    I don’t get the desire to violently dispose of billionaires; it’s a status defined by wealth, we just gotta take their money and they stop being billionaires. Problem solved, right?

      Well there is the issue that to become a billionaire one must exploit and abuse tens, hundreds, thousands of people? Not to mention second order effects from their actions like bankrolling politicians that strip workers rights or safety standards for example, which impacts millions of people. Some people want to see some justice I suppose.
