    death to billionaires, their wealth tells what they’ve done, who they fucked over, or killed. Which is countless.

    but im still against the death penalty for the not rich. Death is being released from capitivity, keeping them in prison is better. The death penalty isnt a deterrent.

      Even with billionaires I would rather see them imprisoned where possible. Of course we know from experience that it often isn’t, but still. I certainly wouldn’t shed any tears over losing them, but I don’t support the death penalty under pretty much any circumstances, with only a few exceptions.

      Pu Yi was very successfully rehabilitated by the CPC iirc, and he was literally installed as a puppet ruler by imperial Japan. I think that was a genuine triumph.
