    “Demonization of corporate executives is not new.”

    Huh, maybe if they acted in accordance with the social contract instead of lining their pockets with the blood of others.

    Nobody says fuck the fire department.

      In other news, demonization of actual demons also not new. It’s been showing signs of decline though, as much more effective evils steal the attention.

        As a TST member, though no longer practicing exactly that direction, Satanism is objectively more moral than a lot of religions. Even the one it descended from. Well, I should say, as practiced by its members.

    Class solidarity for the elites; rugged individualism for the little people.

    Hey gun people.

    For decades I’ve been arguing you, and you always seem to think the 2A is very important for freedom in case you ever need to have a revolution.

    I want to point out that here’s an excellent chance to convince me I’ve been wrong about 2A being archaic.

      95% of American gun owners are pussies that couldn’t even get past the first hurdle when aiming at another human being unless their god king tells them to.

      that’s because they follow directions fairly well but lack the basic foundations of free thought.

    Huh. ~200 people who’ve screwed over a lot of people are going to be in the same place at the same time, and that fact has been advertised?

    Wow. That takes some serious balls. I wish them luck.

      Only Little Caesars.

      The other chains occasionally deliver something minimally edible by mistake.

    One murder has put it all in to stark relief for many where the loyalties of law enforcement lie; and yet i cant help but think no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season

      no one will remember who was on the side of the working class come election season

      To be fair, at the very most 5% of national level general elections feature a candidate who’s not an enemy of the working class.

      Because probably the richest political party in the world is the least bad of two options and blatantly favor donors over grassroots in the primaries that they are somehow still allowed to be the arbiters of.

      It’s like pitting 1989 Mike Tyson against 1989 Mohammed Ali, except Ali gets a head start where Tyson has to stand completely still, a loaded shotgun, and is the match referee.

    If only they’d be proactive about the root cause rather than “proactive with law enforcement intelligence “

        ¿Por qué no los dos? If we stay mad long enough, maybe we’ll get an actual change in health insurance coverage. Or even single payer

        Then again, we may need to be mad for 4+ years

    “We protect everyone on the streets of New York, not just CEOs”. While they might do that, this one murder has shown that for some people, the police really does the job they should be doing for everyone.

    CEOs and executives aren’t the target of the anger, it’s sociopathic CPAs (Cunts, Pricks, and Arseholes). It doesn’t help that to succeed as an executive one must embrace being a sociopath.

    The easiest path to remove the targets they’ve painted on themselves is to cease being, and behaving like, sociopaths.

    More broadly, we need to stop incentivising, rewarding, and normalising sociopathy.

      Or perhaps the aristocracy just builds another ring of fences and hires another battalion of guards.
