Billionaires deserve to be abolished. If they won't give up control of the world's resources by choice, then yes they deserve to be killed, as an act of collective self-defense by the ecology against them. And so far, they have never voluntarily given up control.
How would you feel if someone on here or somewhere else think you deserve cancer?
How would you feel if a giant straw man kicked you in the dick?
It's not a straw man. How does my argument connect to my post? I didn't say if I agreed with you or not. If you think billionaires deserve to die then thats your right to think that way, you are entitled to how you feel and it's your first amendment right to say that.
Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah are billionaires. One could argue, "You shouldn't say they deserve to die." However, you do have the right to say that; it's the First Amendment. So yes, if you feel that Selena Gomez or Tyler Perry deserves to die because they are billionaires, then you can say itβyou have that right. At the exact same time, I have the right to say that your two young nephews deserve painful cancer, or that they deserve to die in a school shooting.
