    Because violence won’t solve the problem. We need global coordination. Violence just turns us into squabbling regional and ethnic factions.

      The violence is necessary to show others what happens when you betray half of humanity like this. It’s not about punishing them (they’ll never change) but about showing the next generation of would-be money hoarders that society won’t tolerate these parasites anymore.

        Right, and how are you ensuring, in this age of intensifying populism, captured information networks and unbridled individualistic greed, that once you release the genie, violence will only be used for that purpose?

      And how exactly would we achieve this ‘global coordination’ you’re mentioning, how long will it take,because I don’t think we got much time left

        Yes, this we agree on. It’s likely impossible and we’re running out of time. But that doesn’t mean that violence is an effective solution. It will just accelerate the decline into factionalism, a state in which the wealthy will be even more advantaged.
