For the amount of references to people defending CEOS and billionaires, I never actually see any unless I walk by a TV blaring Fox News.

To be fair, that guy looks like his hands are probably grimey. I wouldn't want to touch them either.

Also, maybe the players are tired and grumpy after the match.

Opposing capital punishment without a trial != defending millionaires.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

so what crime would Thompson be charged with?

oh? no crimes were committed you say?

preposterous! his executive actions were costing thousands of American's their lives!

that's not illegal? ...because his support group in the DOJ won't ever make corporations take responsibility for killing people?

well...what do you get when you oppress citizens and ensure they have no legal way to stop you?

Someone died. Even if that's a billionaire from health insurance, someone dying is usually not a good thing. What is good about this situation is how it has put class consciousness in the public eye in a way that it wasn't before.

I'm glad he's dead and I know he's burning in hell.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee -4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I agree about the gained consciousness, that's a good thing. On the other hand, being I'm firmly against death sentence (even with a trial), what I don't agree with is homicide. That's not justice. It's just vengeance. And it's a very dangerous slippery slope.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So how do you suggest to solve the situation when there are a lot of people who should be in jail or worse but they are rich so the government justice system does not work for them? In the lifetime of one person who's life was destroyed by the said evil person.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee -2 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Killing them, of course. /s

Go head, buy a rifle and start your vengeance. Don't wait for others to do it, if you're so brave (spoiler: you're not and you're just talking out of your ass).

Homicide is wrong and it can be a slippery slope.

However, the system for dealing with monopolies/oligopolies is broken. Regulatory capture has occurred. The rich shifted taxes to the poor. And a Fortune 8 company continues to kill thousands of Americans and make massive profits from doing so.

The Paradox of Intolerance tells us that letting this continue will only result in the deaths of thousands more Americans. Tolerating this behavior results in more 1000x more American deaths and inspires others to profit off the pain, misery, and death of our fellow citizens.
