the CEO who killed millions via denying healthcare was the true working class hero

A CEO was "murdering" with debts before and after, call me when something actually changes.

To be clear, Brian Thompson was a terrible person and deserved to die, but we as individuals are not his judge. For his execution there should be trial.

Nobody will actually change anything for you, unless you work on it. All of you, all of us collectively. I'm calling you now, do something.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And I will vote for change. And I ask you to do the same.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's good, commendable, and necessary. But it might not be enough. I don't think we are at the point of murder yet, but we are definitely past the point of just voting.

If it's not enough then there are no solutions, period.

Sure there is. History is littered with examples. Though a more full explanation of the solution is probably a violation of the TOS.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

History is littered with failed states that turned a democracy into dictatorships.

That's not mutually exclusive with my point. So what?
