“Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.
God, they’re soooo close…
A community to post anything related to Luigi Mangione.
Please respect Lemmy.world ToS. Don't plot who should be murdered next in this community.

That's the executives job, is to be the public face you blame when in reality they're just the generals and colonels appointed by the shareholders.
Yes. They’re already disposable by design. CEOs with controlling stake are rare precisely because appointing majority stakeholders to run the company forfeits the advantage of liability encapsulation.
There are exceptions, of course, such as founders retained for their institutional knowledge and track record, but these are generally exclusive to younger corporations.
We're already in a class war. They're winning.
They only call it a class war when poor people fight back.
Without fighting back its just oppression
This might seem tangentially unrelatied, but I remember a conversation from earlier this week where a group of coworkers started talking about Taylor Swift and her upcoming marriage
Steeped in internet culture, I thought it was common knowledge that she is a narcissistic piece of shit, and that her marriage is at best a cynical ploy to stay relevant and at worst a sincere emotional attempt to conform to the standards of feminity. The consensus in my community is also that Kelsey is absolutely not into her at all, is probably cheating on her already, and the marriage is doomed, and G*d have mercy on the soul of whatever child is born from that union rf it ever receives one.
So I blurt out, "I wonder what the odds are on her divorcing?"
And everyone stopped talking to stare at me, like, "What an awful thing to say," before continuing to talk, unaware that the conversation they were having was the result of millions of dollars worth of PR, and very much like Taylor Swift is a highly relatable human being and not a captalist husk of humanity.
So it's not a class war yet, more like an unresisted occupation of zombieland.
Cops warn CEO bodyguards that ~~Luigi Mangione Fever~~ corporate f*cking greed could spark class war.
"Spark" class war?
Some people exploiting and killing the less fortunate among us for decades is not an already ongoing class war then. Alright, probably because no one fights back. It has been a massacre from one side so far.
Cops admit we have a classist system
Spark?
Pretty sure he's a symptom of something that's been ongoing for a very long time now.
The police later told me the pilot light might have gone out letting out a little bit of gas. That gas could have slowly filled the condo. 1700 square feet with high ceilings. for days and days.
How dare those unwashed plebes fight back in the class war we've been fighting against them since forever?
Yeah? And?
“Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.
Because a lot of them are caused by the influence of wealthy corporate executives. They're legally bound to bring in profits for shareholders, but that doesn't mean they have to do it by being scumbag human beings, lesser than insects.
By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many.
What do they mean "effectively"??
This IS dedicating public resources to ensuring the safety of the wealthy view, and is metaphorically and literally at the expense of the many.
The “Quarterly Executive Threat Watch” bulletin warned corporate bodyguards to switch up the daily routines of execs, limit information on public engagements, and remove bosses’ personal information from the web. The report says bosses should “remain vigilant of lone offenders with personal grievances.”
“Following the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the current political climate, there is a heightened threat environment surrounding corporate executives,” the report says. “Online glorification of the murder of Brian Thompson and calls for violence are still apparent and further create a risk for a lone offender attack.”
Honestly, I don't think it's wrong to let these scumbags who chose money over humanity live in constant paranoia that the one of the many they've screwed over will eventually come out to get them.
If they wanted to live normal lives, they could have chosen a different, more ethical path.
Love how these public servants who have no obligation protect us yet are writing up reports for these particular individuals.
Abolish the police.
The struggle has always been and will always be vertical, between the haves and the have-nots. Do not let them divide us horizontally based on political affiliation, identity, race, or religion, it is a trap. While people are busy infighting, they fail to look up. Divide and conquer remains the oldest trick in the book.
As they say, every accusation is a confession. The cops would do it. They would go shoot health care CEOs if they got fucked the way many Americans get fucked every day.
They know the health care CEOs are evil pieces of shit, but they don't give a fuck as long as they don't get fucked over personally... Otherwise, the advice would be, "Tell your bosses to stop being evil pieces of shit, FFS."
The cops would do it. They would go shoot health care CEOs
Cops will never be on the people's side in any situation. The one cop who entered Uvalde did it because his wife and kid were there. And the cops let him go in while holding back the parents of all the other kids, many of which were killed. Thats US cops in a nutshell-- every time, every situation.
“challenges faced by the middle and lower classes”
Who's creating these challenges? Maybe don't start shit if you don't want to deal with the consequences.
It’s not Luigi Mangione fever it’s the consequences of the rampant legalization of political corruption and pedophile parasite classes criminal behavior. It’s called accountability
good. i hope every millionaire-billionaire-trillionaire is kept awake at night out of fear.
Eh, you can "earn" a million dollars ethically. Let's keep anger focussed on the correct class'
They'll just hide in their gated communities, islands and private transportation.
Citizens united ruling was over 20 years ago. Luigi was on the front lines of an ongoing conflict.
Don't worry about it, you'll be fine. Feel free to lower your guard and relax. Especially in public. You'll be totally safe.
The billionaires squeezing the populous tighter and tighter caused the class war. Luigi is just one of the matches that will light the flame, if they continue to squeeze tighter.
If CEO's are allowed to bleed poor people dry, why not the other way around? If you bring pain and misery, illness and death onto others, maybe you deserve the same.
Sounds like a ceo problem, not a problem with the public at large.
So much that they stopped reporting on warehouse fires. They are still happening.
Promise?
Oh please, class war started a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with weegee.
Class war has not started, it's been one sided forever. The other side has been distracted by race wars in order to not fight back.
This is the police trying to suck up to CEOs for a lucrative collaboration. The good old "you protect us we protect you" deal.
We should be so lucky.
One can hope.
Fingers crossed
1789 France? The folks that are not in the upper class, should remove their stupid thin blue line flag BS, because the police are going to take it out on the middle and lower classes. US history offers plenty of examples.
Yes.
Wild to think a class war was started by the green guy 2nd player was always stuck as.
Good news ?
Guilty of being based.
