[EDIT] Inb4 more people try to suggest that I’m mourning the loss of this scumbag capitalist fuck: No, I’m not sad he’s dead. No, I don’t think corporate murder is acceptable and no, I would not ever rat to police if I knew the shooter and yes, I believe the punishment fits the crimes he’s committed against untold thousands of people. THAT SAID…

I’m not down with vigilante murder or anything because it seems like the slipperiest of slopes toward chaos, but what other option is there in a situation where someone seeks to make an impact in this way? You can’t just beat up evil CEOs and let them go back to work. It would be naïve to expect them to change their ways when faced with consequences for their actions and then promptly let go. It just seems like the chances that it emboldens their penchant for exploitative behaviour and disdain for people in need are too high.

We’re just born into and strapped to this capitalist ride and expected to sit quiet and make these leeches their billions. How else can this cancerous greed possibly be dealt with? Is vigilante murder the only effective option? Honest questions. I’m terribly conflicted and I’m genuinely curious what more reasonable and intelligent minds than mine think about this because I can’t think of an alternative to murder in this case.

Ideally, we wouldn’t have to resort to vigilante killings to level the playing field but I 100% understand that we don’t live in a society where the rich will ever give a fuck about the rest of us or would ever sacrifice their power over us in the name of goodwill.

      So the election system is broken and anti-democratic? Does that mean the jan 6 rioters where right to attack the capitol? US is going to shit, and Americans citizens are responsible for it. 77 millions voted for Epstein’s closets friend, twice, they know exactly what they were getting.

        Us was never a democracy.

        It found by slaver class turned into oligarchy during the industrial revolution.

        Post ww2 white middle class was a mistake that ruling class is fixing as speak speak.

        You are right we are responsible for this but the population is not quite ripe to fix it.

        Although whoever denied ceo’ claim to life is sending a message to the paeasite class.

        They will retaliate tho

          Well if you guys are ready for a social revolution, I will be happy to support it (I’m not a US citizen). Unfortunately I’ve seen too much stupidity not to be cynical about the chance of it happening.
