I mean, if my kid was a wealth hoarding, kid diddling, entitled, exploitative little shit, I’d wish some cancer on them.

Your error is that you’re punching down. If you can find a 12yo billionaire with a rap sheet like Donald Trump, fuck it, that’s a pretty terrible human being and it’s got a lot of years ahead of it. But most kids aren’t that vile. They’re not even in control of their own day to day lives, much less running governments and industry. Killing them solves nothing. Besides, they’re already getting cancer from the waste of the capitalist system, so you don’t even have to wish it; they’ve got it.
