Both can be right. I would like Elon Musk easily killed, and believe nobody should feel bad about it. Let's face it, Billionaires are a modern day plague killing us in various ways. As such I want them executed for crimes against humanity, but might settle for every last one of their assets and a vow of poverty enforced by the public.

Not just the eyebrows, but the bank shot also had someone with a more angular face, their cheek bones looked different. In fact I thought the shooter originally from the bank picture was a woman. And was entirely surprised when they "caught" a man.

Admittedly lighting and perspective can play a huge role in making someone look different, but still, I'm not convinced Mangione was the shooter.

Actually yeah, my savings and retirement plans are getting wiped out by events beyond my control. Guess shooting a ceo, and getting put in prison, hailed as a folk hero, is a pretty damn good option compared to being on the streets when I can no longer work.

I wonder how many others will see the truth of that as time goes on.

lol

Ahh nothing like having a more informed outlook, and using that to justify your nihilism and misanthropy. A bland and useless choice, but you aren't the first, and won't be the last. What it does tell me, is your opinion doesn't belong here, and doesn't actually matter.

And you don't need money to fix those problems, money just makes it easier. Labor is ultimately what fixes those problems, always was, always will be. Money is just a lubricant, it can't actually do any work on it's own. You could, instead of falling to lazy nihilism, rally other likeminded people in your field to start fixing whatever corners of the world you can. You could organize with your neighbors or fellow citizens and aim for doing your small part.

But I'll leave you to wait for your death, since it sounds like you've already made peace with being cattle. And I know better than to argue with livestock, not much can change your mind once you've made it. I'd wish you good luck, but it'd be pointless since you've already given up.

Something to keep in mind going forward to be sure. With the world how it is, a violent revolution is an inevitability. And what kind of governance we want afterwards needs to be thought up now.

You might be right, and that absolutely no solutions will exist between now and then. But the game isn't over yet, and I've never been one to just wait for the timer to run out, unless that's the win condition. I just hate losing. It's not about naive optimism, or ignoring the climate science. It's about doing anything and everything to create any sort of win condition, and using optimism and grit to boost morale. Because if we give up, you will be right, end of story.

That's also what makes your opinion actually less than worthless, it makes you an active detriment to finding such win conditions. I don't care if you believe that things can't get better, just stop spreading your doomerism like a plague for the human mind. Your nihilism, could have been existentialism, you could be more. It's real shame you just let all that time you put into studying go to waste because you decided to call it quits early.

And yeah everybody is overworked and underpaid(me too, btw), which is why its imperative that we continue working towards cutting out the Owner class out of our businesses, and out of our labors. Socialize the workplace, and make our labor having monetary meaning again.

Btw, I do know how bad it really is. I do know the climate science, and how many things we have blown past, that if we wanted to stop any of it we need to get our shit together decades ago. I just believe that damage mitigation matters, even if it ends up being only a narrow band for some of the human race to continue. And part of that damage mitigation starts with dealing with the problems of today by any means necessary.

However, if you are intent in doing nothing, giving up entirely, and not even giving a damn about mitigation. Then please give up quietly in the corner where the rest of us don't have to hear you, and choose a non-messy method for easy clean up. Thanks.

Are you?

Could happen to anyone of us. If ICE agents don't start taking bullets to the face soon, then that probability increases exponentially over the next few months.

They kill us through fraud And theft, and are surprised that we celebrated Luigi's deeds. The truth is they will only start to care when more of them start to drop. How many more millions need to die because of this BS before we're ready to bring justice down on their heads as a collective class?

If they are going to process you as terrorist anyway, then you might as well make moves that are worthy of the label. After all the only real difference between a freedom fighter and terrorist is the narrative.

Just a reminder for every incident caught on camera, there are 10 more that aren't filmed, or have been scrubbed from the internet. This is happening in every state that ICE has presence in and has been happening since the beginning of last year.

Unlike Jimbo's and Ned's joke. They really are coming right for you, and they will not stop till you are dead or being subjected to historical horrors in a concentration camp. They will find any reason to make it happen.

Defend yourself by any means necessary.

Forgive me, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around how many people have been sleeping and still are.

Tyranny is already here. It's been here since they started taking people to concentration camps. Like how do people not get that? The line has already been crossed and then some. Tyranny is here and will continue to reign until you and everybody else who is asleep or groggy are willing to wake up and do the hard but correct actions.

History is filled with these moments lol. Whatever entity that is writing our story would benefit from learning wtf subtlety is.

Why would the legal system built for the ultra wealthy, by the ultra wealthy come down on Trump?

Frankly this is proof you cannot use their legal system to bring them down. If we want Justice then it's going to need to be Mob Justice or some other form of Justice that exists outside of their legal system.

I can barely afford to pay attention, now they want 4x as much? Who the fuck can afford 4 * $0 in the current economy?!

Assuming this title is true, it warms my heart to see. Hopefully next time it can be a member of ICE melting into the pavement.

I'm far more interested in a wage cap. Top level earner can't earn more than 10x the lowest level earner in the company. And a it doesn't matter the amount the wage is, if it isn't also tied to inflation as we'll be back fighting this fight again in short order if it isn't. That of course is take all of this at face value, and pretending it's not just theater.

Though overall I would still prefer people rejecting the current business structures and making employee-owned businesses the new way. Go Pirate with the whole thing, everybody works for shares. Unions/Min. Wage are just compromises from realizing the true potential and pay of the working class.

Which shows you what they are afraid of.
