Remember, vandalism or arson against the property of the rich is just the working class recouping its stolen wages. Someone's going to have to fix Elon's broken windows, and the people who do that will have far, far less wealth than Mr. Musk. Some glazier is going to feed his family at the expense of Tesla's owners. In this day and age of plutocracy, property crime against the wealthy is an unambiguous force of social good.
Remember. The rich have assets. And those assets can burn.
I don't want to live in a violent society, because it's usually a volatile, unpredictable one, and that's bad for me. I don't want to see rich people's assets burn.
I want to see them taxed. A rule-based, peaceful society benefits the rich immensely by protecting their assets, an extremely valuable service that they should pay for.
So, if anybody can think of a better way to remind them of their obligations to humanity, I'm listening.
Just a little burning, as a treat?
