Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

    You can’t direguard anyone’s humanity. Even billionaires. There are no universally bad people, negativity is always relational.

    Though I do think you can weigh a billionaire’s comfort against the folks they made billions from, and that may just be potent enough for the death penalty.

    However, I don’t think punishment is a humane solution. Rehabilitation and integration are always preferred. Though again, some folks integrate best as corpses.

      Exactly. They can cooperate for a better world. I think they’ll have to, soon.

      Of course, I’m not going to shed any tears for the corpse of someone who prioritized their next super-yacht upgrade over my geandchldren’s clean air and food.

      But I’ll keep advocating for everyone to have another chance to cooperate for public social good.

      "No good billionaires” means we never stop monitoring (and legally limiting) billionaire’s choices, not that none of them can ever make a right choice.

        Humans are human. Just harder to accept immutable human rights apply to humans that do anything to fight the notion. billionaires take shits just like anyone. i agree that we need to stop enableing the opressor just never assume their behaivior aint human - because it sadly is.
