By now it should come as no surprise that corporate CEOs and the billionaire class are the enemy. They are villains, evil incarnate, and the biggest threat to both the environment and 99.9% of the population. But they are ensconced, entrenched and removed from physical view. They are immune to the effects that they are having on the world and from the rest of the society on which they prey.
I think we can all pretty much agree on this, right?
So what to do? You and I, as lower or middle class serfs have NO power, not individually and, near as I can tell, as a group.
But someone, somewhere, somehow needs to take action. I'm thinking now about something that's more a movie plot than anything else, but maybe some sort of shadow group, like Anonymous, could take fucking action.
Wouldn't it be great if a small military unit, a team of John Wicks, started hunting billionaires? Maybe start with an ultimatum: Divest themselves of your wealth. They get to keep one property, one yacht and, say $50million. But the rest gets ploughed back into the economy, overseen by the UN, Red Cross, I don't know – figure that part out later.
If they don't? Well, then they're targets. One day they'll wake up at 3am with six Baba Yagas around their bed ready to sort shit out.
There's nothing I can do to make this happen – I'm a 60yo out-of-shape IT professional, but it's nice to dream. Feel free to elaborate on my fantasy.
