Spanish activists vandalize superyacht in Ibiza believed to belong to billionaire Walmart heiress
By Mitchell McCluskey, CNN (CNN) — Spanish environmental activists spray-painted a superyacht moored in Ibiza on Sunday. Activists from the environmental group Futuro Vegetal posted a video showing them standing in front of the superyacht named Kaos, holding a banner that says: “You Consume Others S...
I think billionaires are a sign that capitalism is out of control.
Yep. They are a glitch in the system. An exploitation. There's no way that any person should deserve a hundred thousand times more money than the average full time worker.
They're not a glitch, they're the natural end result. When you have an economic system that rewards those with the most money, those with the money with have the most advantages and be the most successful. Naturally, over time, money will consolidate at the top.
Of course you can impose things like regulations or taxes, but that's subverting the natural course of capitalism. You're literally doing things to prevent the system from working as designed.
Billionaires aren't a glitch of capitalism, they're a feature.
There’s no glitch, this is simply capitalism.
“Billionaires hate capitalism” as exemplified by Peter Thiel’s mantra “competition is for losers”.
I'd personally prefer the use of manure or animal dung instead of spray paint as the former is a bit more natural and should not create any issue to the environment.
Furthermore, if used in the right quantity and of the right quality manure can permanently stick to a porous surface thus rendering the entire yatch, car, jet, helicopter or transport mean completely unusable for a very long time. For this application I'd suggest the use of carnivore ejections as these are usually far more unbearable than those coming from herbivores.
Anyway, keep up the good fight!!
Thank you, FabioTNO, for providing much-needed insight on the topic of fecal adhesion and permanence.
You seem to know your shit.
Lol, they might be a bit dad-joke like but I find these wordplays very funny.
Thanks for the laugh!
I'd be more inclined to use road marking paint (the really thick stuff you boil to prepare) catapulted onto the deck. Or just burn it down.
Permanent damage is the only language they understand.
I don't think yachts and helicopters are made up of porous surfaces, quite the opposite. Except for fabric parts of course
It is a ship. You can easily spray off manure and it will find its way to the bilge.
Semtex
More of this, please.
Instead of blocking highways I'd love to see more rich people get their shit fucked up.
Keep up the good fight!!
Superyachts are an insult.
Even more insulting is that this person is an "heir" to the money. Fuck them. Inheritance tax should be very, very high.
The only single argument I ever once heard against the inheritance tax being really high that I thought was worth anything: in theory if all your wealth was tied up in hard assets that can't be easily divided up you could inherit a debt. The example was a farm. Which even then it is a fixable problem for that one edge case, just make it so if it is a farm you can spread payments out instead of all at once.
Nothing more based than fucking up rich people shit.
Solidarity with orcas
This is how you protest. Not throwing tomato soup at priceless artworks.
I'm convinced that shit is a psyop.
I disagree and I am going to give you an honest and not emotionally charged reply. Protesting by vandalizing yachts disincentivizes them from spending their money increasing the hoarding. They will just spend it on other ways to show their wealth instead of supporting a somewhat working-class industry. Worse yet, they will just not spend it making the situation worse. Also, it is a super obvious way to get caught and arrested and good luck proving you didn't do it. Who else was on the docks that night? In short, you made the situation worse and got arrested worsening your position and ability to impact change.
This is increasingly becoming more popular lately without actually impacting change. It is turning the average voter against these activists and their causes though.
Docks aren't well guarded in my experience and I want to see your evidence that this is impacting voting in any way.
I won't encourage anyone to do things like this but I am far from condemning it. Those mega yachts are disgusting, taking up dock space for useful ships and more polluting than a small town. All for what? So billionaires can have a dick waving contest against other ones? Meanwhile regular folks get priced out because heaven fucking forbid you want to go fishing with your buddies once a year.
Good.
I neither know nor care specifically what they were protesting or what they hoped to accomplish - I just want to see every single superyacht immediately vandalized the instant it gets close to any shore, anywhere.
I want to see billionaires made into pariahs. They should be hated - loudly and enthusiastically and universally vilified and condemned and harassed - absolutely everywhere they go, all of the time.
All billionaires are scum, without exception, and they should be treated that way, without exception.
More of this please. Remind those greedy fucks that for every one of them, there are millions of us.
Send in the Orcas!
Please sir can I has more?
If they really want to protest drill a few holes in it. Tiny ones that will take some time to notice.
Frogmen, revolt!
while i admire your spirit, this likely won't work without an extremely large amount of holes. so many holes that the water coming in is greater than the water being pumped out of the bilge. im sure bilge pumps on a superyacht are insane
Good.
🤷♂️Ribbit
Not the same Walmart heir who ran over a pedestrian and was never charged. Or the DUI collector, right?
Basado.
Fuck the Walton's.
🥳
This is some based shit.
I'm sorry nobody knows who owns this boat? It is believed to belong to someone???
Registered owner is likely a Trust with a company as the Trustee. Not an individual.
Yes I know they do these tricks to avoid paying taxes but it still sounds ridiculous
