I can’t wait until billionaires realize how worthless they actually are without people doing everything for them

Very few billionaires built from their own effort. Authors and Musicians? The guy who made Minecraft? Khaby Lame?

We can't to wait for them to realize this themselves. We need to demonstrate this by actively creating a society which excludes them.

Yes we should start arresting them and when they flee to Israel we sanction and embargo it with every country on earth

Trump is in a lot deeper with Israel. He is preparing to spend trillions invading Iran ( a country that poses no threat to us) to assist Netanyahu with his settler colonialist expansion project or Middle East manifest destiny. He bypassed congress in January to Gift Israel a new fleet of fighter jets from Boeing he also sent them an additional 8 billion in aid. Russia is the straw man. Ghisline and Epstein were Mossad and they worked for Israel to collect blackmail on the leaders of the west. Israel is violating their ceasefire and withholding aid from Gaza. Journalists still can not get in the open air prison that is Gaza and Gazans are locked in so they can’t flee. ISRAEL literally owns our politicians WAKE UP. We are backing up a country that the UN investigated and declared is committing a genocide. Almost every country has issued an arrest warrant for Netynahu but the uniparty in charge of our government is still kissing his ass.

Might be a minute. The brain damage that lets them think they've "earned" those billions kinda hides the work of others. Especially the poors.

Yep they’re definitely mentally ill

They will never realize that, they will blame any failures on others naturally. They truly believe they are better than everyone else, that their superior ability led them to invest in a company that increased in value enough for them to become filthy rich.

Surrounded by yes men and woman that agree with everything they say and tell them what a genius they are. Of course any ill outcome isn't their fault.

"All my successes are thanks to my superior intellect and skill! All my failures are the fault of bad serfs who didn't follow my vision!" - Every billionaire

When you think about it, it's not too different from how some people treat the current crop of AI, so it makes sense that they're so hypnotized by the promises.

Eh, as the world goes to shit there will always be desperate people willing to work for them, probably cheaper than before even with the AI failures, so they wouldn't care.

up until they stop paying them, once they are in thier bunkers, islands, the "servents" will feast,.
