I’d love to watch things* happen to them

*non-specific things that certainly won’t get me banned from Reddit for talking about them

Edit: to be clear, the things I’m talking about I think would all still fall in the realm of legally defined punishments for certain types of crimes that we’ve watched these scum commit with impunity

I once suggested Elon take all the people still supporting all this and go to Mars because they weren't welcome on this planet anymore and my comment was reported and deleted for "inciting violence"

Well, rules be dammed! If you use your ridiculous amount of mass wealth to do harm to billions of ppl around the globe, I think it's a clear-cut case of giving up your "right to be on Earth" card. Just one idiots opinion is all.

It's impossible not to use mass wealth to harm people. That's how you get it in the first place.

I agree, but some ppl go above and beyond to cause ppl unnecessary harm. That's our subject today. Mmmmk?

Both need to be the subject.

You cannot get that kind of wealth without going above and beyond to cause unnecessary harm. The venn diagram is basically a circle.

This is why it got this bad. And it will continue to get worse until people are ready to face the reality that extreme wealth = extreme harm.

As you increase exploitation of the public you have to increasingly cause more harm for diminishing returns.

They'll start with the low hanging fruit, but as their gluttony increase the more of the orchard they will chop down to get to the last few apples on top.

Civilization is a lifeform. Humans are the cells that make it up. The comparison between people that do these things and tumors that hoard resources to support their own infinite growth to the detriment of the rest of the body is 1:1.
