Had this argument a few days ago. Someone said ‘kill all billionaires’ as a low-effort comment, and I noted that whilst that makes a good protest sign slogan, I wouldn’t want to whip up a mob trained solely on that heuristic - I asked them to get specific in what they want to lynch this billionaire for. Not because I want to defend billionaires, but Lemmy is a discussion platform, and “kill all billionaires” is a thought stopper.

Idk what’s with all the billionaire hate. Killing individuals doesn’t change systems.
