    I will get banned for this, perhaps: I seriously think we should be setting their houses on fire. Show them they are not welcome on this planet. Just fucking revolt against them.

    I simply do not see another way. They have all the money in the world to change public opinion and manipulate everything to their gain. We have to not play the game, ignore everything and just get rid of them without going trough the “proper means”. The proper means do not work.

      At some point one would think high ranking military might break off and start forcing change, before that might happen , doing stuff like this would only allow for legal actions to be taken against people burning down a parasites 100th address. Following the rule of law is necessary if you want to keep the general population on your side, Until it isn’t.

      I don’t think this is particularly crass. They are free to just not hoard all the wealth and do the worst things. Then people wouldn’t blame them for the things they cause.

        And these guys just go around buy up hearts and minds, burning down their 100th place of residence would only get spun into some dystopian novel used against your cause. Yet we are watching Albania step up and threaten something like this but that has many layers and they are organizing VS someone on the internet suggesting lone wolf vigilante justice , or I could be wrong.

    I’m really curious how we don’t know where he lives yet. I’d expect someone that rich, loud, and conspicuous would be hard to hide. I’ve just kind of always assumed that the home address of anyone that big in the public eye would be easy to figure out.

      A of these guys own a ton of properties and only declare one of them a primary residence due tax purposes.

      If Elon lives anywhere, it’s on a private jet. I doubt he spends more than ten days a year at any single building.

      Some of his himes have been leaked and even made the news. But he and other billionaires have many properties all owned by LLCs, and knowing where they lay their heads any given night is difficult.

      With people as high-profile as Musk, it’s even more difficult because his entourage of staff, security, etc is big enough that they need their own support. You’d think that makes it easier - just follow the line of black vehicles. But lots of the secondary support apparatus may actually be kept at a different site nearby, so the house with all the visible security may be where the support staff and mobile security/logistics team is, while Musk himself may onky have 2-3 vehicles going to his site.

    Alright just do it already you dorks. I’m waiting. It’s not like doxing these people are going to do anything and you are likely to get arrested and beaten up and tortured by police if you dare protest at their houses. Honestly if you do plan on doing something at least burn down these places and do some real damage. Break some windows and put down some tags. Make it unvaluable as possible. It’s probably the only real asset they have that can’t be easily replaced without pulling out a loan out of their insane networth anyway.

    A lot of stuff what billionaires are doing shouldn’t be swept under personal privacy.

    “Don’t bug me, it’s my own business how I spend my money”, some would say. For random people, that’s true. But when you command absurd amounts of wealth, maybe all of that stuff has consequences to the rest of the society.

    We demand transparency from people who have power over our lives, and oligarchs shouldn’t be an exception to that rule.

      Every trade that exceedes 1 Million should have one neutral agent™ that approves the trade.

      For every new Million a new agent should be around to Approved the trade.

      No Person can have the same neutral agent twice in their Trading.

      Trade volume is saved for a years and if traders exceed their Million in a years the last trade needs to be supervised

      Etc.

        Billionaires own the people who control the means of mass destruction: Trump who suffers from dementia and Hegseth who’s an alcoholic and a moron. They both suffer from brain-damaged levels of stupidity and can be easily goaded into a nuclear attack whenever it suits billionaires to have one.

          1. Billionaires and Capitalism.
          2. Abrahamic religions. (no problem with Voodoo or Shinto or Sikhism or Bahai or …) Prosperity gospel is not ok. Saying that hell is mostly filled with women and that women are less capable of civic life than men is not ok.
          3. War.
          4. Boom (for some) and Bust (some never experience the downside, some never experience the upside) cycles and economic fuckery like prices bieng too high or just volitile, many rented instead of owned across the board domisiles, ads, paid subscriptions, spam, scams, gamblified everything, climate and energy mismanagement, science and all other legitimate human needs bow to the “need” for profit and lately the “need” for aristocratic rule (Trump and Musk and Yarvin aren’t the only ones who want to be kings over me), etc.

            Bahá’i is also an Abrahamic religion, by the way. It basically splintered from Shia Islam.

            Prosperity gospel is not an original feature of Christianity nor of Islam. Rich people who’ve been dodging taxes would certainly populate hell as imagined in these traditions.

              Bahai is an eclectic remix, redo, reframe of the old “hits”. I don’t consider it Abrahamic only pecause Bahaullah was inspired by Abrahamic religion. The flavor is completely different, and the behavior too. I don’t see Baha’i as a threat the same way Christianity, Islam, and some conservative strains of Judaism are.

              What matters to me are not words, but function. What do their clerics preach? What do their doctrinal documents say? I judge every religion harshly. Many doctrinal statements do not pass the sniff test.

              That said, the people for whom the religions serve as cultural background, are not simply robots who implement all aspects of relidious doctrine at all times. I judge people on how they live their lives, and on what they want to do in the world as I intimately know and experience it.

              So Zohran is great, but not Islam. Talarico is great, but not Christianity. I may agree with many things Pope Leo says, but my world is better without the Catholicism. Etc.

          Is your point supposed to be a critique of removing billionaire privacy on anti-“an eye for an eye” grounds? It’s not revenge or retaliation. It’s parity. If they can put us in a surveillance state, they should be spied on too. Why would we take the moral high road over the people trying to kill the planet for profit? Fuck 'em.

      At least in this case “doxxing” could restore an asymmetry: Billionaires own the major internet platforms, they already know a good portion about a big number of people. It’s just not called doxxing.
