We shouldn’t anthropomorphize any billionaires. They’re not even people at that point, just destructive aliens who undemocratically ruin everyone’s good time.

We need confiscatory taxation for a better future.

Whilst true, it’s important to focus on the worst ones first, as with everything there is a scale.

It's kind of saying we should only focus on the #1 mass-murdering dictator in the world, so while many of them are actively slaying people, lets just focus on #1 for now.

No, we can have many targets. People who hoard money for the benefit of themselves with the detriment of society and the population at large are all "destructive aliens who undemocratically ruin everyone’s good time" to borrow the words of parent commentator. If just 10% were slightly less evil and egoistic, it would lead to huge improvements, and only a slight reduction to their own lifestyles. That they don't, is a stain on the legacy of humanity.

Nice straw man, I argued for nothing that you are arguing against.

Nope.

We need to bring the entire extraction class to heel. They are degrading, even destroying, society.

_sigh_ I didn’t say we shouldn’t.

Don't tell that to Paul Graham.

The Ellison Cabal represent the primary enemies of freedom all over this earth. It's imperative to defeat them.
