I’m all for holding robber barons accountable, but not a fan of state sanctioned murder.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I’d rather see the assets redistributed, probably some jail time, and then strict limits and oversight on property and possessions that effectively prohibit hoarding more wealth than one could need for a comfortable living.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Agreed. Not a fan either, but I'm also not a fan of authoritarian states with draconian capital punishment.

Besides, screw banks.
