[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.
Doubt this is an honest question. The obvious answer is to stop being a radical, help yourself, get to work, and build something nice.
I think this reasoning is why everyone is in this current situation.
It’s just a constant stream of pushing goal posts. Before you know it, you have a dictator running the country and they’re sending immigrants (or previously Jewish people) to be killed en masse.
I know that’s a very harsh comparison, but it all starts with people accepting small changes.
Question everything your government is doing, even if you agree with it. (Obviously not to the point of conspiracy theories haha)
Vigilantes are born from years of indoctrination of bad ideology like what you’ll find here in this thread, people who condone and even praise the violence. Who’s accepting small changes toward a slippery slope now?
That’s the thing… Most people do not have opportunities for this because of a parasitic owner regime is sucking everybody dry but top 10-20% of larpers who enable them
In fact most people do have the opportunity to go to work and help themselves.
to work poverty wages
life is beautiful, my booma
Doubt you’ve reasoned yourself into that opinion.
