At least one. Usually more.

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.

Removed by mod

I don’t care. I’m a wage slave. Not a senator or exec at some financial firm.

The closest Galactic Senate.

If one doesn’t exist then teleport me to where one used to be. Let me see intelligent life. Or at least the remnants of one for a few seconds before I die.

Russia may enjoy how the chips landed. But the wound is entirely self inflicted. 50 years since the US govt gave up all pretense of giving a fuck about anyone worth less than 8 figures. Stagnant wages. The opposition to Republican bullshit is center-right plutocrats with their heads so far up their own asses they cocked up a 2nd layup election against an insane serial criminal reality TV host by running to the right. Best we can do on Healthcare is fucking Romneycare. And the idea of opposing a for real no shit in living color full 3d genocide is met with cries of antisemitism and being told to get over it.

Probably.

I have zero faith in our institutions. They’ll quietly do their jobs until the dictator has them purged.

I’m sure the secret service is absolutely thrilled.

Imagine caping for that fuckin’ lizard. Couldn’t be me.

They have different lists for different things. Real unemployment is closer to 30% than 3.

Ministry of Truth?

ARE. OP is clearly very high right now.

Ha.

This is the only good thing about Apple products. Yes, the only one.
