      Yep. They are a glitch in the system. An exploitation. There’s no way that any person should deserve a hundred thousand times more money than the average full time worker.

        They’re not a glitch, they’re the natural end result. When you have an economic system that rewards those with the most money, those with the money with have the most advantages and be the most successful. Naturally, over time, money will consolidate at the top.

        Of course you can impose things like regulations or taxes, but that’s subverting the natural course of capitalism. You’re literally doing things to prevent the system from working as designed.

        Billionaires aren’t a glitch of capitalism, they’re a feature.

          Fair point. Though I believe we can still have capitalism without such extreme wealth distribution. Tax 99% of every dollar earned above 10 mil. Make it extremely hard to reach 100 mil. Think of how much good that tax money will do for society as a whole, assuming it’s used properly.

    I’d personally prefer the use of manure or animal dung instead of spray paint as the former is a bit more natural and should not create any issue to the environment.

    Furthermore, if used in the right quantity and of the right quality manure can permanently stick to a porous surface thus rendering the entire yatch, car, jet, helicopter or transport mean completely unusable for a very long time. For this application I’d suggest the use of carnivore ejections as these are usually far more unbearable than those coming from herbivores.

    Anyway, keep up the good fight!!

      Thank you, FabioTNO, for providing much-needed insight on the topic of fecal adhesion and permanence.

      You seem to know your shit.

    Superyachts are an insult.

    Even more insulting is that this person is an “heir” to the money. Fuck them. Inheritance tax should be very, very high.

      I disagree and I am going to give you an honest and not emotionally charged reply. Protesting by vandalizing yachts disincentivizes them from spending their money increasing the hoarding. They will just spend it on other ways to show their wealth instead of supporting a somewhat working-class industry. Worse yet, they will just not spend it making the situation worse. Also, it is a super obvious way to get caught and arrested and good luck proving you didn’t do it. Who else was on the docks that night? In short, you made the situation worse and got arrested worsening your position and ability to impact change.

      This is increasingly becoming more popular lately without actually impacting change. It is turning the average voter against these activists and their causes though.

        True.

        If you’re going to risk being jailed, might as well go out killing a CEO.
