And their planes made with scrap parts are still flying around.

Edit: A lot of new .world users showing up with ChatGPT responses about how this was a conspiracy, reminds me of an article i read this week.

An unpopular opinion, but I'm not buying a conspiracy either. The guy wanted to hurt Boeing, had just finished testifying and saw the writing on the wall that Boeing was going to walk, and decided to kill himself as a last stab at bringing attention to it. Worked like a charm too.

It’s only unpopular because every time someone dies that’s even tangentially associated with some corporate fuckery the internet instantly calls it an assassination. It’s absolutely stupid, but the hive mind seems to be geared to desperately want everything to be a conspiracy. No better than the conservatives making vaccines a conspiracy.

If only we had the refrence of past experiences to better predict how corporations act in the future.

Chiquita banana hired paramilitary death squads to secure their bananas and they were never punished.

The bigger conspiracy nut theory is ignoring observable reality to make corpos the good guys.

Don’t put words in my mouth.

In no way shape or form do I view corporations as “good guys”. They are greedy, destructive on multiple levels, self-serving, cold, and often straight up evil.

Nobody here has observed shit except a someone died associated with a court case against a corporation. Everything here calling it a conspiracy is conjecture and made up opinion.

The hiring of paramilitary death squads and what banana republics are is a completely different and tragic issue that extends far beyond what a single “hit” on an individual is.

Don't suck on the words if you don't want them in your mouth lol

You picked a side

You picked a side

Yeah. They picked truth and honesty over sensationalism.

Spreading lies about corporations doesn't help. They're bad enough anyways; we don't need to make up stories about them to paint them in a bad light, they're perfectly capable of painting themselves.

Equating whistleblowers being killed to vaccine conspiracies shows how well people have been brainwashed into state obedience. Any narrative goes.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Evaluating everything as a conspiracy shows how well people have become incapable of critical thinking and applying cold logic and skepticism to both sides of the equation. Any narrative goes.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

In this case there is no benefit of the doubt.

What do you think happened with Epstein?
