No they don't.

Deserve to live I mean.

I will not elaborate further.

It's not our friend in the backpack.

He left his manifesto carved on the shell casings and in that discarded backpack.

Yes. At least once documented. Probably many times more.

Nope. Still not snitching. Fuck that ceo.

Will*

Will roar back.

Hell no. I hope they never find them. Just let it stand. The one who got away.

Moral. Immoral.

There's no quantifying it because the opposing classes are not equal. They have the money, police, political support, media support, the entirety of the power structure of this country.

We have numbers, and little if anything left to lose.

It always does. The lords get too greedy, and the peasants revolt.

The US has done an exceptionally good job of propaganizing that instinct out of people. But the material conditions of American Life have brought the sentiment roaring back.

Basically there are 2 paths. Either way is going to be a revolutionary upturning of the status quo. Either there will be another FDR who reins in the worst impulses of Capital. Or the citizenry will do it for them.

That or GovCo goes full authoritarian to control the population. But that has the potential to spark a civil war. After all, we have more guns than people to use them. A few massacres around the country would spark a real resistance.

I don't care if it ends well. I'm just enjoying the ride.

I'm not afraid. I have nothing to fear. When I die the entire country wont celebrate like Ewoks watching the 2nd death star explode.

I could start today and 🔫 my way through the entire fortune 500 and I'd have less blood on my hands than Brian Thompson had. (giggled at "had")

I have morals. I have empathy. For the homeless. For the destitute. The poor. The hungry. Victims of war.

For parasites like Brian Thompson I have nothing but vicious mockery and laughter. Fuck them all. May they die screaming.

Edit - hold up, I'm not done.

I am a savage. The product of my environment. An environment that has told me all my life that 30 dead kids every week or two is the price we pay for freedom. That a million dead civilians on the other side of the planet is good and just because we're the good guys. That the predatory monsters at the head of all these companies that have made life here worse year over year are the smartest and most qualified and that what they do isn't only legal, but just. That the poor don't deserve food water and shelter. It's fine if they starve. Because they didn't work hard enough or maybe they're on drugs. That corporations have no responsibility whatsoever to anyone but their shareholders. They deserve everything they can take from us. Because that's Capitalism and Capitalism is just the best. That women don't deserve self determination because of a 1700ish year old book of shitty fairytales.

So yeah. [redacted] all the ceos. All the billionaires too. Why should I care? They're just meat. Fuck em. A few more bodies on the pile. No big deal.

Edit 2 - Same country that handwaves off a goddamned genocide. Funds it, supports it, and tells me it's not a big deal. 100,000 dead civilians this year. Tells me that I can't boycott the country using MY MONEY to ethnically cleanse an entire indigenous population.

We hung the "just following orders" guys after WWII.

They weren't personally responsible for the system they perpetrated. But we hung them anyway.

Same thing here.

Or is your gripe that it came from the bottom up instead of the top down? That it was righteous fury instead of cold legality? Because the legal side has utterly failed us. Been corrupted if not outright captured. It serves them not us. Million dollar fines on billion dollar profits aren't a penalty. They're a rounding error, an operating expense. Already accounted for in the budget.

Leave people with no recourse. No justice. They'll make their own way.

I am down for it. If more of it happens I'll laugh just as hard every time.

Because fuck em. They've spent the last half century recreating The Gilded Age. If now is when the bill comes due. Good. Happy I'm alive to see it instead of just reading about it.

You know how people say history repeats or rhymes or whatever?

That rhyming scheme is a series of 4 stages. We're in the 4th one now.

Google it. Pretty interesting stuff.

Amen.

Words don't exist in English to appropriately demonstrate just how based [redacted] ceos is.

Classic trolley problem.

I have no issue with asmashasinations. If it's us or them, I choose us.

Let them turtle up. It won't save them. This is the fourth turning. And they're on the menu.

Remember when the ACA was being debated? How the biggest talking point in the media was "Death Panels"?

Health Insurance companies are literally the exact Death Panels that idiots were screaming about.

I feel like more people should make that connection.

Good. Be afraid mfers. Live in constant fear.
