Americans don’t have the stones for it. They are like caged chickens, boasting about descending from mighty dinosaurs.
There is no safer country for CEO than USA.
It won’t happen. I thought at first it might become a trend, but the sentiment has come and passed.
Oh. So it’s not the corporate boot on the collective throat of the citizenry that pushed us here? It was Luigi all the time? I’m starting to think that all the media is owned by billionaires!
whereas their greedy activities have nothing to do with it huh
“Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.
God, they’re soooo close…
That’s the executives job, is to be the public face you blame when in reality they’re just the generals and colonels appointed by the shareholders.
Yes. They’re already disposable by design. CEOs with controlling stake are rare precisely because appointing majority stakeholders to run the company forfeits the advantage of liability encapsulation.
There are exceptions, of course, such as founders retained for their institutional knowledge and track record, but these are generally exclusive to younger corporations.
In general, it would be a massive win for any military to take out their opponent’s generals or other command structure personnel
We’re already in a class war. They’re winning.
They only call it a class war when poor people fight back.
Without fighting back its just oppression
This might seem tangentially unrelatied, but I remember a conversation from earlier this week where a group of coworkers started talking about Taylor Swift and her upcoming marriage
Steeped in internet culture, I thought it was common knowledge that she is a narcissistic piece of shit, and that her marriage is at best a cynical ploy to stay relevant and at worst a sincere emotional attempt to conform to the standards of feminity. The consensus in my community is also that Kelsey is absolutely not into her at all, is probably cheating on her already, and the marriage is doomed, and G*d have mercy on the soul of whatever child is born from that union if it ever receives one.
So I blurt out, “I wonder what the odds are on her divorcing?”
And everyone stopped talking to stare at me, like, “What an awful thing to say,” before continuing to talk, unaware that the conversation they were having was the result of millions of dollars worth of PR, and very much like Taylor Swift is a highly relatable human being and not a scarecrow stuffed with currency.
So it’s not a class war yet, more like an unresisted occupation of zombieland.
I’d look at you weird too.
One, you sound far more invested in it than they are and they are probably just passing time talking about it.
Two, you’re making a lot of assumptions about a relationship you’re not in and have zero intimate knowledge of. Even if that were true it sounds like you are again, way too invested in it.
You can be against capitalism and all that as it is without looking cynically on absolutely everything, especially something so fundamentally unimportant as a celebrity marriage. Jmho.
Talking about the phony lives of billionaires like they’re your friends: normal
Pointing out that the rich are not normal: weird
This is exactly the problem I’m talking about.
If you’re crazy and rich, you’re called, “eccentric”. I hope some lifelong schizophrenic homeless guy wins the biggest lottery ever known to man. From crazy to eccentric overnight
OK man.
A corrupt system operates with the consent of the oppressed. We are all each other’s jailers.
Free your mind, coppertop.
Or stop acting like a weirdo obsessed with something nonsensical.
How about how we don’t have proper healthcare because of billionaires, continued subsistence of Israel, etc? Who gives a flying fuck about some dumb wedding?
You’d get further with your goals if you learned to talk like a rational person. I would bet you feel great though about how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is though which might be the more important thing to you.
You’re not seeing the whole war.
We don’t tax billionaires because they are Wise and Good People, otherwise they wouldn’t be rich!
Until billionaires are seen as the mentally ill individuals they are, they will continue to take over governments, benefit themselves, and send us to early deaths to grow their wealth.
And yet here you are arguing with someone on your side so the Taylor Swift can continue to be America’s Sweetheart unmolested. Doesn’t that make you a little bit curious about underlying social and psycological gears that run the machine?
I’ve lost so many “left leaning” friends talking about politics instead of “insert show name here”. We are going to hurtle ourselves into another Holocaust
Warren Buffett even said that the rich were waging war on the poor back in 2013. Even then he said the rich were already winning
Its not a war until both sides fight. When only one side fights, its called other things, or nothing at all, once the deed is done.
Cops warn CEO bodyguards that
Luigi Mangione Fevercorporate f*cking greed could spark class war.And politicians legalizing their own corruption while working for lobbyists and against the best interests of their constituents
“Spark” class war?
Some people exploiting and killing the less fortunate among us for decades is not an already ongoing class war then. Alright, probably because no one fights back. It has been a massacre from one side so far.That is such an a astute observation and point
Cops admit we have a classist system
Spark?
Pretty sure he’s a symptom of something that’s been ongoing for a very long time now.
The police later told me the pilot light might have gone out letting out a little bit of gas. That gas could have slowly filled the condo. 1700 square feet with high ceilings. for days and days.
Can’t believe I never saw that as anything other than something to move to the plot along. Great movie.
Which movie?
Club Fight
Fight Club
I guess I need to finally watch that.
I love that analogy.
How dare those unwashed plebes fight back in the class war we’ve been fighting against them since forever?
Tirelessly and without scruples or shame we might add
To be fair, when a pig is disobedient, the farmer is mad too. That’s just how the elite class sees working people.
“Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.
Because a lot of them are caused by the influence of wealthy corporate executives. They’re legally bound to bring in profits for shareholders, but that doesn’t mean they have to do it by being scumbag human beings, lesser than insects.
By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many.
What do they mean “effectively”??
This IS dedicating public resources to ensuring the safety of the wealthy view, and is metaphorically and literally at the expense of the many.
The “Quarterly Executive Threat Watch” bulletin warned corporate bodyguards to switch up the daily routines of execs, limit information on public engagements, and remove bosses’ personal information from the web. The report says bosses should “remain vigilant of lone offenders with personal grievances.”
“Following the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the current political climate, there is a heightened threat environment surrounding corporate executives,” the report says. “Online glorification of the murder of Brian Thompson and calls for violence are still apparent and further create a risk for a lone offender attack.”
Honestly, I don’t think it’s wrong to let these scumbags who chose money over humanity live in constant paranoia that the one of the many they’ve screwed over will eventually come out to get them.
If they wanted to live normal lives, they could have chosen a different, more ethical path.
I think its wrong to let them continue living like that. Living in fear is never the answer💘
REPEAL DODGE VS FORD
Yeah? And?
Love how these public servants who have no obligation protect us yet are writing up reports for these particular individuals.
Abolish the police.
Abolish the policeRewrite western society. Because that’s really what it comes down to if we’re gonna go that route. It’s like an endgame Jenga tower that no one wants to make the next move on and yet everyone wants to complain about how it ended up.
As they say, every accusation is a confession. The cops would do it. They would go shoot health care CEOs if they got fucked the way many Americans get fucked every day.
They know the health care CEOs are evil pieces of shit, but they don’t give a fuck as long as they don’t get fucked over personally… Otherwise, the advice would be, “Tell your bosses to stop being evil pieces of shit, FFS.”
The cops would do it. They would go shoot health care CEOs
Cops will never be on the people’s side in any situation. The one cop who entered Uvalde did it because his wife and kid were there. And the cops let him go in while holding back the parents of all the other kids, many of which were killed. Thats US cops in a nutshell-- every time, every situation.
its why police and fire fighters have pay and pensions like its the 70’s still while teachers do not. its funny to watch old shows and movies that talk about. on a police mans salary. back in the day when their pay was typical of workers pay.
Are you speaking of US teachers? Because western Canada here the teachers are paid quite well and have a pension.
yes. it can be decent here or not and does have a pension but the police and fire blow it out of the water.
That’s why they get cushy six figure jobs with Cadillac benefits, untouchable union representation and paid training with no education and often through nepotism. It keeps them divorced from the reality of the majority
