This isn’t going to stop until the rich are afraid.
In case you’re wondering why fascism is on the rise, it’s seen by the wealthy as a safe way to manage populist rage; get people angry about out- groups and they’ll ignore the rich picking their pockets.
The wealthy don’t think they’re a line in Niemoller’s poem.
The problem is, if they’re afraid they have the resources to do something about it. That much wealth can buy a lot of private armies. It also buys a lot of lobbyists.
It takes more thought and planning then reacting with emotion against them. That feeds their goals just fine.
It takes emotion to make rash decisions based on reactionary feelings.
If you only do things because it feels right instead of what you’ve thought through and understood as a rational course if action… you’re doing the same thing as those who storm capital buildings cause an orange man told them to.
Ok, start killing them then. Make them afraid. Kill their kids and their families. Nothing short of that happening to hundreds of them literally overnight will stop their greed from killing the earth.

Emotion and belief is a start. The first step doesn’t need to be to the end of the game, it’s just a first step.
The rich need to fear the masses, until they fear, they will continue to hoard.
It takes cooperation and organization to combat this. It takes emotion and rhetoric to start that.

What do you think they’re implying we do here? Why are you calling it a rash decision based on reactionary feelings?
Projection maybe? 🤷♀️
