It’s like the “only democrats have agency” thing. We as a society don’t seem to hold republicans to any sort of standard. They’re like a fire that burns or a plague that spreads. You can’t expect a fire to be polite.

Except they’re not an elemental force of nature. They’re people. People with names and addresses and free will. They should be held accountable.

I don’t mind this. I’ve never ridden one of the horse carriages. They seem expensive aside from the animal welfare concerns.

On September 29, federal prosecutor Jerome Morgan, assisted by FBI agent Jennifer Runyan, publicly charged a Michigan nurse with assisting the escape of a man held by ICE from a hospital.

That sure is a guy with a name and probably address.

When you’re interfacing with the world emotionally, that’s how it goes. I mean, we’re all emotional, but for some people that’s the bulk of it. Emotions create reality. For other people they’re more advisory.

I don’t think “decent Nazi” is a valid combination

I wonder if this was caused in part by assholes pushing onto the train before people could get off.

My understanding is a lot of the rich assholes with the power to do something about this view these deaths as desirable.

Perhaps you would prefer to live in a dystopia where the bread is full of sawdust and the milk is rotten.

You shouldn’t be allowed to sell “raw” cheese. It’s unsafe.

The people who did so should face charges analogous to, I don’t know, attempting to poison a bunch of people. Fucking nail them to the wall.

Natural consequence of capitalism.

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

The only things that change people’s minds are peer pressure and trauma. Facts won’t do it. You can show someone all the facts in the world proving that their job sucks, but they won’t care. But if all their friends and family start calling their a boot licking shit head and won’t hang out with them? They’ll feel that.

I mean theoretically, in a movie sense, if you could compromise IT or leadership , you could then probably issue orders to the field units that are destructive. Like go to a location where you’re waiting to execute them, or tell two squads to go to the same place so they shoot each other.

They should be stopped.

There’s always a chunk of people who want to be the boot. And a chunk of people who are happy to eat boots if they can be the boot sometimes.

Surely he exists in the real world, with like an address and favorite outdoor dining spots. These people are too comfortable in their evil lives of wealth.

I can think of some people that, if they got stabbed, I’d be like “yeah that seems fair”

Now, now. It’s illegal to call for violence against the state in the US, or enough people believe it is that it might as well be.

We’re a conservative country. That means hierarchy. The people above can do what they want.

You seem to have imagined a link between

This has to end, nobody is worth that much. Even if they were, they shouldn’t have that much, because nobody needs that much.

And

Billionaires are a symptom of a society that is sick.

as if they were trying to say that the people in the articles are billionaires. That’s illusionary. There’s a full stop.

This

will never be reasonable that some people make hundreds of times what other make on a full time job.

Was the point. That some are only millionaires is irrelevant. Billionaire is a subtype of “too rich” used as an example.

No fundamental facts are in error.

Billionaires are a subcategory of people with too much money.

But also what’s your point here? Just pedentry? Defending CEO wealth at this 614:1 ratio? Defending billionaires right to exist?
