Won't anybody think of the poor billionaires robbing us and keeping us from being able to exist decently and deignly?
...
Nope. Fuck them all, and if it's through vigilante violence that they fall, so be it, it seems pretty obvious that the elite think law is above them so why should we play legally with them?
Just going to underscore the "all" part of this.
Every billionaire is complicit, including your personal favorite billionaire: The beloved pop star, the superstar athlete, the philanthropist, the soft-spoken guru who cosplays as middle class. Every fucking one of them.
Just don't say that about Gabe Newell in any gaming community on Lemmy. All billionaires are bad, except for when they let us buy cheap games on Linux apparently.
Edit: yeah I should have expected downvotes. Sorry for hurting your favorite billionaire's feelings. Don't change, Lemmy.
no he's obviously bad like what the hell. Still funny that he keeps winning by not enshittyfying as much
It's almost as if he's alright by the virtue of not being shitty
In a system that lacks 'sanctioned' justice, you will end up with unsanctioned justice. It's not even about how 'effective' it is or isn't. It's just going to happen.
Yeah it's the same reason there's so much violence associated with selling drugs. When you have no legal means of seeking justice (a drug dealer can't just call the police if someone steals their supply) - you have to resort to unsanctioned justice.
Turns out that electing a felon while systematically dismantling our institutions and trying to take away voting rights might not be the best idea.
I would argue that the lack of justice has been baked into our system from the start. Unaccountability for the rich and abuse of the poor didn't start under Trump.
The only good thing Trump did was explicitly highlight the failures of a system designed around handshakes, winks, and assumptions that people have a modicum of humanity
It's not about sympathy, singular acts of violence are not usually effective at driving change. A whole movement using threats of violence as leverage tho?
In a coordinated or at least commonality of timing. Or the problem of school shootings would have been resolved already
Archduke Franz Ferdinand would like a word
He would? Huh. Guess he got better
I don't think it's a question of whether Princip worked alone, just that it was a single act of violence that precipitated a great deal of change. That being said, Franz Ferdinand's assassination was just the spark that lit the proverbial powder keg. If it wasn't that event, it would have been something else. The conditions for war had been in place for a while, just waiting for something to trigger it.
Arguably, it was more of a final spark on the powderkeg as there were several other things shortly beforehand that turned the family spat into the worlds problem
Now all we got to do is get enough people to do it together all at once. :D I belive in you all. :D We can change it! We can make it better!
