These few people / companies destroying the planet: BLAME THE CONSUMER!

The amount of fucking everything up they do in a day is more than I do in a lifetime.

These people have physical bodies

Fewer than a single box of ammo.

Valid. We could be efficient, and use one bullet each, or we could go for mayhem. Mayhem creates better historical photos that are more effective in warning future dipshits. That does require lots of ammo.

If only there was like a deck of cards with their faces on it.

Sometimes I like to gaze lovingly into their faces while writing their names in my diary.

Something to remember about the Forbes List: the most terrible people of all, aren't even on it. There is a level of wealth that floats above mere billionaires, for which there almost isn't even a category. Forbes knows not to mention these families in the context of some tawdry popularity contest among nouveau riche Techno Trash. They are mostly centuries old multi-generational wealth like monarchies, the Rothschilds, sheikhs, organized crime families, dictators, etc.

They aren't on the list, but they hold the real wealth, and more importantly, the real power. Everything else is an illusion of their making.

My understanding of it is that its not really some conspiracy to hide the top wealth; the forbes lists are all opt- in. They reach out to a bunch of Uber wealthy, people, and those who want in send back bios and stats for them to rank and publish.

At least that's the way it was explained to me. I dated an heiress for a while, and at one point her dad told me hed only ever had his name on the list for one year, and that was as part of the 'debut campaign' for his second wife.

Of you look ar the list it makes sense. It's mostly the new rich, people still seaking validation and status from their wealth, the sociopaths and a lot of the tech bilionaires like elon and zuckerberg who treat it like a competition, and people who benefit from the name recognition and status perception for their company, like all the fashion and design company owners using it to help associate their brands with luxury, and the investment banker types like Bloomberg, ken griffin, etc, who use it to show success of their companies and get other rich people to invest with them.

I said nothing of the sort. But I ask once again: If we execute these 90 people, will that make us stop burning oil? Is it at least a helpful step down the path of stopping to burn oil?

If not, then please just don't act as though these 90 people are all we have to overcome to save the planet.

[–] DirtSona@feddit.org 14 points 6 hours ago

Of course something will happen. If the bosses or big corporations would be killed constantly, the next in line would be thinking about changing things. Just remember Luigi.

It costs 7.5% of GDP to halt climate change.

But each 12.5% of GDP is lost per +1°C

The problem is that the people who need to pay are not the people who will be most affected.

Soon you are ready to realise that no, they are sock puppets of what is essentially a giant demonic entity that is Immortal and Controls human and replaces these humans when they misbehave or malfunction

Imagine if we just locked all the doors and firebombed Davos. Could save humanity in one day of work.

edit: for legal reasons I wish to clarify this is a joke

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

This is good joke! Very funny that nobody has killed these people! L O L

Had a few seconds where I thought "Wired" was referring to the tech magazine and wondered what "Tired" is, who would choose name for their magazine or whatever?

TIRED: A magazine for millenials and Gen X
