. UHC processes hundreds of millions of claims every year.

            Do the math- the slaying of Brian Thompson meant that millions of claims that would have otherwise been denied were approved.

            By killing one oligarch, hundreds of lives were saved. Perhaps even thousands.
