This song has to be taken in the context of its time. You see, discovery channel used to air documentaries and animal shows.

like and share if u would beat a billionare with a metal pole
I'd use a thin bamboo stick first, that shit leaves a stinging burn sensation on the skin
Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.
Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.
Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.
Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)
That doesn't always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.
The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed until the 90s. For example the official number for the Gwangju uprising is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn't include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.
The government ordered the soldiers to shoot the protesters, and they did, and hardly anyone knows about it today.
Indonesia is also worth looking at.
Don't have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side
In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.
How many wars the US has won since WWII?

If anyone would like the actual article:
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.
If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
In a hypothetical world where billionaires cannot go outside a security perimeter for fear of their lives, how soon would we see people refusing the inheritance or donating massive portions?
You just assume that everyone rich would seem rich. If i got billions noone would know. Not everyone needs gargantuan houses and excessively expensive cars and yachts. I would still live in a moderatly tiny house because i don't like housework AND don't like strangers in my house doing that. In fact i just had billions. Nothing in my life would change. I'd be safe in your world 😁
Also what for? To show others i have money? So i could never ever trust a person again? Not everyone wants to be a rockstar. Only those whose personalities are so undeveloped that they need the constant ego-strokes from random strangers to even feel something. I just feel pity for jokes like elon musk.
True, but you'd need to really stay under the radar in such a world. Any point of contact where someone else knows you have that money would put you at risk. And those can be generated just by getting the money in the first place.
For the record I think it would be a terrible world. Historically, mob violence often kills innocent people, all it would take would be an accusation. And one person's poverty is another person's wealth. They wouldn't exactly stop to ask about the economically defined classes. It would be more like, "Dave got a luxury car, I wonder how much money he's hiding..."
And also, I think I would be someone giving it away as fast as possible. I'm like you, after a couple creature comforts and securing the rest of my life, there's no more need for the money. It's not like I can take it with me.

It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they'd be less likely to want to become one.
I think they'd just hire more security. They have the money for it.
Edit: I agree with your sentiment though
It is enough to have one person doing the inside job, but this will escalate too and... welcome to modern Russia
Time to return to monk
Imagine how good one would be off if we had just 1 or 2 million in the bank..... apples would be like 5 bucks each but it would be nice for a good month. But anyway like how do we get say 500 bucks a week and they get 20,000? Or 3,000,000? Like how does that even make sense to anyone?

Eat the rich? They sure are making everything else too expensive.
Beat inflation at the grocery store (and everywhere else) with this one simple trick. Capitalists hate it!

They have a far more functional society than we do
Bezos might nuke us
Naw. He can’t afford to lose cheap labor
lose ~~cheap~~ chimp labor.
Once they have AI bots it's game over.
This is honestly the reason why I don't think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.
IMO we are probably on the brink of the last possible society that can on a technical level. I would say, nukes, and even drone bombs etc.... are unlikely to be utilized, simply due to collateral damage, infrastructure damage etc....
However, things like the boston dynamics spot etc... We're probably a decade away from when 1 person can control an army of perfectly loyal soldiers.
Unless they're maintaining the software themselves, there's no such thing as perfectly loyal. In the past the revolutionaries needed to capture the armory, now they need to capture / subvert the servers / programmers.

It's alright, given the current performance of Blue Origin it'll take him a decade or two to get the missile working.
