[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.
That’s bull. Democracy isn’t how Trump became president either time. It’s an oligarchy, powered by dirty money and dirty deals. This one death just saved thousands of lives, if not a lot more. You don’t think healthcare CEOs have a direct hand in lobbying and political trickery?
I think it’s quite naive to believe insurance company will now change their way of doing things because one their CEO got shot. Unfortunately, I think will be replace by another one just like him and the only thing that will probably change is that they will hire security and make “customers” pay for it.
A majority of Americans want the system to be the way it is, keep shooting CEO and they will want the government to act to prevent it.
USA is the result of decades of under-education and media misinformation. Want it or not, a majority of voters chose Epstein’s closest friend to be president.
