Is it a conspiracy to make us think violence isn’t a way to change things? It keeps getting worse, and when I think about the French revolution - it was pretty ugly, but hey, also pretty effective.
There is an equitable solution to this problem.
If your last name starts with A to D, forward all your outstanding and future medical bills to Elon Musk.
E to J, forward to Bernard Arnault
K to M, to Jeff Bezos,
N to Q, to Larry Ellison
And R to Z, to Mark Zuckerberg
We’ll just privatize universal healthcare by having the richest 5 people in the country pay for everyone. If they don’t want to do it, they can spend themselves into 6th place or lower, enact a national universal healthcare system, or face the guillotine.
The French Revolution took about a century to fully play out, including a period when Napoleon made the rest of Europe his personal bitch.
After The Terror France had to go though a bunch of try outs while various regimes and political powers got hubris fever and started rolling back rights again, resulting in more guillotines and piles of heads. In the late 1800s, the French Republic was fully established, and the people were damn tired of aristocrats trying to push their authority.
I anticipate it’s going to go down like that here in the states, only with the chaos of fifty states with their individual interests using chaos to sabotage the opposition. Our grandkids’ grandkids will see a lasting peace, maybe, assuming pollution doesn’t destroy global agriculture and creat a mass famine…ir a new supergerm… or Project 2025 succeeds in removing all the pacifists and peaceniks from the STRATCOM chain of command, allowing for global nuclear exchange.
All this is to say, short of a string of Dickensian Christmas miracles to get plutocrats to let their political puppets implement some social safety nets, the US and possibly the world is in for a centuries-long rough ride.
Ok, it seems I’m an uneducated dumbass with very shallow knowledge of big events in history. Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. EDIT: although, I don’t suggest destroying democracy. I was talking about violence against bilionares. As in - you see a bilionare having dinner at a fancy restaurant…
Oh I’m not saying we shouldn’t eat the rich. I’m saying the climb out of monarchist / plutocratic hellholes is a long and arduous one. When we eat the first guy we should make sure the others know they’re up next unless they get really really nice (and generous), and they’re on the menu the moment they try to flee.
Also we should take notes from all the election-reform experts regarding what we want the new system to look like. They’ve been actually thinking about this for decades now.
I mean, if you can call a key feature of the system a conspiracy, then yeah…
On a more serious note:

Their meat is lean and tender because they never worked a day in their life
Like veal, the rich are a tasty form of meat, unsullied by the sinful and ungodly conditions of industrial meat production. Therefore it might be prudent to eat the rich, literally.
Reject meat pumped full of antibiotics and chemicals, embrace actual cannibalism.
Money is kind of finite…
If a few people hoard it all, there isn’t enough for everyone else.
The only way around it is to “print more” which lowers it’s value. It doesn’t effect the few hoarding it because they already have more than they can spend, but it hurts everyone else who’s trying to save.
