There are 1050 estimated billionaires in the US. In 2024 we’ve had 38 school shooting related deaths.
So a bit more than 2 months…
How many people got shot at school shootings, though?
He is not talking about school related deaths but about deaths of school children, so everyone who is still a school age.
It specifically says shot. So sure let’s expand to include all children shot at school or otherwise.
Who said anything about the US? Why not use world numbers?
29 years, assuming we maintain 2024 school shooting levels. I propose that we just skip the schoolchildren shootings altogether, and just skip straight to French Revolution rates of aristocrat deaths. They unalived over 14,000 aristocrats over just a two year period.
Given demographics in the US today, those are rookie numbers. I think we could really show history how it ought to be done and bump that up to some really fast math.
The real unfortunate downside though was that 70% of the casualties during the reign of terror was worker/peasant class. Getting at those rich people meant they had to go through 700,000 human shields that the wealthy put in front of themselves. I figure our current wealthy elite wouldn’t be reached until a far higher number of Americans perished.
There’s a lot of fucking bootlicker assholes out there still.
They killed them. Unalived sounds stupid.
Agreed, fuck this Newspeak nonsense. People kill, die, fuck, shit, piss, go off half-cocked making asses of themselves, etc.
I’m all for censoring pejoratives that are inherently derogatory on the basis of sex, gender, nationality or racial characteristics, but I am deeply critical of shit like ‘unaliving’. I am open to someone correcting this view, but it’s something that started with large corporations afraid of their bottom line. IMO it has no place in the Fediverse.
steps off of soapbox, curious if the ban hammer cometh
Ah ah, this is Lemmy.world
Killed triggers the moderation and censorship tools more quickly. This way some idiot bootlicker has to “get offended” and manually report it, making it take longer for the admins to notice and take it down.
If your lemmy instance cares about that sort of language, please join a new one. The only instances I’m aware of that care about harsh language are .ml (censors bitch and some other curses) and .world (regularly deletes stuff celebrating the UHC CEO’s murder).
Otherwise, this is lemmy, you aren’t on some site that cares about looking friendly and soft for advertisers. Please don’t bring that self censorship shit here.
Modern aristocrats are also much more mobile than their ancien regime counterparts.
On a completely unrelated note, I wonder how far the FOSSCAD community has come with developing surface to air missiles.
This is ignoring inheritance!
So, who here didn’t know that there are several orders of magnitude more kids than there are billionaires?
lol
We’d have have to use drugs or something first to get them to sign over their wealth. Probably film it, make sure no one thinks it was under duress. The whole process could take months to make sure it looks legit. CIA level brainwashing maybe? I donno, just spitballing. Then just make sure they can’t backtrack on everything by finishing the job.
Not necessary. After the first round of billionaires has been dispatched, their nepo babies will see the writing on the wall and sign it over quite willingly without any kind of coercion.
This, make them afraid of having too much at once. It’s what people recieving disability payments are already used to. (You actually get cut off and removed from healthcare providers if you’re disabled and have 2000 in savings, and your spouse’s income counts so you basically can’t get married.
Let him cook
I haven’t actually done the math, but by percentages I think they are probably fairly close.
Its not hard to look up school shooting fatalities, but it would be depressing
In total, you’d only need four numbers:
- The total number of school aged children
- The number of school aged children who died due to violent crime
- The total number of billionaires
- The total number of billionaires who died due to violent crime
Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn’t need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.
Welp that sucked.
69 deaths in 2024 (323 school shootings in 1 year. More school shootings than school days. What are you doing there?)*
And
400+ billionaires the poorest is 3.3B
So 2024 had 1 Billionare death, at this rate, we need 399 more years…
*I forgot to add. Both this source and me are not american. Feel free to correct me with a more local source
One small problem:
Billionaires are not closed in together in a poorly secured room, thus you will need a lot more effort to just shoot down one of them.
Just arrange a dick measuring contest, and the largest dicks with the smallest wieners will come together. (pun not intended)
The 55th World Economic Forum will happen in a few weeks, but the security will probably be, like, almost twice as tight as the average school.
/s
Good point, even though the numbers don’t check out.
There were 69 children killed this year. 813 billionaires in the US. It would take almost 12 years.
Where did you get that number? John Hopkins is reporting 48,204 gun deaths for people aged 0-17
So actually less than a week.
“There were 2,526 gun deaths in 2022 among 1- to 17-year-olds, averaging to nearly 7 per day.”
48,204 is total gun deaths.
These are both horrific figures and in no way am I intending to diminish either.
I noticed that finding a statistical breakdown is really difficult, so I went with a source I knew was reliable and still gave a number. Thank you for finding something more specific.

My mistake, I was only looking at the school shootings.
So were these sausages I bought today.
And I want my scalps!
Make it so.
So many heirs tho…
What do we do if their heirs just inherit it?
Anakin Skywalker time? 🤔
If we’re waving magic wands around, change the tax laws to limit how much you can inherit.
Changing the step up basis thing is actually pretty low hanging fruit.

I mean, if we could easily change laws, we wouldn’t need to murder a bunch of rich people, just seize any assets that exceed a certain limit (a wealth cap essentially) and call it a day. No bloodshed. Frankly, I’m not a fan of violence if there is a peaceful path.
Another fun fact, billionaires and their lifestyles emmit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person in their lifetimes.
So what you are saying is we have plenty supply of school children and not enough billionaires? Let’s see how we can get more billionaires then. Or do you want to reduce the number of school children? Because that is being worked on constantly…America, you have the freedom to get killed by someone with mental issues anytime.
Unfortunately billionaires rarely try to educate themselves about the world at all, let alone gather together in a single cramped room to be educated. Still, it’s a nice idea.
My OCD wonders if they factored in having to assassinate the heirs of the CEOs who immediately become billionaires, recursively until every fortune has been divvied up so many ways nobody has a billion anymore. Cuz that would be necessary if you really want to “run out” of billionaires, and would also mean you advocate executing children for inheriting a lot of money. This does require thinking beyond the simple meme, but go ahead - you can do it!
Unlike royalty the transfer of wealth isn’t instant so if you work fast enough you can achieve a brief window when there are no billionaires.
Wealthy people likely have a living trust and the next trustee picks up immediately without needing time-consuming procedures like probate.
People might be reluctant to assume possession of billions if people were murdering/ systematically killing billionaires. So, it might be achieved relatively quickly.
Sure you can have the infinite money stone. All you have to do is make it past everyone who will suffer to power it, there’s a lot more of them than you and they are hungry
Compare the number of size S body bags used every time the cops gather to watch another “mentally troubled loner” to the average number of immediate family over 18 size of each billionaire, kids would have a trust fund guardian you’d rather capture than kill. All in all you’d probably expend a lot less ammo for more benefit going top down. Hypothetically of course.
Any reason to prefer capturing trust fund guardians rather than killing them? I mean, the base plan doesn’t call for checking how the original billionaire got their money or assessing them personally. We’re operating strictly at meme level - controlling enormous wealth is evil. “Kill them! Kill them all!” Anybody who decides to wuss out and start adding constraints could be a shill or an apologist - at any rate it doesn’t show full commitment to Sparkle Motion.
I wonder what that particular scenario’s Gini coëfficient versus Cumulative Assassinations plot looks like. Sounds like the plot for a new season of Death Note.
Starting a psyop on 4chan for making edgy school shooter wannabes start aiming at billionaires instead.
“You see anon, it’s not that girls don’t like you or that your class has 1 non-white person in cornbread America, it’s that billionaires are leeches in society, and the cops they own would stop you. Don’t fire at classmates, fire at the upper class.”
I tried to teach socialism for terminally 4chan people, it’s hard, and can be immediately undone by /pol/, some other nazi shit, etc.
I did it once, in person, and all it took was food every day for a few months. We all shared our food at lunch instead of keeping it to ourselves, and we all went away more full than we had before. (the reason is that we all got a larger variety of flavors than before, but that’s not the point. The point is communism) Never out had to talk about leftism or politics either, people just sort of came around via eating.
For good measure point out that people migrating into the country are often because the 1% are offering them otherwise high paying jobs at below minimum wage, but thanks to the exchange rate that’s like a million dollars an hour back in their home country.
Don’t make it obvious that you’re on the Left or they’ll ignore you on principle. Make it sound like you’re “one of them”
Dey tuk er jobs
This guy gets it
These people believe they are just one crypto rug pull away from being part of the 1%
This argument won’t work on them.
