like and share if u would beat a billionare with a metal pole
Nature is wise
If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
In a hypothetical world where billionaires cannot go outside a security perimeter for fear of their lives, how soon would we see people refusing the inheritance or donating massive portions?
It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they'd be less likely to want to become one.
I think they'd just hire more security. They have the money for it.
Edit: I agree with your sentiment though
It is enough to have one person doing the inside job, but this will escalate too and... welcome to modern Russia
You and me baby aint nothing but mamals, so lets lead a revolution like on discovery channel
Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.

Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.
Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.
Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.
Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)
That doesn't always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.
The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed until the 90s. For example the official number for the Gwangju uprising is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn't include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.
The government ordered the soldiers to shoot the protesters, and they did, and hardly anyone knows about it today.
Indonesia is also worth looking at.
In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.
Don't have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side
How many wars the US has won since WWII?
You should watch the movie Ants, it's an amazing example of why this line of reasoning doesn't hold water.

Eat the rich? They sure are making everything else too expensive.
Beat inflation at the grocery store (and everywhere else) with this one simple trick. Capitalists hate it!
What am I missing? Counterfeit bills?
You're not missing anything. I shouldn't have included the pic but I had just seen it minutes before reading the post and it felt like it fit. The one simple trick is what you said: eating the rich.
Just FYI, BTW
They have a far more functional society than we do
