Sweet unmerciful fuck. This has blown up way beyond what it should have. A few things to shut up the pearl clutches:

  1. Generally speaking people don’t have problems with business OWNERS. Sure you’re technically a CEO but that’s like asking why a tomato isn’t in a fruit salad.

  2. No one is really operating under the MO of offing all CEOs everywhere just because they took the job.

  3. You’re absolutely right, not all CEOs are bad. Some still look at their employees and see valued assets that they invest in and grow. And they’ll never make the news.

  4. If you oversaw your company creating an algorithm that literally put weighted values to people’s lives and then denied them coverage that they were confirmed to be eligible for through the programs that they pay you money for while also when being pointed out that this algorithm inaccurately denies people their coverage and has caused actual documented deaths…then if you’re going to play at that table with people’s lives don’t look shocked when it’s your turn to ante up.

        There are admins/mods on the fediverse, even on Lemmy specifically, who do monitor voting actions and may respond with punitive actions such as bans.

            I mean if you want to move the goalposts to mean that specifically, then sure, to my knowledge you’d be correct so far. Doesn’t mean the medium is categorically immune from that happening though.

              The fediverse is fundamentally more resistant to that type of shit tho, cuz mods and even instance owners can’t piss off too many users without the community migrating elsewhere. The split in the memes community between .ml and .world is a perfect example

            That’s how I got banned. It was either that or I upvoted the wrong post or maybe posted a reply with an “Eat the rich” gif.

    Someone really should make a film about hunting down the 1%. “Slaughter at The Wal-a-Go House”, where Wiff Mezos, Alan Masque, Ronald Krump, and others each suffer appropriate ends.

    I literally just figured lemmy out to get away from that Nazi sympathizing, boot licking shithole it got turned into once redditors became products for advertisers.

    Fuck Reddit, Nazi lives don’t matter, the world would be a demonstrably better place if we rounded up the billionaires, relieved them of their wealth, and redistributed it through society.

    Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn’t enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don’t need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.

      Why do they all layoff workers who actually do the thing? Why do they always leave in layers of management? What’s up with return to office, why is zoom of all companies doing it?

      It’s consulting companies like McKinsey. They go to the board and say “you need a strong CEO to boost stock price”. Then they go investment groups and say “look at this strong CEO, you should invest in this company”

      The worst part is what McKinsey thinks makes for a “strong” CEO means they’re specialized at doing something, usually something evil

        You won’t do shit. Memes are fun to post and it’s fun to pretend that you’re dangerous, or brave or some kind of revolutionary but you personally won’t do anything other than post memes online.

        For all the bolsterous talk on the internet, there hasn’t really been any serious action except maybe people buying fewer Teslas and even that’s mostly outside of the US. No other Luigis, no riots, nothing in the real world. Just barking at other dogs online safely behind a fence.

          What’s extreme is what the CEO’s of many major corporations have done to this country. This is just a joke with cartoons, it harms nothing. Calling this extreme is absolutely absurd.

          Oh no, ‘extemeism’ like demanding basic human rights, public services, and ending the wealth disparity caused by capitalism. How scary. Definitely as equally scary as far right extremism that’s about genocide, fascism, and imperialism. What an enlightened centrist take

      As long as there’s at least one person calling it out in the comments, I still have a bit of faith left in humanity. But I agree - it’s bizarre how little self-awareness there is sometimes. Nobody actually wants to live in the kind of world I see people advocating for here on a daily basis - not even the ones advocating for it.

        I’ve never seen a platform that hates CEOs more than Lemmy. I get not liking the people who seem to completely abuse the system but wanting to murder all CEOs seems like a questionable take. It us sad that there are only like three people here who think murder is problematic.

            Honestly I think it is better to hate particular companies not people. CEOs are disposable and can be replaced. The one exception to that might be founders of the company but even at that they still can be fired if the company is publicly traded.

          Judging by the hostility, it seems that questioning these murderous fantasies is treated as just as unforgivable as being a CEO.

            If capital owners agree to give up their stolen wealth, there is no issue. Killing is a hyperbole, like Eat the Rich, unless the capitalist class declares militant war on the workers and leaves no other choice but armed resistance. Incarceration is a perfectly acceptable punishment and rehabilitation is the correct way to reintegrate criminals back into Society.
