i mean of course people will eventually get so mad at ceo types to do things like this.

killing them individually like this won't fundamentally change things though, even if we get a little schadenfraude.

in addition to this, organize and collectivize that anger and we got ourselves real change.

If 1000 people up and decided to do this, I think the world would be a much brighter place.

oh probably, yes. but their heirs and the next 1000 rich assholes would just take their place eventually.

if a few million people in say, the us, decided to try and stop the flow of money upwards... it would essentialy implode the greedy capitalist system that produces these people in the first place.

a few million represents one digit percentage of the population and theres probably more than that willing to act on it. just pick your favorite kind of anarchist or socialist methodology.

Eventually things would be as bad as they are now.. so not worse? Doesn't sound so bad.
