It’s easier to put bullets in things than to do alot of things, what’s your point?

It’s easier to shoot someone than to change your sheets but it doesn’t make your bed smell less of piss.

it takes seconds, other way takes years, and its not worth risking it getting away. it’s not human anymore, and its a danger to humans, so if its not down for trying to be human again; kill it. don’t waste the effort when there are living people who need help.

And you end up with dirty sheets. No matter how fast it is it doesn’t address your problem.

Don’t call people “it” my dude.
Irrespective how monstrous a person acts they’re still a human and you can’t distance yourself and your capacity to engage in the same monsterousness they did by dehumanizing them.

so I dont care about biology-on a moral level; obviously its cool and I need to think about it at lunch- a life is precious for actual reasons

and being wealthy diminishes just about all of those reasons.scientifically, there are studies that prove it. the wealthy are less intelligent less logic less compassionate less connected to the world. they dehumanize, in the terms that matter to me, themselves.

I’m not suggesting you should get the wall the moment your income slips into six figures, but in extreme cases, where all humanity has fled, theres nothing worth keeping there. its an it. no moral wrong in killing it, at least no more than a rat.

now, I’m not going to go around smashing rats in a hydraulic press for fun. that’s sick. but I’m only going to spend so much time doing catch and release in my pantry before I try poison or snapping their necks, because I have other fucking shit to do with my life, and I dont consider the rat worth that much fucking time.

biionaires get coddled from every direction. if nurturing warm fuzzy feelings were going to work, they would have by now, so I’m in favor of actually fixing the problem. that means a guillotine.

So take their money.

You dehumanize yourself when you dehumanize others.

How did that work out for Robespierre?

take their money

money isn’t money though.

money us the concept of deserving and promise of agency, which has been pressed so deep into them that they are stained with it, to any remaining capitalist loyalists or other idiots.

you can take their money, but that isn’t really taking their money. youd need to take their faces, their names, their fingerprints, And the memories of all their secret stashes or things they could use to authenticate to associates. which seems way more fucked than just killing them.

dehumanize yourself

in what ways? ive been through an amount of shit, already skewed pretty far from default. might not be in a way that matters to me. hell, if you could lower my very human chance of breast cancer, I might even be willing to do something I find unpleasant.

generally I agree, but you need to be more specific here. maybe if I salt half as many people arguing half as much for the dignity and humanity of the unhoused and laboring classes, it would be easier to rake this shit seriously, but I’m not going to devote a second more than necessary to dealing with billionaires, and in a revolution, that means a bullet.

Robespierre

that fucker’s problem was trying to autocratically lead a movement of popular power while keeping the people infantilized. nothing wrong with killing the aristocracy.

Pretty sure money is money, and you can take it.

in what ways?

It makes you the type of person who can dismiss the humanity of other humans as “other” and we know what kind of atrocities that leads to.

half as many people arguing half as much for the dignity and humanity of the unhoused and laboring classes

What about universal human dignity applying universally takes away the right of dignity from the unhoused?

Human dignity isn’t a zero-sum game. That’s billionaire thinking.

Take billionaires’ assets, not their lives (post-fact).
