    I don’t understand how that changes anything. It’s not 1872. You’re not just going to take all their gold and run. It’s already entrusted to the next billionaire-to-be in their living will. The wealth inequality continues, and you go to prison for homicide.

    What am I missing?

      What you are missing is that you think I am suggesting stochastic terrorism or something. That doesn’t scare the rich, they can always build a bigger fence and pay more security guards.

      What scares the rich is when they see that the fault lines they are using to vent steam (redirect the suffering and anger) are beginning to close into a wall of solidarity, and we are beginning to realize that as much as we despise each other and can’t agree on religion, ideologies, values… whatever… that we realize that none of that matters until we all deal with the rich people problem.

      Solidarity and a direct understanding of the class war we are in is what scares the rich.
