Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

ah but we know who they are no? that means we can find them.
I hope your bow skills are enough to kill their armed bodyguards first.
I bet a couple dead goons would convince the rest to find safer employment. They do that job because they know there's very little risk protecting some rich asshole
During revolutionary conditions a lot of bodyguards end up, you know... taking stock of where their class interests lie, if you know what I mean.

i can learn
I hear there are ways to track their private jets...
On a completely unrelated note: Ukraine has been modding off the shelf drones for aerial recon and munitions deployment.
Most of them are paying teams of retired Navy seals to protect themselves.
Good, I like my toys durable
I don't think that particular game is hunted on the streets.
They have meticulously maintained resorts, islands, megayachts, etc for exact purpose.
It's no proper sport tho, once the staff stops protecting them, they just stand there sucking their thumbs.
But it's still fully worth it, once the kill is done & the empire (for at least a moment) falls, nature can't believe what just finally happened, etc.
tactical raids on those properties.
let's have it out.
Fire and smoke are powerful tools. Can't stay in a bunker forever if you can't pull air into it.
I mean, historically speaking un-tactical raids (pitchforks & torches) worked, however they did buy up a lot more police/military personnel since then.
pretty soon they'll have formidable robots to replace the unloyal labor.
and so it begins
Sure would be a shame if someone pointed a big fuck-off electromagnet in that direction eh
I just rewatched some Hawkeye episodes. I'm down with this. brb got to make some more special arrows.
Thank you for your important research.
The true clarity is class consciousness :3
Why would you us a bow? Range is poor, and lethality is also low, esp. with the access the the ultra-wealthy have to medicine. When you hunt deer with a bow, you can usually expect to have to follow a blood trail, as it's rarely an instant drop.
Use a .300 Winchester magnum from 1000 yards; at that distance, you still have about 850 foot-pounds of energy, which is roughly double a 9mm at point black range. With the right ammo, that's more than enough to get the job done. You probably want a combined mechanical and ammunition accuracy of about .5 MOA range though, so that you have deviation of less than 6" at that range. It's a challenging shot, but it's definitely doable if you know your holds and can call the wind.
Bows can be roughly created from easily available materials, making it impossible to ban the ownership of.

Because it'll probably hurt more.
ah yes, the life i yearn for
I always fall asleep thinking of that scene in dark Knight rises where people are raiding the rich homes. Lovely
But what are you going to eat once you run out of rich people?
the food that i bought/exchanged from my local farmer for a fair price
And what are you going to pay him with?
Rolexes
if money is not existent at this point, i will, as mentioned in my original comment, exchange it for something else, be it other goods, or my services as a mechanic, electrician, metal worker, or IT-support (yes i know, kind of an outlier)
If you think a complex, modern society can be run on barter trade, I have some bad news for you.
well then, prove me wrong
No complex society has ever been run without money. While that's no proof, that is impossible, I don't care to be part of this particular social experiment.

I would like to point out that this is just what robin hood is
I'm not against but I feel like we have to establish boundaries. Like how rich is rich game? Is a weathy dude huntable? What about people that won the lotery? I Imagine billionaires are the better target right?!
As with any hunt, the biggest ones are the most impressive. Nobody's going to commend you for taking down a scrawny one when there are billion point bucks out there.

I don't know. Personally I'm a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).
Now I need to see a photo shop of a Post brand cereal named Nut Clarity, with picture of fuzzy almonds floating in milk.
But the clarity is getting shot in self defense
