At this point, I'm down for the execution of selfish billionaires who actively push for coal and other harmful climate policies. They not only don't care about the world, they are actively harming it to make their short time left feel better from seeing a number go up in their bank.
If you were on reddit: "You have been permanently suspended for threatening to use violence."
I'd always just drop a link. Got the message across, but never got me banned:
I always thought Lemmy (at least this instance) had stricter rules than Reddit. Seeing a comment here that outright wishes for billionaires to be culled is a huge culture shock.
Because we aren't worried about offending advertisers. This is what real people think without being forced to be advertiser friendly.
Unfortunately, now the comment just says Removed
The comment itself is still there, just hidden. You can see it in the modlog, page source, or some apps.
It’s also a VERY popular sentiment the world over
But also Reddit admins are total deadshits, I was permanently banned and then harassed on other platforms for pointing out that Pitbulls are banned in Australia and that we euthanise them, and any other violent animals(just said that was a law here, nothing else). Crazy dog fuckers wouldn’t leave me alone.
I got banned from Reddit, then when I sent an appeal, got permabanned on the alt account too for "repeated violations".
Damned if they say you did, damned-er if you say you did not.
At least Lemmy has a modlog for everyone to see (until some instance decides to scrub that... but I wouldn't like to stay on one of those).
It would do absolutely nothing at all. For every billionaire that is running some seedy enterprise that you don't like, there are dozens if not hundreds of well paid people that are supporting that enterprise and would keep it going going forever.
Send them all to a for-profit prison I say!
You know what the French nobility did when the people started to, quite rightfully, remove their heads? It sure wasn’t move in to the newly vacant palace…
Yeah, the vast majority of human kind would gladly own a multi billion dollar company even if that company were causing climate change.
I would gladly own one, I would also gladly pivot it towards not causing climate change.
Only problem is owning one in the first place; most are "publicly owned" by a bunch of investors who themselves are investment funds owned by some other bunch of investors like those putting their money in 401k plans.
It's a nice tangle of cross-ownerships that ends up hurting the actual owners without them having any power to change anything.
Start at the top and keep going down the list until emissions fall far enough.
It's not just the billionaires.
It's the entire first-world culture of consumerism.
