Definitely one of those ideas that would 100% work in theory but never in practice. The concept of "voting with your dollar" is still a powerful tool because it doesn't need to be complete, just enough to hurt the industry.

Great answer. I'm getting strong Thoreau Civil Disobedience vibes.

Wait, who is deleting posts? Edit: Nevermind, it's the lemmy.world mods.

So true. And a national change in perspective is definitely achievable.

Thank you for a thought-out response.

Since force is a clear crowd favorite: What would that look like? Angry mod surrounds home of billionaire and guillotines them on their lawn? According to Forbes there are currently 735 billionaires. That might take some time.

Wouldn't the wealth necessarily just be distributed to their heirs?
