Not to be disrespectful to Japan, but it's like the dropping of the atom bombs in WW2: the first one sends the message that we have the power to do it, the second sends the message that we're not afraid to keep doing it
Brian Thompson only had a net worth of $43m when he died.
That is mere pocket change to the actual Billionaire class, where the three most wealthy individuals on this planet each extract $40m+ of interest on their net worth PER DAY.
that's the point, it can't be just one. has to be at least two or three.
After the first one they did get scared like you said. Even the health insurance companies got a bit scared and for a brief time they started "doing good". briefly. then they waited. no one else got whacked. so it was back to the "norm".
You gotta cull a few of them in order for things to change.
Every year we wicker man the wealthiest person and their wealth gets used for social programs until poverty (i.e. food water shelter medical insecurities) is eliminated.
One enters the danger zone at X dollar. They make money with speculation and interest, so they have to donate / get rid of it before the countdown stops.
Floating wealth cap. The richest person in the country is responsible for everyone's health care. When their wealth is depleted to #2's level, #2 starts sharing the load.
Keep adding social programs until everyone is down to #1000's level.
I like this, but let’s take the top ten and do a roulette type thing.
Or maybe we make them compete. Maybe make it like some kinda whose line is it any improv, but with call-in voting. Or like Wipeout. (But still with the call in voting.)
Real shame we couldn't get everybody to agree that a person is entitled to a bounty. Like take out a Billionaire, and you're entitled to take like 2 million for every billion they were worth, and the rest is redistributed.
I mean just putting the idea out there, and making them think even their secretary or cook might be thinking that 2m+ is looking pretty tasty. They'd live looking over their shoulders their whole life. Could literally be anybody, at anytime, including one of their guards.
it means avoiding being eaten. The People are easily placated. That's how they become billionaires to begin with, no one stops them because shiny thing! The other billionaires would each donate like 10% of their wealth to foundations they already control and people will think that's so fucking awesome of them.
Jest aside i have often considered a concept where the richest person in the world has half their wealth liquidated and distributed in equal share among the 25% poorest.
We then repeat this process again and again as needed.
Nah, need a succession of them. Look at that uhc asshole. If more keep getting popped, maybe. Luigi is being framed so hopefully the real shooter gets another.
Sure but... which one can we eat without getting food poisoning, if we roasted them and left them outside not even animals would eat that, maybe a bear if it was REALLY hungry, their very existence is poisonous.
Luigi has been falsely accused of whacking some goofy millionaire, a mere servant of billionaires. And no eating involved, even in the false accusation!
But more importantly he couldn't have touched that millionaire, because that day me and my boy Luigi Nicholas Mangione were playing Contra and he carried hard. That guy from the insurance company probably just got into some sort of accident.
But once you pop, you just can't stop.
I don't know. I hear they're pretty rich.
I keep telling yas, them damn oligarchs have way too much gristle!
Gotta trim the fat you know

We eat the top 3 billionaires each year, redistribute their wealth, and watch them all climb over each other for the #4 spot
All they have to do is give away enough to not be billionaires anymore. Seems more than fair.
I like this. The Hungry Games.
Awesome 👍🏼 🤣🤣🤣
The modified Athenian model, I support it.
We eat the top 10 at least. Any less and the message won't be clear.
Luigi shot one, they only upped their security. We must not stop at one.

Damn, imagine if people actually kidnapped Elon Musk and ate it live
They'd get sick from food poisoning and ketamine overdose.
Also, is erectile disfunction contagious?
Well first of all he's entirely innocent. So jot that down.
But if someone like Luigi had killed that CEO, that still wouldn't be the same as a billionaire.
We didn't eat him. I really think it's the cannibalism that sends the message.
Holy cow and sacred broccoli.
Kuru is a thing.
Let's not do that. Let's put them to work. Proper work. Like plowing fields. By hand. Under the sun. From sun up to sun down.
I know many hungry dogs that would be fine with it
In fact, billionaire dog chow sounds like a great treat.
I wouldn't give to mine. Too high of a risk of them getting sick.
Kuru happens when you eat brains, just don't eat brains and you'll be ok.
I wouldn't expect more value from their physical labor.
This is about value. It's about pure, unadultered, punishment.
that's the point, it can't be just one. has to be at least two or three.

That one wasn't eaten.
CEOs aren't often billionaires, they 100% do the whipping for them though
Once is an outlier. Twice is a coincidence. Three or more is a threat.

Which one? WHICH ONE?
Definitely Musk being a top contender for billionaire stew.
Can't we eat one that actually looks like they might taste good, tho? 😩
Hunger is the best spice and the people are very hungry.
None of them do though.
Our other top contenders are Bezos and Gates. For a proper stew, you want the fat to render into the sauce, so that disqualifies them both.
That piece of chemical waste? God knows how much drugs these degenerates have in their system.
Going to be difficult finding a billionaire that doesn't fall into this category.
I'm good with getting a little high off ketamine if it means Musk gets turned into a hobbit stew.
What about Ellison?
Not eating anything with the name musk especially preceded by Elon. Elongated musk stew sounds gross AF
The top one, Elon.
I want to try some, are we going with a stew, spit-roast, stir-fry, braised, confit, steamed, ceviche, schnitzel, kebab or tandoori?
I'd make a joke about spit-roasting Peter Theil but I don't want him to sic Hulk Hogan on me.
Fortunately, Hulk is dead. But now I forgot the joke.
Feel free to add or edit it if you come up with it.

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich. Much more entertainment potential, and more hygienic.
And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!
Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?
"fall in line" here means redistribute their unearned wealth
it means avoiding being eaten. The People are easily placated. That's how they become billionaires to begin with, no one stops them because shiny thing! The other billionaires would each donate like 10% of their wealth to foundations they already control and people will think that's so fucking awesome of them.
then we'll eat a second
Because billionaires are inevitable thanks to our economic system and the indomitable human spirit.
If we eat them all, they will just keep spawning
I think "eat the rich" implies also a significant change in the economic system towards something actually democratic and scientific.
Democracy was a mistake. It allows any idiot to rule as long as the people choOse them.
We need something like a god emperor ruling upon us or something.
Neoliberal western democracy is not the only style of democracy possible
Only way to do that is through taxes and a world wide wealth cap.
Anyone worth a million dollars has all their next income 100% go to taxes until their worth goes below
Nobody should be able to just gather unlimited resources
One every year until they cease to exist as a concept.
Jest aside i have often considered a concept where the richest person in the world has half their wealth liquidated and distributed in equal share among the 25% poorest.
We then repeat this process again and again as needed.
I am thinking one per month, on the first Monday of the month.
We don’t need to eat them, we need to chop them.
Yeah, I usually chop my food before cooking. Did you think we were gonna just gnaw all the meat off their bones or smth?
We need to set an example that will resonate throughout history. So, we eat them all.
Once you pop, you can't stop.
Agreed, im a vegetarian but I’ll take a bite of the billionaire just to prove a point.
I've long argued that billionaire flesh is vegan because there is a net negative of suffering when they're consumed.
Ew. Prions. Just drown them.
Sorry but nah, it'll take way more than one.
Nonono.
Don’t eat junk food!
Compost and eat the veggies!
Let them sleep with a fishes.
dude i'm returning some billions of dollars worth of bones to the ecosystem. i can eat all the junk food i want.
lots of people serve them.
but someone needs to serve them.
I hear polar bears are having a food shortage lately…
The danes ate a politician once, iirc, not sure its kept them in line...
we might need to eat a few
Netherlands, ie the Dutch, in 1672.
::: spoiler Artistic representation :::
so I did not remember correctly
Gross have you seen them? Imagin eating a musk burger..vomit. I'd rather the rat burger from Demolition man.
Sacrifices have to be made for a better world
If i had one wish to fix the world it would be this:
Every day, the wealthiest person on the planet (no legal trickery allowed) dies a brutal and very public death.
Just keep it going forever. I give it 2 months until we are golden
Oligarchs passing a 10 quadrillion coin to one another like a hot potato.
Quick glance at the sidebar:
Baker's dozen just to be safe
*dozen✅As in literally eat one? Ew, I don't want to get billionaire cooties
Can we do something else instead?
Fish food
How about billionaire hunger games?
Far to nice.
One for every person ICE killed this year.
Nah, need a succession of them. Look at that uhc asshole. If more keep getting popped, maybe. Luigi is being framed so hopefully the real shooter gets another.
No need to eat them. Just tax them and thier companies into oblivion.
Sure but... which one can we eat without getting food poisoning, if we roasted them and left them outside not even animals would eat that, maybe a bear if it was REALLY hungry, their very existence is poisonous.
Luigi didn't eat no billionaire.
Luigi has been falsely accused of whacking some goofy millionaire, a mere servant of billionaires. And no eating involved, even in the false accusation!
But more importantly he couldn't have touched that millionaire, because that day me and my boy Luigi Nicholas Mangione were playing Contra and he carried hard. That guy from the insurance company probably just got into some sort of accident.
