      You can just go to their website. They aren’t hiding.

      But they’re also the friends and scions of the mega-wealthy, put in these positions specifically to fuck with the lower classes. If they’re feeling a bit of impunity right now, you can hardly blame them.

        I don’t think they’re targeting the board or the ex3acs. They’ll target the volunteers who do the actual editing.

            It’s not school children ruining our lives, so maybe I’ll just shrug then offer thoughts and prayers if it starts happening regularly.

              It’s not school children ruining our lives

              It isn’t a single fungible CEOs, either. The problem is systemic, not individualistic.

              Shooting a bunch of Sandy Hook middle schoolers is definitely more horrifying. But the consequences of the action are more of the same.

              More cops, more surveillance, more conspiracy theories, more terror.

              if it starts happening regularly

              It will never happen regularly enough to undermine the profit motive. Not if it’s just random Lone Wolf vigilantes who binge watched Demolition Ranch videos and got delusions of grandeur.

            What I meant is that he represents a physically dangerous reaction to the kind of oppressive policies they and their ilk support. Right or wrong, people are losing patience with the billionaires and their lickspittles. Maybe the Heritage Foundation with their culture war BS won’t be so much of a target, but the economic interests they represent are obviously no longer able to imagine that they can get away with their thievery without some possibility of a violent reaction.
