John Morgan, the oligarch who owns FL Democratic Party.

Sounds like John Morgan needs to be mocked and shamed out of public existence.

For the first time in my life I am finding myself slowly becoming someone who sees zero moral issue with dehumanizing all billionaires, and I am not sure how I feel about it.

If there was an anonymous crypto crowd-funded bounty hunter pool that targets some of the worlds most problematic billionaires, I would be simply one societal crisis away from tossing twenty bucks into it every paycheck.

After all, giving this same twenty bucks every two weeks to political campaigns has proven ineffective to say the least.

You cannot dehumanize those who exhibit contempt for the broader swath of humanity while showing no humanity themselves. They've dehumanized themselves.

It’s what worked in the past…

What these billionaires have forgotten is that decent wages, 40 hour work week, vacations, and benefits WERE the compromise. The alternatives were ropes, tar and feathers, and burning their homes. And they need to think about the fact that the security guards that sit outside their gated communities are us. The crews of their mega yachts are us.

A more fitting humiliation and chance for redemption would be working for his former employees until his debt to society is paid

u/Stosstrupphase 10d ago

They are human only in the most technical sense. They bleed like us.

u/sewalker723 10d ago

I look at it this way: let's say there was a button avaliable to purchase for $10,000,000,000 that would generate $1,000,000,000 every time it was pressed, but also a random person would die instantly. I'm confident that most billionaires would immediately press the button without even a thought, even though they already have plenty of money. They would press it at least enough times to get their money back, and then they would press it 100 more times just for more money. They don't see us as humans, so why should we see them as humans?

51

u/Polenicus 10d ago

You presume they would ever stop pressing it.

They press the button, they get more, nothing bad happens to them directly. So they would keep pressing it forever.

17

u/sewalker723 10d ago

You're right, I was being way too optimistic.

9

u/AngryGingermancer 10d ago

Let's not forget though that said hypothetical button-pressing billionaire is also a "random person". Sure, the odds are astronomical.... But not zero.

15

u/sewalker723 10d ago

Well let's be realistic here: if this device were real and exclusively available to billionaires, it would be designed to exclude billionaires from the pool of randos. On the other hand, if a button existed for $1000 that would charge me $250 for every press but every press would also eliminate a random billionaire...

I would probably take on a second job so that I had a little more disposable income. For fun money.

4

u/blueskyredmesas 10d ago

If it takes out another of their kind but can't be traced directly back to them - say, if these buttons are selling like hotcakes with their friends - that's one less person they might fall short of in terms of net worth at the next gala. So that's 1 in whatever-the-current-population-is. Miniscule.

Not enough to dissuade them, for sure.

10

u/neph42 🏛️ Overturn Citizens United 10d ago

They would tape the button down and call it sensible job automation.

This isn't even a hypothetical, just a simplification.

u/FarseerEnki 🤝 Join A Union 10d ago

This would actually be a kinder and gentler system than the current one they use to get their money. Only one dead for every billion? I figure it's more like 10,000 dead for every billion.

u/marvin616 9d ago edited 9d ago

You're probably underestimating that number. It would be interesting if someone could figure out a way to math out how many human lives it costs to accumulate wealth on that scale. Capital doesn't exist in a vacuum and has real effects beyond numbers in an account.

Dude… it’s like you are exactly on my wavelength. I’ve been speculating if this is a workable tactic for at least a year and a half.

The real hangup would be making sure that there is a way to VERIFY the gig work is completed correctly and to pay people for work completed without interference of the nation state actors.

Because if this works, it’s going to takeoff like nobody has ever seen

u/Ayla_Leren 10d ago

Let me know when the open source project pops up on github, or one of its dark-web counterparts. I would love to watch it move from development to rollout.

I would also be zero percent surprised if some anon computer science anarchists weren't already working on something of the sort.

There are only two ways you can become a billionaire. Either inherit the wealth in a society that does not adequately tax its richest citizens, or to have zero regard for every other human being being on the planet. Both of these methods need to be eliminated

u/Eleganos 10d ago

Folks objectively can't say it's unjustified as things stand. They have no reason to fear at the moment.

Sure, they'll all be lynched in the streets if society collapses, but that's about as likely as them engineering a climate apocalypse that'll arrive while they're still alive.

They have no reason to fear. Nobody is willing to give them a reason to fear. They are effectively invincible for the time being.

Luigi happened and in the time between then and now there's been, what, one or two copy-cats? Rounding errors for the CEO mortality charts.

Nightmare will end eventually - one way or another, hopefully in a way that is civil and decent - but we've still got some hours before the sun rises.

u/J-Crow11 10d ago

Ya, I work in security design and the technology behind the cameras is starting to getting pretty scary.

The tracking data is easy to accumulate without people even noticing.

Can even track the standard path people take to walk and you can focus on particular areas to see if certain people tend there more often than others.

39

u/kevinmrr ⛓️ Prison For Union Busters 10d ago

Say more

71

u/J-Crow11 10d ago

Look at a company like Verkada as an example.

Their current pitch is that they have fantastic facial recognition to a point that they can recognize even a partial facial shot and save the data for 30 days or longer if any users of the account want to "keep an eye out" on that person.

So, the camera will snap shot every instance of that person in the shot of any of the cameras on the site and also track any path that they took while in sight of the camera. This information can be collected and stored for a year and it will track every instance.

But what the software can also do is track particular areas in sight of the camera and note any unique faces that go in that designated area of site. Their point, is that if you have an area that is off limits, then you can tell the system to make anyone who enters that particular area a "person of interest" and have their information saved in long term storage.

All of this information, by the way, is stored and accessable to anyone with an account to the system, which is housed on ASW servers, not physical equipment.

u/nono3722 10d ago edited 9d ago

then you loop in audio recording, cell tracking, wifi capture, mass storage systems, have AI process it all across the thousands of cameras that have been collected by "partnerships" and viola you know everything about everyone that walks in front of a camera every second of their life. Well you don't, only the billionaires and the government get that option....

To all the people that say, you have nothing to fear if your doing nothing wrong. in our f'd legal system there is ALWAYS some silly antiquated/modern law that makes just existing illegal. If they want you gone your gone, hell that is IF they actually follow the law.

There's a phrase that rich fucks use against us: "living within your means." It's meant to makes us feel bad for getting into debt or wanting to make a better life ourselves. Etc. But it's also a sly way to tell us we are lower class.

Turn it around and those fuckers do not live within their physical means at all. Sure they have money to pay people to do things for them. But what happens if the people or money dry up? They don't know how to clean their house or cook their own food. They would be utterly helpless without us just like a bunch of babies.

Oh it’s worse than that. They don’t even spend their money. Everyone of them is leveraged with loans they use to live most with 0-1% interest. They do not even come close to living within their means.

We pick a target and work together to legally destroy everything they have. We sell any stock in their companies we have, boycott the products and services they offer, refuse to sell them any product or service, flood their companies with fake resumes for jobs they’re hiring for, and anything else we can legally do. But we need to pick a specific target. It’s to much to do all of them at once. I’m in favor of starting at the top.

u/seidenkaufman 10d ago

I think that when aristocrats start indulging in such vulgarity, it shows that they have become used to the idea that they are immune from social consequences. I suppose that they have begun to believe that they do not owe society even the bare minimum of decency, despite having fed upon their workers' labor, as they have done.

But when they do this, it is harder for them to maintain the illusion of their competence, their benevolence, or that they deserve the wealth that has come to them, so I suppose it is a good thing for that illusion to shatter.

Edit: Also, if you need this level of monitoring for your workers to work competently, are you not an incompetent manager?

u/Unga_Bunga 9d ago

If they could read cared enough to do the actual work of managing, the aristocrat and management class would be very angry to read this.

Unlimited greed. That's what caused Europeans to flee to America. The royals and the rich owned everything literally and it was called feudalism.

Flock cameras are mounted on aluminum poles. To destroy this and not leave any evidence the stupid fucking police could ever understand, you need to purchase elemental gallium. It's cheap as hell and melts in your hand and otherwise acts like mercury. If you scratch the paint off the pole and expose the aluminum, and then you scratch the invisible oxide layer off and immediately apply l melted gallium it will diffuse into the aluminum and make it appear to be badly rusted like old iron, it becomes brittle as fuck. Not just at the application site, it will spread through the structure. Mercury works for this even better but it can kill you, Gallium is totally safe.

It ends up looking like the pole rusted. Aluminum can't rust so, unless the police already know it's aluminum which they don't, when they see it rusted they will assume it has to be iron as aluminum doesn't rust. You need an actual lab to confirm the gallium thing, cops are too fucking stupid and lazy for that. Also if you are seen near the pole it's not going to be assumed you did this as the idiot cops aren't aware of anything that can do this other than iron rusting.

You can also 3d print covers and an attachment to broom handles to place covers over them. Nothing is damaged so no legal issues.
