You realize that's entirely cope right.

Some dead rich people just means their money will go to their kids/family, it's not going to you in any way ever other than through changes in tax law and enforcement. And well, if you're already middle class, you won't really see any benefit because you already generate more taxes than you consume.

Further dead rich people and more tax money won't fix the massive inequalities and inefficiencies and corruption that makes government and social policy so limited and ineffective in many places.

    The idea is that watching what happens to those 10,000 discourages replacements. But of course it’s cope. Fortunately, I don’t live in the US so am at least insulated somewhat. I’ll be dead before things get too gnarly. And no kids. Good Lord, no kids.

    The rise in authoritarianism and surveillance is worldwide, the US is just where the people funding it live. You're barely insulated now, and will be much less so if they succeed.
