You don’t have to hate them to put the millstone on them, just to acknowledge that it’s been earned and make the placement.
There may be ways back even after that judgment, but the type of Bill Gates is not going to take them.
For an example of this concept, The Green Mile shows it quite beautifully, except with an innocent man. They falsely proved he earned it, and the conviction was given in tragic love. A righteous conviction may also be given in love. We can’t just look at the one man when giving it either, but we also have to look at his victims and who he might continue to oppress, who have to be loved, too.
Of course all this is assuming that actual humans with actual souls get back in charge of the courts of JustUs…
I would suggest hate the sin, love the sinner...
That said, there are some that need a millstone....
Yes, rope for me. cheap, efficient, and quick.
