    Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

        I hear there are ways to track their private jets…

        On a completely unrelated note: Ukraine has been modding off the shelf drones for aerial recon and munitions deployment.

          I bet a couple dead goons would convince the rest to find safer employment. They do that job because they know there’s very little risk protecting some rich asshole

    I don’t think that particular game is hunted on the streets.

    They have meticulously maintained resorts, islands, megayachts, etc for exact purpose.

    It’s no proper sport tho, once the staff stops protecting them, they just stand there sucking their thumbs.

    But it’s still fully worth it, once the kill is done & the empire (for at least a moment) falls, nature can’t believe what just finally happened, etc.

        I mean, historically speaking un-tactical raids (pitchforks & torches) worked, however they did buy up a lot more police/military personnel since then.

          pretty soon they’ll have formidable robots to replace the unloyal labor.

          and so it begins

        Fire and smoke are powerful tools. Can’t stay in a bunker forever if you can’t pull air into it.

    I’m not against but I feel like we have to establish boundaries. Like how rich is rich game? Is a weathy dude huntable? What about people that won the lotery? I Imagine billionaires are the better target right?!

      As with any hunt, the biggest ones are the most impressive. Nobody’s going to commend you for taking down a scrawny one when there are billion point bucks out there.

    You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

    And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

    We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.

    I don’t know. Personally I’m a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).

    Oh, so we let Capitalism destroy the planet and the ability to easily grow crops …and then resort to running around in the heat doing cannibalism?.. do we know they were billionaires at this point, or is there just still enough meat on them to make them worth hunting?

    That’s the problem with post-Capitalist clarity, it leaves you in a really painful situation, and there may be no other destination possible. It nay be the only place Capitalism ends.

    That doesn’t even address whether there’s a market in human meat and wealthy traders… And how Capitalist that market started. Oh Capitalism may not have ended yet in this scenario…
