Agree with OP... societal/systemic changes would be great, but I'd never wish death on anyone.
I know it's pretty common on here, but rhetoric about killing people, guillotine memes, etc skeeve me out

Agreed. Personally, all I wanna do is take the vast majority of their money and redistribute it to society. They can keep a few million to fuck off with. I don't really care about them beyond that. They largely only have power imbalance because of their money. I don't think anyone should be a billionaire (or frankly more than about $10M USD or so -- which is currently enough to comfortably live your life without having to work, yet isn't utterly crazy).
Once they no longer are so rich, why would I care about them anymore? I'm not one to try and get revenge or anything, and I think that's a harmful way of thinking. I just want society to suck less and fixing the massive wealth imbalance is a big part of that.
If we were in a position where "eat the rich" could be taken literally, then "seize their current and future wealth" is just as achievable.

No. I want to murder big-business, but I fear it's already too late.
Haha jk.... unless
Well, OP, maybe you ought to look into the life and times of Pu Yi, an imperial ruler who was allowed to live out his natural life after his oppressive dynasty was overthrown.

The prevelance of the "murder billionaires" mindset and other generally negative attitudes and suggested violent solutions to everything - even more often and more exaggerated than reddit - is probably gonna chase me off lemmy. It's everywhere here. Even blocking all the explicitly political communities isn't enough to keep it away. This platform has a lot of growing up to do, and I'm not sure if it's gonna do it.
You wouldn’t last a day around gen Zers with that attitude bud.
Glass half full, there's very little talk of murdering millionaires, so hypothetically things are looking up!
i suppose a millionaire would basically taste as good as a billionaire.. you'd probably have to eat a lot of both to be able to tell the difference..

Not necessarily, as you said, murder is murder.
I will cheer for their deaths, tho.
Comments section is equally concerning as the whole "kill all billionaires" movement
