well I think by definition of the quesiton, if it's "billionaires vs non-billionaires" then their security team are probably non-billionaires and therefore have resigned to join the fight. So they're just left with whatever non-human secutiry they already have - walls, guns, drones, cameras, etc, but not staff, and they can't buy anything more bc no non-billionaires will sell anything to them. Actually, using that logic, we don't really have to do anything and we can starve them out by simply ignoring them and refusing to sell them any food, lol. The idea of a "homeless" billionaire running around the streets begging passers-by for food is somehow quite amusing.
And yet, the poor and stupid people queue up to join the ICE and MAGA organisations.
They would be at upset as they should be, if they were smarter. They wouldn't be "poor and stupid" if they were smarter.
That's not a koikidoink. USA has spent a very long time deliberately creating this situation. And by USA I mean those in power.
The people joining ICE may not be who you think they are. No journalism has scared me quite so much as this article:

my uncle knows im looking for work and hella enthused was like why dont you just work for ice they have a great signing bonus, like bro im gonna send you to el salvador first if I somehow decide thats what I want to do with my life
