The human heart has not changed since we first climbed out of the trees.
Throughout the history of the human race, only one thing has been able to punish the elites of any society.
Not laws. They write the laws.
Torches and pitchforks in the hands of a determined and vocal populace.
This is what has always been required.
Because it’s the rich/elite making the rules. The guy that killed the insurance exec will be punished, yet the same execs that cause the deaths of tens of thousands from stringing out claims, flat denying legitimate claims, etc are given bonuses.
Also, the media that should be advocating change is controlled by the same rich/elite.
Eg. Epstein, arrested and killed. Maxwell arrested and jailed. Weinstein, arrested and jailed. Some of the rich do eventually get punished, but very few. Usually it’s not just the fact that they are rich, it’s what they know that keeps them out of jail.
the only time rich people got punished was when they screwed other rich folks (Eliz Theranos, Madoff, SBF….). nobody cares when rich folks screw poor people though, Sackler family. i am sure there are tons more but Sackler is def top of the list.
This state is what it was like throughout most of history.
The post war period of 1945-70 was unique in that labour was scarce and the very rich were subdued into paying for the rebuilding of society because they basically caused a lot of the war.
The other question is how many motivated friends does Luigi have? This is not advocacy but observation that there is a broad level of motivation changing.

Because they’re rich homie. They’re in bed with the rule makers
Punishment for what?
The rich do have more money to throw at the court system, but sometimes even rich people get found guilty of crimes.
When they commit crimes they do sometimes get punished.
Money is power. Power is money.

Bad press is legal.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”.

Cuz usually it’s during revolutions where the rich and powerful hets kicked
laws simply dont apply to the rich.

We just need to organise again.

Most rich people don’t need to do illegal shit.
And if they do, they can afford lawyers.
Being rich isn’t a crime.
What sort of punishment are you thinking?
I’m still not clear. Punish them for what?
Because they have too many slimy ways of getting out of their crimes legally
