Just gotta convince all these boys they can’t get girlfriends in their cohort because rich billionaires are too busy buying and trading and discarding them like pokemon cards.

Er, that is literally what is happening.

It is a factor with some nonzero impact overall, yes. But the average town won’t see any of that. They’re all concentrated at capitol cities and vacation areas. So if some rando guy in rando city is wondering why no women within 5 miles want him, the elite are not on the minds of any of his prospects.
Seleni@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unfortunately that just makes them shoot the women instead as punishment for being ‘whores’.

rich billionaires
As opposed to poor billionaires?

Can’t you just show them all the love Luigi is getting? Seems like a good motivator.

School shooters are largely children, for whom it is much easier to steal daddy/mommy’s gun and go to school than it is to:
- steal the gun
- pick a cromulent target
- acquire info about the target
- actually travel to wherever he is
- get past the probable armed guards
- get close enough with the gun to kill the guy
Like it’s not impossible, almost nobody is completely untouchable, but one is clearly easier than the other. I mean like you’re not wrong, but good luck with that, it’s not likely.

Also after the first couple of KOs, the rest of the guys on that list are going off the grid, retiring to their yachts / chalets in the alps / volcano fortresses. Are we to expect a teenage would-be school shooter to do some Navy SEALs shit and land on a yacht with a black helicopter?

I’d watch that for sure. Kim Possible: Billionaire Hunter now streaming on Disney+
Remember ‘Red Dawn’? Go Wolverines!
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Would still get kills regardless if they go in expecting to die and unlike with killing children if they do somehow live after the whole situation they’d have earned a good bit of glory and respect. Also they could always go after closer lower profile but still notable targets, IE megachurch pastors or local political backers.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Thing about schools though is they’re less guarded than rich dudes (1-2 cops max ime, meanwhile rich dudes have generally 2-3+ but also of course the rich guy has less square feet to cover than a school, the school cops can’t be everywhere, and the rich security only has to watch him). Furthermore the school cops are uniformed, you can just start with them while they’re not looking and now you have at least 5min before more cops even get there, then however long it takes them to “establish a perimeter” and then go in, which could be 7 min or it could be, what was it in Uvalde, 2hr?
Megachurch leaders are for sure more accessible, but you can’t actually fight them that way, by making Pastor Steve a martyr, all you do is let his successor Pastor Mike use it as fodder while taking his congregation. You have to fight them by helping the followers themselves, which is tough (especially since people seem to actually hate the followers instead of recognizing them as victims who were vulnerable being taken in by a charlatan.)

I like how seriously you took it

Hypotheticals can be kinda fun, it’s kinda like spontaneous creative writing.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You forgot the one thing that makes this plan a lot more plausible, the pedos can’t stop themselves from trying to fuck children. And if the kids turn out to be the actual predators in this situation, too bad for the billionaires.
SippyCup@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I mean, my boy Jescob Jerome Walter did it on December 9th, 2024. Some video game guy took the rap tho
Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
The sad truth is that killing a bunch of kids is much easier than killing a single wealthy person.
epicthundercat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah. They just need to be smarter about it. Tell them to target Bohemian Grove. I hear it’s packed once a year…
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
What’s that?
Taldan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Which is how the wealthy like it
obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 3 weeks ago
With the number of school shootings here, I think it’d only take weeks.
bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well, approximately 288 unique clients have been identified this far.
So probably more like a month.
But there is a good possibility that we could find further pedophile networks; as it appears that they might have had multiple suppliers that would poach Epstein’s trafficked children and compete against him.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
You’re forgetting all the freaks that would continue to defend the rich pedos they’d have to mow down on the way in. It’d definitely still be months to years to get them all.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That really relies on their ability to accurately identify a pedo. The moral panic in which people are being called pedos for anything and nothing is still going on even though we have learned that the Epstein conspiracy was huge and horrible.
Now if they only targeted the people heavily present in the files, yeah probably they’d be seen as heroic
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Just decide that anyone with a net worth over a certain amount is a pedo, and if they don’t want to be labeled and hunted as such, they need to publicly denounce the other rich pedos.
Dojan@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Anyone over a certain networth is evil of some kind anyway, so pedo or not it’s still a safe bet.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Also donate all personal wealth in excess of $50,000,000 to The Sovereign Fund for Humanities Poor.
Grimy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Maybe we can meet halfway and target billionaires instead?
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m all for returning fire in the class war, I just really don’t want everyone the populist right accuses of pedophilia to get attacked, because that’s everyone.

MAGAs are ALL pedos.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Now now, let’s not use the tactics of the vulgar and immoral in a moral war.
Some of them are just really fucking stupid.
ameancow@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Most MAGA are just dumbfucks who would change their “values” 180-degrees if given the right emotional narrative to follow, they’re literally just children themselves, clad in machismo and vile rhetoric.
The evil pedo-aligned people who need to be targeted (with legal repercussions) are the grifters and pipers all over youtube, twitter, cable news and radio.
We really need to be careful about this "kill all pedos’ narrative while living in a climate where they are working feverishly to label basically anyone they don’t like but especially LGBTQ+ people as “pedophiles.”
datavoid@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The people who started calling other people pedos were all pedos themselves, it’s called a diversion
ieatpwns@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Clients and billionaires (they’re the same picture)
Abundance114@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Oh, vigilantism against targets that weren’t even “verified” until recently.
However wrong I think your idea is; shooting up anything other than kids would be great.
WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s certainly a dystopian failed-state ass take on a justice system, but I’m sure that if the 99% were given the choice between a school or health insurance board room, they’d pick the corporate parasites 100% of the time.
redsand@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
Stick to billionaires and the chances of a false positive drop to 0.

In a similar vein, if you’re trying to protest the power structures by looting and burning buildings and you see a 7-11, turn left. Keep turning left until you come across upscale detached residential buildings, with private drives and gates. Then resume the riot.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
If you keep turning left, you’re just going to go around and around in circles, LARPing NASCAR.
Everything else seems right. Do unto the rich what you would like to do unto ICE.
ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
It’s weird this hasn’t really happened, given how a lot of people do it for attention, but if you’re just one of a dozen others that month, what attention are you getting?

Unfortunately, child murderers have more in common with child molesters than with children.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Most of these particular child murderers are children themselves.

I’m not saying it should happen. I’m just saying I’m surprised it isn’t constantly happening.

Sir. Please direct your complaints to the Vatican
HubertManne@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Every mention? Im pretty sure epstein had circles so for certain every one would not be a pedo. Heck not every one would even necessarilly be a rich asshole although most would. I mean there would certainly be greater tragedies than that.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Vigilantism isn’t sustainable.
redsand@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
There are only around 3000 billionaire’s globally so you’re right, that’s a population that could be hunted to extinction rather quickly. Not very sustainable.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
They have heirs who have been raised to be as Sociopathic as their parents were. We have to end bloodlines, and confiscate fortunes.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In minutes they’d call every such killer a “trans extremist” and soon after they’d disarm trans people entirely. They’ve been itching for an excuse to actually do that one.

They can’t possibly stop school shooters, but they’re definitely going to try to stop wealthy pedo shooters.
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 weeks ago
I’m surprised there haven’t been more shootings of the wealthy since Luigi given the positive response to him shooting a health care millionaire.
