Here's the cool thing, I don't give a single fuck why you were communicating with the guy. If you had a relationship with him, you get thrown in the wood chipper. After every single person is thrown in, we can sort through the pile of viscera and determine guilt.

We CANNOT allow these people to remain in the position of power they are in for the duration of the obviously EXTENSIVE investigation that is needed.

Ok, that is exactly what I'm concerned of. I suspect that there are people on the list that had nothing to do with kiddy diddling, and that this might be how he got power over them in the first place.

We might have ended up in a shitty world, solely due to that one fucker.

It makes sense though, that's my attitude to billionaires in general. 3000 people are simply...NOTHING compared to say, a million innocent people killed in Gaza because they exist, so you have a point there.

As much as I hate to create a world where anyone could be sacrificed, things have passed the godzilla threshold.

Ah yes, every time it's billionaires and their people that are facing consequences all of a sudden we worry about the innocent being convicted, even as we know they aren't innocent. They always play us, after conviction they will slip all of this talk about the carceral system not being rehabilitative, long enough to help give the judge they pay off cause to give them a lighter sentence.

Enough. These people were not just abusing girls and everything else, they were doing it to blackmail people to give them license to abuse others, abuses that are ongoing, and worse every day. Not problems confined to gaza and the west bank and iran either, it's coming home.

There is nothing that can stop our trajectory into the abyss, except this scandal. It's they key to laying waste to the corrupt oligarchy leading us to ruin, and on the cusp of killing our republic in all but name and replacing it with an unthinkable kakistocracy.

Yeah, I'm willing to sacrifice some billionaires for the greater good, without hesitation.

Sadly, not in the position to do so effectively.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are no innocent billionaires anyway.

Wait, if I were to become a billionaire, would I get at least 30 days to give up wealth, or would I be considered evil instantly?

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The act making a billion dollars alone requires acts that deserve a guillotine. I’d argue anyone actively trying to become a billionaire should be lined up for the wood chipper.

AFAIK most billionaires become so by birth, even if the most prominent are the ones who made their fortune through their own exploits (though I assume most of those were already wealthy by birth).

Becoming a billionaire by birth isn't evil in itself, it's the act of staying a billionaire. Though rare, there are examples of people born into considerable wealth who give most of it away to charity.

I'll make an exception for regular people who hit the big lotteries. That's probably the only ethical way.

Are we gonna ignore the exploitation it took for you to have 900 million? 800? 500?.. nobody has an exact cutoff, but at some point an individual has effectively won capitalism, and that point is looooong before you reach 1 billion.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

What if I get it by divorcing a billionaire?

Now, I have all this money.

I'm going to be honest, it's power, not wealth at that point.

I would hold onto at least some of it, to try and spread my own ideology.

Which is solar punk.

But I would probably just hand it to some green investment firm, brush aside the ethics of funding such businesses, and focus on R&D on sustainable living, and greenifying neighborhoods. Ironically, my end goal even now, is to undermine my own power.

Humanity goes AWOL and becomes uncontrollable is my endgoal.

we should track down every barista who ever sold him coffee and throw them in the woodchipper too!!!

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We should track down whoever is making our frogs have tits!

Alex Jones dumping penis pills in the local lake is what caused big titted frogs
