You posting that all the time. You really really just want to see some murder, right?
Billionaires aren't people, doesn't count as murder
Let's rephrase this as "billionaires are so much people, as the rest of the people are for them"
Dehumanizing the enemy is the first step to fascism, or was it the third? Ah well... Its our fashism not theirs so that makes that OK now.
No tolerance for intolerance
It is not tolerant to lock somebody up instead of killing them.
Go ahead and lock them up. We're all watching.
Yeah i know you are just watching. Because if enough people get off their assess, you just might not enable the billionaire class.
They enable themselves by buying all the politicians they can.
We just want to make sure they can't ever do that again.
And you/we should. But killing is not only the most simpleminded solution but also calling for that gives them any legal reason to have you locked up. You can legally call for locking them up and taxing the shit out of them without problems. You can always vote against and protest the buying of politicians.
Say the guy who defended billionaires interest the whole thread…
They're scum
They nave no human traits
No empathy
No common sense
No sense of community
No basic, barebones social skills
No sense of justice
No desire to make the world a better place
Dehumanizing the enemy is a Nazi strategy. Are you a Nazi? Left wing murder is still murder you know?
Locking people up is also a Nazi strategy, so are you a Nazi?
Well... The Nazis would have made them work gassed them. I'm against that. I am German though, so my ancestors probably were at least in part Nazis.
For most billionaire CEOs, it would be closer to killing a serial killer. Still technically a crime, but most people wouldn't be upset about it. Especially considering that their decisions often kill more people than the average serial killer.
And no one would want to do that if the billionaires weren't on a quest to destroy society and the planet for a bigger high score.
There just isn't a way to amass that much wealth without harming a lot of people in the process.
So many upvotes for Lynch mobbing somebody instead of applying you know the law and protecting the people instead of focusing on murdering somebody to feel better. I bet your mommy is real proud of you. ;)
When was the last time a billionaire was actually punished in the US for flagrant disregard for the law?
That's the problem. These people are above the law.
That i can agree with. Nobody should be above the law.
Then why did you suggest
Do billionaires ever get punished for crimes? Apart from Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire who managed a chidren raping ring apparently consisting of only 3 people: himself, his partner, and Prince Andrew, and no one else, based on current investigations and due process...
Wilhoit's law:
Law doesn't equal justice or protection for the average US citizen. If you're wealthy enough you can buy your way around the law in the US.
This is like expecting the king to persecute themselves in medieval times.
It's not even conjecture but actually proven - multiple times, even including through a scientific journal - that the ultra wealthy are the ones writing the law in the USA. Americans wouldn't see justice through the legal system. Heck their president has violated the law multiple times and gotten virtually nothing. That's not counting all the others who have broken the law and received no or virtually no punishment, like Elon Musk.
I'm not the person you're responding to, but if I did still live in the USA, my parents would completely understand, since they're from El Salvador originally and had to leave when the government there started the civil war and called the USA for backup in murdering people who just wanted to be paid enough to eat or be worked to death in the fields like one of my uncle's.
So good for you that you've lived such a cushy pampered life that you can even think the way you do. And pray that the building anger there, or wherever you may be, never boils over because of rising injustice. Because asshats like you will be included in the fires that break out. And unlike those who've suffered, you're nothing more than a weak sapling when hard times come, and your survival then will have been by chance if you are so lucky.
So go ahead, egg those people on. They're the ones more likely to be just fine when hell breaks loose. You only encourage your own misery when you try to push them further. Even places like Russia are starting to see their dues come in, so not even being a paid troll will be safe for long. Righteous fury is slow to build but impossible to stop once it explodes.
I'm not saying there is no fury or that violence might be unavoidable. But I'm saying it should be avoided if possible and that starts with calling for justice, not murder.
I don't care how luxurious they live as long as society is protected from them. Justice is not about revenge but about protection of the populous.
The law protects these people while condemning petty thieves and desperate poverty.
There is no legal justice coming for these people, because they are so powerful that they are figuratively in the room when the laws are written. Many people (myself included) are now at the point that they can no longer expect this justice, because they've been calling for it, fruitlessly, for the entirety of their adult lives. Calls for violence, like this one, are what naturally happens when a population has inevitably lost all faith in the systems of power to deliver equality or fairness. These are desperate times, calling for desperate measures.
While I don't want the guillotine or any other lethal punishment to be used in anger, I realise that it might happen if things continue this way. We've already seen one of these financially obese people assassinated recently. And I do hope that CEO has the fear of god put in him. It might do him some good.
silly goose, it's not like they're actually going to guillotine him as trump rioters tried to hang mike pence.
"But they would do it, so its right if I would do it".
"Violence is not a bad thing as long as it happens to the right people / not my people"
I do want to see his head rolling. As history has taught us death of evil doers is good for society in general.
"Regressing to murder is good for society"... Yes let us undo a few thousand years of societal progress and return to murdering each other. Let's start with political extremists calling for rolling heads. ;)
Dear, it still happens. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." is not even a point of discussion but a statement of a fact. Your so called thousands of years is less than a year from revolution in Nepal and around 40 years of fall of USSR in Europe; not to mention the regression is caused by oligarchs who have transformed US into a competitive authoritarianism. They must learn fear before civil war becomes the only remaining option.
I'm not saying violence might be unavoidable or might not happen. I'm saying call for justice, not for violence.
That would be a stupid thing to do for practical reasons.
You're completely ignoring the fact that many billionaire CEOs (particularly in health insurance) are responsible for the deaths of millions of people.
If there is someone going around genociding people, would you still refuse to do anything besides say "murder is bad"? That is the scale we're talking about here.
And no, this isn't hyperbole. Peter Thiel wants to see the majority of humanity die.
I'm not ignoring that. I'm saying they shouldn't be murdered for that. I'm saying they need to be incarcerated like any serial killer and never go free again.
You know that won't happen.
You know they're above the law.
They use their money to change the law for their benefit.
So they should not be surprised if people reject these laws when it comes to dealing with them.
OP: doesn't like one specific group of people who do one specific thing.
Your stupid ass: yOu JuSt WaNt To SeE mUrDeR
I know reading is hard (for you) but damn
"Let's ignore the ten foot guillotine in that picture and focus on anything the only thing that thing is good for. And say he is not calling for that because it makes me feel good to call for violence"
I don't think it's murderer if they attack first. At least in the states that's considered self-defense or stand your ground.
There are strict legal definitions for murder and none of them qualify, so that's not a valid argument. Some night qualify as negligent manslaughter and they should be locked up for that. Not murdered. Murder is bad mkay?
No, it's reminding those without an internal morality that there are consequences for decisions that harm others.
It's really no different than any religion threatening their believers with a terrible afterlife for being bad. Similar to reminding a Christian that their actions are leading them towards eternal damnation, according to their own beliefs.
These fucks don't have empathy, they're sociopaths, that's how they became a CEO, crushing everyone else on their way up the corporate ladder and not caring about it.
Did you just call religiona threatening their followers a good thing?
Bro every time I see your name come up it’s downvotes
Gotta change it to "Yesmad"
Because exposing people to different opinions doesn't make me popular? Imagine a social media bubble where not murdering people but instead locking them up is an unpopular opinion.... If it wasn't called Lemmy you might think it was a religious nuthouse.
Yes, we definitely needed a billionaire's defender here, because we don't see enough of their point of view in all the medias they bought.
"Strictly follow the law. We're all equal. And trust that we spent literally millions to write them so that we'd make them completely fair and not ridiculously imbalanced in our favor!"
Yeah well, stop calling for murder and my popularity will skyrocket. ;)
Do you not...?
