Remember all that critical theory stuff people were freaking out about a few years ago?

It's basically about how society arranges itself to benefit the people who have the power in a society.
Like how crimes against business and capital are serious crimes, but crimes against workers are usually treated as paperwork errors.
Compare the number of people arrested for shoplifting as opposed to the number arrested for wage theft.

Or about how the murder of one CEO gets weeks of media attention and a potential development of new systems by the police to keep it from happening again, but we've already moved on from the last school shooting, and our official policy is "yeah, that'll happen from time to time"

Deny Delay DEFUND.

Don't they make enough money that they can pay their own security or set up their own hotline? Why does the citizens have to pay for it? Maybe their insurance can pay for it since it's a high risk job.

This is like the Trauma Team in Cyberpunk. Rich people who can afford the highest tier get a private militarized swat team to go to them any time they're in trouble.

Really goes to show who exactly the police work for.

Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin - An Accounting of the Victims of Brian Robert Thompson

If you want to actually look at things quantitatively. I ran the numbers, and by my math, Brian Robert Thompson was responsible for the deaths of 40,000 innocent American souls.

If I'm reading this right it's worse than that.

You know how when you go to the police to report a stalker or someone threatening you and they just kind of roll their eyes and tell you there's nothing they can do? And you're left getting a useless restraining order that's going to do nothing but feature in the news and trial after you get murdered?

This is a hotline for rich people to report stalkers and threats specifically to be acted on. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they whitelist their phones to be at the front of any queue for 911.

There are two things that the aftermath of Luigi's action has made poignantly clear to pretty much everybody:

• That the vast majority of people no matter their party affiliation and political leanings is feeling the pain and hates the abuses that carry on being committed by a minority of people in our system with total impunity ... until Luigi.
• That the Ju$tice System, the Police and most of the Press, unlike what they claim work for that minority of people, not for the rest of us.

It's amazing just how certain parts of the system that are supposed to work for everybody (such as in this case the Police, and in other cases large parts of the Press with their "poor CEO" articles) are pretty much shouting loud and clear for all to hear that "we're not working for you, we work for the ones that abuse you".

Most people just discovered now with this killing of a hated CEO that what they individually felt about certain things was also felt by almost everybody, and then these bought-and-paid-for minions who for decades have been putting a lot of effort in passing themselves as "working for the community" just repeatedly and overtly signal to everybody else their true minion-of-the-rich nature.

Mind you, as a Leftie who has been skeptical of whose those elements of the current system for decades, I'm happy they're basically outing themselves and they should keep on doing it so that everybody sees them for what they really are and who they really serve,

America on that any% speedrun to become Cyberpunk universe.. trauma team, anyone?

I'm confused. Was there another CEO killed or harmed? Or was it still just the one? I mean, if CEOs were falling like flies in NY state, then I guess it would make sense to have a special hotline for a task force or something.

But if it's still a tiny number of CEOs, then something like this would be a giant waste of government resources.

We should normalise saying "just another healthcare denial shooting" like people say "just another gang rivalry shooting".

Giving them a special CEO hotline that normal folk can't use isn't going to make them more popular.

Satire is dead. Not enough CEOs have followed suit.

"Hi yes I'd like to report that a CEO is about to make a decision that could hurt themselves or millions of others. Yes i would like to have them committed and watched for the minimum amount of time. Thank you for your help."

When a school shooting occurs the cops wait outside for the kill count to rack up.

Yeah fuck this, a special 911 enables the rich to snitch on the poor without any good reason, citing "threats". No specific class of people in a society should have special access to law enforcement.

But who am I kidding. When the SCOTUS ruled that the police protects property and not people, this was the next logical step: protect those with more property than others.

One more step towards a Cyberpunk dystopia. And one more step towards class consciousness, a general strike, and revolution, hopefully.

We need to give our executives the tools they need to protect themselves from these violet threats. Tools like the ability to quickly roll back all machiavellian policies and practices before they can become a real danger to the policy makers.

And now the rich get their own military for use against the citizens

Errr...you guys have to wait on hold on 911? This isn't just a joke?

That's it, I'm founding my own LLC so I can be a CEO

Where's the onion logo?

With each move, the elite prove that they think lowly of the common man.

Okay. Can I get a hotline to call when a corporation fucks me over in some way?

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

912

Well, being a CEO should be considered suicidal ideation. We already have a hotline for that.
