"killing half the billionaires and redistributing their wealth"

Are we on the same planet right now? How are you going to do that? And if you kill them, how are you to ensure their wealth is redistributed properly, not just funneled back into their corporate shell company or their equally immoral families? The measure you're proposing here requires a total overhaul of the system that is more unrealistic than a measured overhaul into more overall socialist systems of general wealth redistribution. I get that billionaires do harm to the planet and I get that that makes you, me, angry. but what you're proposing here is just straight up murder and it's unrealistic; It's even more unrealistic than, say, everybody voting for a socialist and the systems entirely overhauled except you are adding extra steps of just killing all the billionaires on top of it. What I'm ultimately concerned about is the left going online and just saying kill billionaires while sitting in front of their computers doing literally nothing, making all of us look like psychopaths thus hurting our cause due to clear and obvious LARPing.

but it's obvious to me that I'm not going to change your mind. you can sit around and LARP on Lemmy all day, if you want, that's fine. Ultimately, in an hour, I won't care that we even had his conversation. I'm not going to change your mind, so this is going to be my last post regarding this subject, because I'm not going to change anybody's mind on a far left leaning Lemmy community. I'm sorry I even posted my opinion.
