If you make having neighbors painful don't be surprised when "the rich" stop collaborating and instead work to eliminate them like you're seeing everywhere in the post millennial US now.


I'm not sure what this subthread has to do with having neighbors?

But regardless, "if you try to make the rich actually participate in and contribute to society, don't be surprised if they try to destroy society instead" is exactly the kind of threat that supports the idea that we should, instead, make it impossible to be rich enough to carry that threat out.

Having a functioning and mutually beneficial society is much, much more important than letting outlandishly rich selfish people stay rich.
