Every Billionaire Is Bad (ACAB, Pt. 2)

Not too long ago, I wrote a little something to explain why “all cops are bastards” rings true to me. With recent news focusing on billionaires and whether or not we should be celebrating when one of them bites the dust, I want to expand on that blog post just a bit:

All capitalists are bastards; or: every billionaire is bad.

The more popular hashtag is #EveryBillionaireIsAPolicyFailure. While I don't disagree that we, the regular people of the world, should create and enforce rules that prohibit the sort of wealth hoarding that we see today, that hashtag shifts responsibility for the shittiness of wealthy fuckos off of them and onto us.

Fuck that.

Just like a good person chooses to be a bastard every time she puts on her police uniform, billionaires choose to be bastards by hoarding their wealth and using it to rig the systems of the world in their favor. Sure, there's nothing to stop them from being billionaires—but there's also nothing forcing them to be greedy, sociopathic bastards. That, my friends, is a choice.

So, no, I'm not sorry for celebrating every death of every one of these fucking fascist overlords who are bleeding our planet dry and causing human suffering on a scale that boggles the mind. May every one of them meet their end sooner rather than later.

And, hey, if they want me not to hate them for being awful parasites, they can always choose not to be billionaires anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️
