Murder is an unjustified killing. Killing somebody who is socially murdering people is a form of self defence and is thus not murder. Don’t try and change my mind.

The same people that will justify the murdering of a CEO are the same people that will lose their minds at the first sign of any justification of capital punishment. Apparently a prison can’t put a man to death for committing crimes, but a kid on the street with a gun can. Essentially: A murderer is only a criminal if their victim is someone they don’t like

There was someone in a comment I read yesterday that was talking about their unwritten instance rules stating that calling for the death of people they don’t like is okay, it calling for the death of leftists is against the rules.

This is how it is around here.

Even the concept of nuance is tempered with bias.

My younger brother. He is entirely sold on billionaire philanthropy and believes Elon is a visionary genius that constantly finds ways to upturn the status quo.

He also thinks Jeff Bezos is a nice guy because he's so nice in interviews.

Who is worse? Is a mass murderer deserving to have their life as they know it impacted negatively? Would you be satisfied by another case trying to hold a powerful person accountable so that they can be given a slap on the wrist? That's the alternative for Brian, except not even, because social murder is legal. You can't let a system deal with the outcomes if the system makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Change the system, but don't be surprised when people get creative about the ways to change it if they have no power to enact that change at all.

And from you link I’ll share where this was debunked:

Was having ~30 salaried NYPD personnel to escort one dude really a good use of budget? - Lemmy.World

We will see what we want to see. For people who want to see those that hurt people held accountable, you sure to like to share false narratives to elevate your point.

This only hurts it.

Is public healthcare actually made illegal by the supreme court?

No, Citizens United is the effective legalization of public bribery, masked as "political donations".

The problem is that you're never going to get that grassroots movement built up. The healthcare companies rake in billions, they'll happily spend that to ensure they can keep existing. And other billionaire corporations will join in too, because why risk a party willing to deal with healtcare companies getting power? What else will that party do that could harm their precious profits?

They'll invest billions to primary candidates, buy media coverage, demonize their opponents or even fabricate fake negative PR. That grassroots movement would be stamped out, as you won't be able to get enough votes. That'll put a party like the GOP in charge and they will pass as many voter disenfranchisement laws, gerrymandering laws, etc... to ensure you need massive majorities to barely get 50% of the representation.

People are already pissed with the state of healthcare, so much so that they're collectively cheering for the murder of a CEO. Yet no grassroots campaign is in sight. By the time the next election rolls around American voters will already have forgotten about that CEO and will be more concerned about inflation or migration or whatever-the-fuck the media has decided to focus on.

I think by the time you get enough Americans on board with a grassroots campaign powerful enough to actually make changes, you are at such a high level of public anger a violent revolution is nearly inevitable.

How is that hypocritical? I'm sure most people would want to see the CEO serving life instead, but his ilk are not who the prisons are made for. Slavery and murder can be legal when done with policy, and rather than the state going after these villains it defends them with force.

Engywuck

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.

Threads on Lemmy are open for everyone to see, isn't that neat?

[email protected]

That's good, commendable, and necessary. But it might not be enough. I don't think we are at the point of murder yet, but we are definitely past the point of just voting.

[email protected]

Fascinating. Are they there all the time or only when you think about them? Is there a specific trigger that causes you to see them?

[email protected]

If it's not enough then there are no solutions, period.

Sockenklaus

It's not even the AfD. Most of the politic parties don't or at least didn't want to touch wealth tax.

[email protected]

Sure there is. History is littered with examples. Though a more full explanation of the solution is probably a violation of the TOS.

The difference is self defense. As stated elsewhere in this thread, we should all agree its morally acceptable to kill nazis. With them, it's either kill or be killed. If we didn't step up against them in WW2 it would have been disastrous. And with CEOs, billionaires, and other business execs it's no different. They're actively killing everyone they can as quickly as they can because it makes them a quick buck.

So ultimately it boils down to self defense.

A state however gets no self defense out of capital punishment. It instead becomes a way to silence political opponents, innocents routinely are executed, and so on. The state cannot be granted the power to kill because it will abuse it. The people eventually need to defend themselves from the state when it is granted this power.

Lol look at the upvotes and downvotes. Nobody agrees with you.

That's because most of the parties here suck.

History is littered with failed states that turned a democracy into dictatorships.

Rather than "it's not even the AfD" it should say "It's not only the AfD".
