Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
In deed. At some point, say 100 million for arguments sake. Once you accumulate that much wealth, you are taxed at 100%. You may not own, or make, anything above that number through any means. Forced retirement would also be something to think about. Giving younger generations a chance to make a life for themselves as well.
“You say that obesity is unhealthy, so you deserve to be guillotined”
What the fuck
Like, how is stating that, whether false or true, anywhere on the level of systematically exploiting and ruining people at numbers these words will never reach? How are such words alone justification enough for murder?
Killing should never be done or advocated for lightly, if at all. Life is the most fundamental human right.
The human vampire dragons of the comic walk on corpses and broken lives and still can’t hoard enough. I’ll permit an argument that the scale at which they tread even the most fundamental rights of others forfeits their own fundamental rights.
But saying a few words is nowhere near the same level of travesty. We can argue whether they hurt the dignity of others (I don’t think they do) or are untrue (I don’t think they are), but to justify killing for them is unhinged. Please get your moral compass checked.
There is nothing wrong with being fat. Saying that wealth hoarding is like being fat is calling it normal and good, even if one is too stupid to understand that simple fact.
Obesity isn’t just being chubby. It’s a morbid condition detrimental to joints, spine, liver, heart and other comorbidities. It places a strain both on healthcare systems and on accommodation efforts. It’s in everyone’s interest, including the patient’s, to remedy that issue and help them attain a less unhealthy weight.
You are right that the condition alone doesn’t diminish the worth of the afflicted as people. What makes the financial obesity of our comparison so despicable is that it stems from ravenous gluttony at the expense of others. I could see a point that this qualifier should be spelled out, even though I think it’s implicity clear to most participants from the general context of the discussion.
But obesity as a condition is neither normal nor good, neither for the patient nor for the system obliged to accommodate them.
You’re fat, aren’t you? That’s why you think there’s nothing wrong with blocking all your arteries & suffocating all your internal organs, because it happened so slowly that you’ve become accustomed to it. And you can’t stop eating because you’re insatiable.
Like insatiable billionaires hoarding wealth.
But don’t get confused now, because fatness is not wealth. Fatness is the opposite of wealth. Working hard to eat nutritiously & moderately & getting plenty of daily exercise for a fit hard body that looks great naked is the corporeal manifestation of wealth.

Society as a whole, would flourish.

Calling it “financial obesity” makes it sound innocuous or even good. Wealth hoarding is treason.
This is either slop from a refried prompt, or an act of Olympic calibre mental gymnastics.
Obesity is always a threat to the health of any system where the term is invoked. Its tolerance and normalisation is functionally suicidal.
You deserve the exact same fate as the billionaires in this comic.

So is obesity, to the body. It’s the perfect metaphor if people ignore it as innocuous.

Being obese is not shameful but it is not okay and should be adressed

There is a difference between fat and obese.
