    I will get banned for this, perhaps: I seriously think we should be setting their houses on fire. Show them they are not welcome on this planet. Just fucking revolt against them.

    I simply do not see another way. They have all the money in the world to change public opinion and manipulate everything to their gain. We have to not play the game, ignore everything and just get rid of them without going trough the “proper means”. The proper means do not work.

    Alright just do it already you dorks. I’m waiting. It’s not like doxing these people are going to do anything and you are likely to get arrested and beaten up and tortured by police if you dare protest at their houses. Honestly if you do plan on doing something at least burn down these places and do some real damage. Break some windows and put down some tags. Make it unvaluable as possible. It’s probably the only real asset they have that can’t be easily replaced without pulling out a loan out of their insane networth anyway.

    A lot of stuff what billionaires are doing shouldn’t be swept under personal privacy.

    “Don’t bug me, it’s my own business how I spend my money”, some would say. For random people, that’s true. But when you command absurd amounts of wealth, maybe all of that stuff has consequences to the rest of the society.

    We demand transparency from people who have power over our lives, and oligarchs shouldn’t be an exception to that rule.

        Billionaires own the people who control the means of mass destruction: Trump who suffers from dementia and Hegseth who’s an alcoholic and a moron. They both suffer from brain-damaged levels of stupidity and can be easily goaded into a nuclear attack whenever it suits billionaires to have one.

          1. Billionaires and Capitalism.
          2. Abrahamic religions. (no problem with Voodoo or Shinto or Sikhism or Bahai or …) Prosperity gospel is not ok. Saying that hell is mostly filled with women and that women are less capable of civic life than men is not ok.
          3. War.
          4. Boom (for some) and Bust (some never experience the downside, some never experience the upside) cycles and economic fuckery like prices bieng too high or just volitile, many rented instead of owned across the board domisiles, ads, paid subscriptions, spam, scams, gamblified everything, climate and energy mismanagement, science and all other legitimate human needs bow to the “need” for profit and lately the “need” for aristocratic rule (Trump and Musk and Yarvin aren’t the only ones who want to be kings over me), etc.

            Bahá’i is also an Abrahamic religion, by the way. It basically splintered from Shia Islam.

            Prosperity gospel is not an original feature of Christianity nor of Islam. Rich people who’ve been dodging taxes would certainly populate hell as imagined in these traditions.

              Bahai is an eclectic remix, redo, reframe of the old “hits”. I don’t consider it Abrahamic only pecause Bahaullah was inspired by Abrahamic religion. The flavor is completely different, and the behavior too. I don’t see Baha’i as a threat the same way Christianity, Islam, and some conservative strains of Judaism are.

              What matters to me are not words, but function. What do their clerics preach? What do their doctrinal documents say? I judge every religion harshly. Many doctrinal statements do not pass the sniff test.

              That said, the people for whom the religions serve as cultural background, are not simply robots who implement all aspects of relidious doctrine at all times. I judge people on how they live their lives, and on what they want to do in the world as I intimately know and experience it.

              So Zohran is great, but not Islam. Talarico is great, but not Christianity. I may agree with many things Pope Leo says, but my world is better without the Catholicism. Etc.

      Most of them are wealthy because they effectively mass scale doxx everyone to advertisers anyway.

      They hate shit like VPNs and places not using any linked ID info and online handles and shit. Anything providing any later of anonymity.

      Fuck these people.

          Is your point supposed to be a critique of removing billionaire privacy on anti-“an eye for an eye” grounds? It’s not revenge or retaliation. It’s parity. If they can put us in a surveillance state, they should be spied on too. Why would we take the moral high road over the people trying to kill the planet for profit? Fuck 'em.

      At least in this case “doxxing” could restore an asymmetry: Billionaires own the major internet platforms, they already know a good portion about a big number of people. It’s just not called doxxing.

      You also get quietly whisked off to a prison that isn’t a prison where you are charged as a terrorist.

      I would like to see power in the hands of the people, but using technology to do it is really risky. You have to be extremely good at covering your tracks or you’re fucked.
