Each billionaire signals policy failure. Our survival depends upon redistributing their legitimized theft and removing them from the seats of power before they kill us all with unnecessary world wars, genocide, famine, climate catastrophes, or substandard medical care. It's not hyperbolic or bold at this point, from the mountain of evidence against them, that they're a clear and present danger. Half of them are pedos and more are rapists. Countering aristocracy is a perpetual struggle that must be won and vigilantly guarded. The status quo and apathy results in the train going off a cliff, perhaps sooner than many think. Speeding it up as accelerationists desire is terroristically omnicidal.

The existence of billionaires does not signal policy failure. Billionaires were not responsible for any world wars, genocides, famine, climate catastrophes, or substandard medical care; these are all ancient human ills, and indeed the same policies that lead to the existence of billionaires have also lead to the average human being on the face of the earth being less likely to die painfully from any of these things, compared to the vast majority of human history.
