At least one society is decent enough to take out their antisocial billionaire parasite trash... - eviltoast

Good thing we (the US) lost the war, or this lady would probably have her own team of lobbyists running their country.

    People are extremely bitter that rich people exist, and openly would call for their deaths, regardless of however much their lives would actually improve, were they to die, or however much their oppression might continue under a more conventional arrangement, or a less, sort of, offensive level of wealth inequality. People do find it offensive, basically, they find it ostentatious, and what’s more commonly called for, to be put to death, than ostentatiousness? Than the offense of sensibilities?

    I dunno. You get a lot of hard talk from supposed leftists who understand nothing of the kind of core principles at play, but none of them will realistically do anything, they’re just floating by and passively regurgitating whatever they consume in the spectacle. They lack the empathy to commit real violence or change, I think.

      The poor aren’t strong enough to kill. That’s why I have to. New Batman villain was just created.

          bane and league of shadows in the movie are more return to monkey than this new villain.

          This new villain just wants to kill rich people, and Bruce happens to fall into the crossfire.

          I assume comic book bane just loves green steroids or something.

      It always stops at the death of the rich. The money they have doesn’t magically go into the public coffers to be distributed for the benefit of those who need it. It’s all just grievance and schadenfreude rather than a way to change up the structure of power.
