I agree about the gained consciousness, that's a good thing. On the other hand, being I'm firmly against death sentence (even with a trial), what I don't agree with is homicide. That's not justice. It's just vengeance. And it's a very dangerous slippery slope.

So how do you suggest to solve the situation when there are a lot of people who should be in jail or worse but they are rich so the government justice system does not work for them? In the lifetime of one person who's life was destroyed by the said evil person.

Elect representatives and use non-violent acts to shape public perception so the law is changed. If it is legal and he isn't actively like murdering/torturing people I don't think you can really argue he should be imprisoned. Just my take. Also, there are no "good people" and "bad people". Its not black and white.

Killing them, of course. /s

Go head, buy a rifle and start your vengeance. Don't wait for others to do it, if you're so brave (spoiler: you're not and you're just talking out of your ass).

Don't forget you wouldn't even be privileged to have this conversation with the billionaires who conspire to rob and then kill us every single day. The coward talking out of their ass is the one who looks at a broken power structure and can only muster a meek, "not like this." Save your speeches for those doing the real killing.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee -4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, man, whatever. This conversation is not interesting anymore.

People like you are dangerous to those of us actually trying to make a positive change. You’d sell out your fellow man to the elites if push came to shove and we can sense that cowardice in you. Don’t expect us to be stoked about traitors. If you don’t want to help then at least get out of the fucking way.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

Oh, fuck off, moron. If you think that homicide is positive change, then you values are severely off. Cowardice... LOL, please stop the cringe. Idiot.

[-] timestatic@feddit.org -3 points 15 hours ago

Yet again claiming moral righteousness while promoting murder. Positive change will come through democratic and legislative change. Violence leads to chaos and disturbance. When people like you come to power they use everything to undermine and disrupt critics. How can you label a person a traitor simply for disagreeing with violence? Every single country that became communist has just created a new elite and ruling class. Don't pretend you're the good one.

Seems like the comment writes itself

Homicide is wrong and it can be a slippery slope.

However, the system for dealing with monopolies/oligopolies is broken. Regulatory capture has occurred. The rich shifted taxes to the poor. And a Fortune 8 company continues to kill thousands of Americans and make massive profits from doing so.

The Paradox of Intolerance tells us that letting this continue will only result in the deaths of thousands more Americans. Tolerating this behavior results in more 1000x more American deaths and inspires others to profit off the pain, misery, and death of our fellow citizens.
