A bullet to the head of billionaires will also ensure that they will be on their best behavior.

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 85 points 1 week ago

People will post this on Reddit and unironically mention China

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

At least in China the rules are accessible and determined by municipal governments.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

I bet if you asked this fucking guy he would say something along those lines

Lemmy users say a vast citizen-powered guillotine system can ensure ‘billionaires will be on their best behavior’

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

Federated posters have really caught on in the past few weeks, I've noticed; nice post

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 21 points 1 week ago

Do we have any FOSS designs for a guillotine?

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Another banger from a federated account! (See my post below)

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

Sadly there currently only appears to be purchasable closed source blueprints, or fairly vague historical instructions.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week ago

That would be a valuable contribution in 2025. Would probably also get headlines and I'm sure many would be built as a result. Which is exactly what we need right now.

[-] rando895@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Hmmmmmm it could be possible to set up a vast surveillance network targeting billionaires too right?

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So much for “land of the free”.

This will probably be embraced by the same people who disobeyed covid lockdowns because “muh freedumz!”

I sincerely want this guy to be at the bottom of the ocean

Minority Report: "This bad actually and leads to problems."

Larry watching Minority Report: "What the fuck this is awesome"

The guy who helped a government develop a database system is in favour of the government developing data gathering systems? Well, I never...

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

A shit-ass database system that treats empty strings as null values, and doesn't do automatic casting between ISO date-formatted strings and date/datetime types, yet costs a fuckton to license. Even if he weren't a multibillionaire piece of shit, that fucking prick still deserves the guillotine just for OracleDB's unholy existence; that software wasn't released: it escaped.

The Deserter: The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world... (he's silent for a second) You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know.

You: What?

The Deserter: That you should not make the mistake of mistake of anthropomorphizing the bourgeoisie

Surveillance that billionaires themselves will not be subject to, I'm sure.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

naturally.. this is just for the mere 'citizens' not the overlords

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Oh wow! Wouldn't you know all the systems stopped working specifically in the general area at coincidentally the exact same time this rich boi was doing something naughty. Geee I guess itxs all hearsay and inadmissible now. Shucks. That's too bad. Case closed.

[-] homhom9000@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

I was watching 90 day fiance the other way and one of the persons wife is in China. When they were driving around he would see a "flashing light" and freak out. It got to the point where they had a fight over it, she was like "I donno maybe the apartment camera or something" and he'd make her drive around to catch it again. On stormfront, people were saying it's probably China watching them and other propaganda bs.

Now I know in the US, there's hella cameras in public places plus we're encouraged to surveil on our own with ring cameras and the like. So what's so scary about a camera flash? It's scary when it's tied to the evil seeseepee but we'll gladly sign our own privacy away for any private company that contracts with the state anyway

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Amazing, willingly participating in a reality show where you are constantly being filmed, and freaking out about some random light because ebil communism!

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

yeonmi-park In capitalist America their oligarchs use AI cameras to micromanage all their citizens and punish them publicly in real time.

[-] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Cyberpunk styles are going to involve makeup that puts extra eyes and facial features to confuse AI face trackers or even just going outside with billionaire face masks on

[-] TheChemist@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

I heard Juggalo face paint can accomplish that.

[-] will_a113@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

Let's put it in Larry's house first for beta testing

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude looks like Bert Kreischer and Brendan Schaub did a fusion dance to create the perfect dickhead

He lives in a different universe than the citizens. Why does he give a shit what kind of behavior they're on?

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

It's incomprehensible to us because we lack the Billionaire Mindset: a severe degree of narcissism that compels them to control everyone and everything at the costs of cheapened human lives and the moral bankruptcy of their own souls.

Basically because he's a vampiric husk man.

[-] TheChemist@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Because in his head, likely, all that isn't his, should belong to him not soon, but NOW!! In great possibility, to him, everyone ought to obey his will.

[-] Stolen_Stolen_Valor@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

we already fuckin have that the only waffling you could do is by arguing about the definition of “ai”

[-] jUzzo6@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago
