    I mean… Look around? Maybe billionaire is a new thing, but it is just modern royalty. We still have kings, they just got better PR.

    The billionaires, by convincing people the rich have a monopoly on violence.

    But if anything sparks collective violence, the rich are overthrown within a month.

    Unfortunately that is not how the figures really are. Way too many of those 8 billions will willingly simp and fight the rest of us in the name of those billionaires.

    Assuming the 8b were all of the same mind, they would win. But we all know there are quite a few that the billionaires could buy to fight for them

    Tje billionaires are winning now and the reasons are obvious.

    The 8 billion are unable to think clearly, identify problems and organize. The billionaires are focused on their goals and super influential. They’re able to buy loyality of the key less fortunate people and enforce loyality of others. They can also buy media to influence thinking of the masses.

    If it was just about numbers, the billionaires would lose. But it’s not.

    3000 billionaires because you can’t convince everybody to ditch school. You can’t change people. Pharaoh, Hammurabi. Those are thousands of years of genetic obedience.

    Just stop believing that those 3000 are billionaires. If 8 billion people say “No, you are not rich” those fuckers become poor. Money is a religion.

    Over 1 million Russians killed and how many tens of thousands in Gaza. 3000 would be quite easy compared to the innocent.

    Yes markets would be in shit but so what, take their wealth and distribute it. The entire financial system is made out of thin air now, everyone will be all worried to justify why not to do it but we need to do it for our civilization to grow beyond having the Poor’s do all the work for the greedy pigs.

    The entire system needs to change and they won’t go easy, it will be tough and bloody.

      The hard part isnt the toppeling of the system, it is creating a stable new one, economicly and politicly. Think about the millions of indoctrinated people in all corners of the world that are fuled by hate towards a none existing enemy. Getting those in, will be hard. Especially if they are deep into conspiricy
