Comment on billionaires are a cancer on society [literally]
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 days agofuck the law. those laws let them off the hook because they bribed (lobby) to have those laws.
Just because a mass murder is legal does not mean it has to go unpunished.
The holocaust was 100% legal, and no one has ever complained that it is unfair to prosecute nazis for not breaking the law.
when the law is so unfair, you cannot use the law as an argument.

I don’t think you’re understanding me. I’ll see if I can rephrase.
There is no “jail them for life” option without the law. If you try to imprison them without the law, the law will just come in and free them. You’re suggesting a middle option that is simply not feasible.
I’m asking you to choose between:
“Guillotine Party”, a political party, much like the Tea Party, dedicated to stripping the problem-class of their excessive political power, perhaps by creating laws to justify their permanent imprisonment. We politically, figuratively decapitate them. This approach can (theoretically) jail them for life, by creating the law that would allow it to happen.
“guillotine party”, where we solve the problem-class in much the same way that 18th century France solved their aristocracy problem. We literally decapitate them. This approach will not jail them for life; this approach will execute them for anti-revolutionary activities.
While the specific details will vary wildly, these are the only two general options we have available to us to effect reform: politics, or force.
