John Wick but he's hunting down and killing all billionaires and it's not a movie but a real guy who's super good with guns just ridding us of the very real scourge of billionaires.

All the people saying "But they'll just leave it to their kids" are really not thinking this through. You all lack vision. There's no end point all the time there are still billionaires.

Hackers who use their power for good, disabling prestige vehicles and yachts, and redistributing billionaires’ wealth…

He can take out dozens at a time with his legal bump stock.

This ruling basically voids the 1934 National Firearms Act. Gun lobbyists have basically gotten everything they’ve asked for.

the 1934 NFA was the greatest infringement.

This was the plot of the crazy cool Renato Jones from Kaare Andrews!

There's also a similar Manga called Akumetsu!

I was thinking about a fictional story in which the "billionaire killers club" banned together to fight against the extremely wealthy folks paramilitaries. Just billionaires getting increasingly paranoid and forced into situations where they're liquidated.

authorities can't understand why nobody seems to know what he looks like, unaware of the spider man train moment we all share trying to protect this hero

Just to be sure John Wick does know how to spell, I've got a lot of stock cubes, I'd hate to think he'd come after a bouillonaire like me.

You might need Jason Statham in an apron: MAN OF BROTH.

I'll take my chances on my own. I find him the most uncharismatic action star of all time.

I actually sometimes sneakily like him particularly in something bonkers like CRANK.

I didn't mind him in that Home Bargains John Wick

Well, now that the Supreme Court put bump stocks back on the street.

Filmed as a mockumentary, starring Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara.

Only problem would be, all the effing sycophants that would ALSO have to be taken out, to prevent torch-passing, as it were...

But not before he’s spent months befriending them and getting them to sign over their billions to him, which he in turn donates to several environmental causes, homeless shelters, UBI programs…

Iain Banks' Complicity is sort of like this. And Garth Ennis of The Boys and Preacher had a comic series called Goddess on a similar theme.

Very close to the plot of the Beekeeper

Okay, you've sold me. Gotta figure out how to watch that movie.

If I won the lottery, I’d build a Nautilus and go hunting mega yachts.

KSR had the Children of Kali to do this.

He's just going to make the family wealth, trust and inheritance lawyers into the next billionaire class.

John Birmingham was posting bits of a story like this in his newsletter. But it’s postapocalyptic. We need them NOW.

but they will just leave their money to their kids who will then be the next class of billionaires...but with vengeance in their heart
Avatar
Certainly diffuses feelings personal culpability for the acts much more than cheering on their deaths as the guillotine drops.

Hitman kind of does this. But is also fiction.
Avatar
Warren Buffett but his final legacy is to put all his money on bounties for billionaires. A successful hit rewards a killer with $5 million. Thousands around the globe go on the hunt. Scared, billionaires scrabble to rid themselves of their wealth.
Avatar
Yeah, because the economy - and therefore all of us - would be much better off without billionaires. Well reasoned.

This is essentially the 2016 video game Hitman and its two sequels. Although Agent 47 is more The Mechanic than John Wick.

I hope you mean this as fiction
