I heard the other day if billionaires were shot at the same rate as schools kids, we'd run out of billionaires in 2 months.

But frankly, that's one of those things you'd have to see to believe.

You don't know that he wasn't also doing it for his own personal pleasure.

Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

Not really murdering for profit. More like stealing their money while leaving them for dead.

We really need to end health insurance all together.

And also probably pull out the guillotines and remind the aristocracy how many of us there are and how much they actually do depend on us.

I honestly believe a general strike across the country would very quickly put things back on a course for the better.

When people are healthy, they can work. This is profitable for companies. When someone is sick, they can't work. This is not profitable for companies. So it's better to kill the ill. Just like in Auschwitz. Right, insurance companies? Right, Musk? Right, Trump? Right, most Americans who voted in favor of this system and empowering mega corps at the cost of most people by voting for Trump?

It's cute that you think the justice system works the same for rich people like it does for the rest of us.

Every hear of suicide by cop? Now hear me out, what if it wasn't a cop who pulled the trigger but just a regular person? Hmm...

We might get banned for asking for of this kind of activism.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't see anyone asking for anything. OP is just stating their quite factual opinion.

I'll ask.

Can we get more of this kind of activism please?

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Sic semper tyrannis!

Should Photoshop that coffee cup to get rid of cuckface crowder with D.D.D.
