is this how we should kill rich people? one of the most based moments in human history
Zamn! The Parthians were down for TLD? Based.
>>17982649Why do people hate the rich so much?
>>17982680Because, for rich people, having a better life than everyone else isn't enough, they also have to actively make life worse for others. If every rich person was a Ford, they would be loved and worshiped instead of hated.
>>17982680>dude, unions are cringe!>dude, salary increases are cringe>dude, just work harder you'll get a house eventuallythere's nothing to like about them
>>17982699Yeah but why don't people also hate beautiful people, men with big dicks, people who have sex, people with stable marriages, etc.? Why does only wealth invite hatred?
>>17982704Because none of those other groups of people that you listed actively make an effort to make life worse for everyone else. You think that people hate the rich out of envy, but that's not the case. People hate the rich because they purposely ruin society for everyone else.
>>17982707If that were true people would also hate the poor. The poor breed recklessly, commit crime, create slums, etc.
>>17982704>Yeah but why don't people also hate beautiful people, men with big dicks, people who have sexwe do
>>17982712the poor do all of those things because they are reduced to a primal state as capital is hoarded more and more by a very small population of people.they didn't wake up and choose to be picking trash from the garbage can to make money for their next high. that's just all there is to do when you're past your prime and have no support
>>17982712That's not really a "the poor" problem, that's more of an "urban youth" problem, and most people do hate those. Poor people who come from rural poverty tend to be moral and hardworking.
>>17982649Iirc there is no evidence Crassus was killed in that manner. However Manius Aquillius was killed that way.>Aquillius was eventually executed by Mithridates by having molten gold poured down his throat.[7] The method of execution became famous and, according to some unreliable accounts,[8] was repeated by Parthian contemporaries to kill Marcus Licinius Crassus who was at the time the richest man in Rome and a member of the First Triumvirate.[7]
>>17982727>Aquillius's father, the elder Manius Aquillius, was a former Roman governor of Pergamon and was hated for the egregious taxes that he imposedclassic romejeet moment, shame they didn't get the father but sometimes you just have to make do
>>17982727holy shit, you are telling me this might have happened 2 times? based
>>17982680I hate the merchant class, the ultra rich -international- merchant class, they are unironically evil, not because tbey want to but because they have to, and at that level they don't know what's evil anymore. Both communists and fascists know this very well, and before the modern era most people was very aware if this fact
>>17982680Maybe the fact that many of them are immoral sociopaths who literally subvert their own countries with globalism and mass immigration?
>>17982680
>>17982935>Hates environmental destruction>Lives a lifestyle solely dependent on itHippies are retarded
>>17982742it really is astonishing the republic lasted as long as it did>entire system revolves around vote buying, whoever can spend the most money on the election will win>even the most common people expect to be given bribes on election day before casting their votes>the only way to get elected is to go massively into debt to finance your bribes>after you are elected following your term you get the right to govern a province where you will have free reign to steal anything not bolted down to pay back your creditorsmeanwhile>taxes are collected by private contractors not the government who buy the right to collect taxes from the senate by being the highest bidder>once you've bought the right to collect taxes your payment goes to the roman treasury and any "taxes" you manage to collect in the province are yours to keepwho the fuck thought this was a way to run things?
>>17982940you just did the meme. I hope you did this on purpose.
>>17982951That meme doesn't make any sense because you're not improving the system. You're a luddite that wants to kill off humanity with Malthusian non-sense. Even the Soviets and Chinese think you're a retarded hippe degenerate.
>>17982935>Save the PLA-ACKShut the fuck up retard. I need gasoline.
>>17982962>destroys the environment for monetary gain>oh shit we needed that>guess I'll die now
>>17982980>We just destroy the environment and nothing else>We totally don't need housing, electricity, gasoline, public sanitation, train tracks, bridges, or roads or hospitals Historically, human life expectancy was lower because of what you're advocating for. You unironically are for mass death.
>>17982989if its a choice between having a lower standard of living in a sustainable manner and human extinction I will take the former. BTW you are engaging in some serious strawmanning here, putting things I never said into my mouth.
>>17982993No, you're just some delusional guy who beliefs that humans should just stagnant and die because you like trees. The Soviet Union literally shot people like you bro. The kind of hippie, tree hugger bullshit you're spewing does not apply in the real world.
>>17982680They actively create problems and entrench them to sell solutions.
