8 billion people vs. 3000 billionaires: Who would win?

An individual with a net worth of “just” $1b can afford to spend upwards of $50m per year on privacy and security, all while continuing to live a lavish lifestyle of excess and see their net worth continue to grow.

That’s more than the annual US household income being spent on a daily basis.

Now consider that the top 10 billionaires have more than 140x that amount.

Yes, they are made of flesh & blood, and are susceptible to all of the same maladies as you or I — but especially post Luigi, they are shoring up their defences to the point that even a motivated individual would have just as much chance of becoming a billionaire as they are to getting to one.

I would hope to be proven wrong, and to see a true working class uprising against them in my lifetime - but alas, I think they are too effective at keeping us arguing against ourselves to ever pose a serious risk to their hegemony.

they win because they throw money at enough ppl to build a wall of ppl to protect them

Its not that. Its the fact that these people hsve entire services dedicated to protecting their lifestyle and security.

And the public security is also geared to disproportionately protect them as well.

Short answer. The elite have private security of their own. And they are allied with rich politicians who control the police and military. They've got a shitload of guns at their disposal.

they shit, they piss, they bleed

Sometimes more than one of those things simultaneously!
