lemmings regularly make jokes about slaughtering the enemies of the commie cult

of course it's just a joke and not the a few rungs down the radicalization pipeline

the murderous commie cult hiding in plain sight

I mean...I'm not even really close to being a commie and I can get on board with this. The ultra rich are structural failures of society.

And also every day we allow multi-millionaires to exist is another real day with real suffering and real deaths that are unnecessary and preventable.

People will bemoan the killing of a health insurance CEO but shake their fists and forgive the systemic pain those people cause because it's less tangible. The human brain wasn't built to comprehend large systems and the reality is a hundred dead billionaires would save millions of lives - and they could choose to do it themselves and save their lives if they wanted to. At literally any point. That's the central difference between what I'd consider the radical right and the radical left - the "right" want blood for blood's sake and they want it inflicted on people based on immutable characteristics. The "left" want only the pain necessary to prevent the mass suffering of the world, and only to those people who abuse their power and privilege and who choose to not do the right thing.
