    There are only a couple thousand billionaires. Their locations are listed here. Today is a World holiday. The official end of colonialism. Redistribution day. The purge.

      I don’t want to kill billionaires. I just want them to pay for their fair share based on their exploitation of the broken system we’re forced to live in.

        I’m not inciting any particular outcome. Send them all to be little emperors of Corsica or to a reunion on Reunion. Billionaires are all criminal parasites. That kind of money is not possible when treating people rights and working honestly. Everything that is wrong with the world right now stems from this corruption of a few people that have been left completely unchecked. They bribe and fund more and more corruption in a spiraling feedback loop that will never stop. Their social position must be eliminated. Whatever that means for the human under the surface is what it is. 2k people are irrelevant to the lives of 8 billion humans.

        Their fair share would be everything. All they have.

        Killing them is not out of spite. It’s because we know they will never give up all they stole.

        No, the opposite of that. Blows my mind the effort people put in to help people that dont deserve or dont want to be helped.

        But when it comes to animals that dont apply anymore.

        You can eat good food without hurting anyone.

    Your body is all you have, it is a machine that is capable of turning your pure will into reality, the world is stuck with you as much as youre stuck with it.

        Could be because talking is a symptom of something else. Maybe what you should be doing is care more.

          one of the most caring people i know is also the chattiest. chattiness and caring about others need not be inversely proportional.

            Same, and it is a complex subject, but the most caring, chattiest person I know will absolutely recognize when someone need to talk and turn into the best listener I have ever met. In that sense, chatinness is not an issue, and neither is a lack of listening to people. OP mentioned trouble listening.

              i see. your initial response seemed to emphasize the negativity of being talkative. now i understand you meant the listening part.

    Maybe I’m not an amazing perfect person. Maybe I should try some introspection and look critically at my own thoughts and actions.

    If it is that I’m planting an idea in people’s heads, then it’s that I’m their king. World peace is only minutes away! Climate change addressed immediately! Corporations stripped of their power in the face of new labor laws!

    If I’m just communicating, then it would have to be something absurd, like “bite my shiny, metal ass.”

      Just because you’re their king now doesn’t mean there wouldn’t almost certainly be a revolution. And even if their wasn’t, you would most likely find managing 8 billion people quite stressful, and you might become consumed by power.

    Everything is connected with everything and therefore reacts to everything, so treat you and your surrounding with kindness and empathy.
