    Idk how ultra-wealthy people like this shitass don’t understand that being taxed is the best outcome they can hope for. The alternative is people will eventually get desperate enough that they’ll drag the rich cunts out of their houses and beat them to death in the streets.

          It’s a lot rarer than reddit/lemmy pretends it is. Historically it was more common for the rich to pay poor people to kill other poor people when they got uppity. Slave and peasant results fail like 95% of the time.

          Yellow Turbans. Jacquerie. Bastille Day. To name three examples from the top of my head.
