If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it’s only fair they fall under that same model.

You know what? Seeing as how we’re getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I’d voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.
Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.

This is a reminder post. Remember when tech billionaire Larry Ellison said this?

He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.

Why do billionaires always look like creepy Madame Tussauds wax statues?

He’s literally 80 years old. You can only do so much to hide your age before you start looking absurd.

I just predicted this morning that the way things are going his and his billionaire friend’s heads will be on pikes before the end of the decade
It will be declared an international monument that will be visited by schools for decades to come to learn about the importance of regular class wars to keep the parasites in check in a society.

No spoilers, but I was expecting a bit more from the movie. I wasn’t disappointed, but I was expecting more. Although apparently it’s the first part of a trilogy so I’ll wait and see.

Golly, sounds like it’s time to watch Larry Ellison a lot closer too.

Can we have a crowd-sourced bounty system for billionaires? The more billions they have the higher the bounty. I think it would be a good investment of public funds and benefit mankind greatly.

Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he’s gonna big brother you. And of course don’t forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it’s only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)

The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.
I think all the little things people do help contribute to the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mentality. Take that away and there’s going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.
And they’ll create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.

Does he count as a citizen? Will he be surveilled also to keep him in line? Will it force them to be kind to their employees and not cheat them?
Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No. Laws don’t apply to oligarchs.

The problem is that they do keep pushing. And getting away with it.

Like the Victorian era?
Dasus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
How was the Victorian era a surveillance state? Getting away with murder was basically a sure thing unless you were literally caught while sticking a knife into someone in broad daylight.
Idk what you’re smoking but can I have some as well
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
I was relating “best behaviour” to the strict moral standards of the Victorian era. Is the surveillance related to breaking the law or catching you in an embarrassing situation? If it’s the second case then we’ll all surely be vexed.

Inability?
Larry Ellison pays less taxes than you because he is a parasite on society and we let him steal from us.
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, right. His inability is a choice, an ethical one.
