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.

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.

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.

[email protected]

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

[email protected]

That's not mutually exclusive with my point. So what?

[email protected]

Any repercussions for mass social murderers is a positive change, you're whooshing the point majorly that shit doesn't work as is. You seem to be happy with the current situation, which is about as tone deaf as can possibly be in this era. Your ad homs aren't doing your virtuous warrior persona any favors either. Cringe.

Engywuck

Shut up, idiot. Stop bothering me, if you can't use your small brain. I've lost interest in talking to retards ages ago.

How do you elect such a candidate in the US when the whole election system is controlled by the people who are the problem? Bernie was pretty moderate, fairly popular and they still ditched him from the elections twice. And to solve the problem the elected politicians have to be way more progressive than Bernie.
