In Kim Stanley Robinson's dystopic novel THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE, a
heat wave kills thousands in India which calls forth a retaliatory
("terrorist") organization whose goal is to murder people responsible for
global warming and mass casualties -- of course it's "science fiction-ey"
but a lot of the corrective science in the novel is real --

This retaliatory group decides to murder every millionaire and over the
course of the book, no matter how many protective devices and locations the
rich create for themselves the avenging group (using drones) almost always
figures out how to murder them -- even in their own beds.  It's an allegory
but I wonder if anger at billionaires can transform into real retaliation
-- not individual murders but class based take downs.

We can hope and we can dream

(and of course do whatever little bits we can in the here and now)
