No, the point was not to shoot them.

A few CEOs dying from tarring and feathering would just be a happy little accident.

I am permanently disfigured due to their negligence. One of my best friends was killed by their greed.

Publically disfiguring/killing a few CEOs would be awesome. Not only would it save lives, but also it would be hella fun.

Certainly the assassination of Ferdinand is a proximate cause of WWI, but there were much greater forces in play. The great powers had giant mechanized armies for the first time, they had plans for the deployment of millions on very strict deadlines, and they had the belief that failure to meet those deadlines would mean national destruction.

I think it is more plausible to argue that propaganda of the deed helped to end the gilded age and usher in the New Deal era, which was America’s golden era.

I also act under political desperation. Only under the most optimistic assumptions will electoralism be able to save us from climate change; currently the most likely outcome is human extinction. If the propaganda of the deed has only a 5% chance of saving us from our modern gilded age and the resultant climate-induced end of civilization, then I say it is a chance we must take for we are running out of serious options.

Higher networth = more points for a successful kill.

In a video game.

Freely? No, not completely.

But I will say how much I admire America’s founding fathers. They recognized their chains, killed their oligarchs, and they didn’t stop killing until they were truly free. “Live free or die”, truly inspirational.

Give them time, they are volunteers.

The majority of my post history since the heroic slaying of Brian Thompson is removed and post_no_longer_exists

I guess the only way to enact real change in this country is to murder a billionaire…

I’m hoping for much more real change in this country, and I support anyone with enough heroism to murder a CEO.

What’s the point of having Democrats when they just act like Republicans anyway?

Yes that’s my point, it is disgusting that the lesser of two evils is aiding and abetting an ongoing genocide.

Adulthood has nothing to do with this, it is a question about basic morality. Moral people are able to look beyond their own suffering to recognize the suffering of others. Moral people oppose genocide.

High road!?

When I looked at my ballot, I saw Genocide Joe and Even-More-Genocide Don.

I dont think a “high road” has been on the national ballot in my lifetime.

Chelsea Manning is a national hero who was tortured in US prison for 7 years. During that time she spent over a year in solitary confinement, and as a result of this internationally-condemned practice she tried to kill herself multiple times.

If you knew you would be subject to indefinite torture, wouldnt you flee to Russia too? Why would you subject yourself to living conditions so brutal that you decide killing yourself is the best option?

And Dems were particularly vulnerable to FUD due to their rightward shift on policy, poor messaging, and support for an ongoing genocide. Maybe the party should take some responsibility for once.

It is funny you bring up “fire in a crowded theater”, that is the perfect example to prove my point.

The “fire in a crowded theater” analogy was first used by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendal Holmes, but the “fire” was actually anti-WW1 pamphlets and the “theater” was actually a public street. So the leftist handing out anti-war pamphlets was jailed.

But you’re right, the first amendment does not protect you from the ramifications of your speech. Someone yelling in a theater should be met with a disorderly conduct charge, and nazis in the streets should be met with organized antifascist violence. Death threats that pass a reasonableness standard are prosecuted as felony harassment. Death threats that do not pass this standard are protected under the first amendment.

But in my opinion, there is no crime that warrants being sent to Guantanamo. A lifetime of torture is a fate far worse than death, and there should be no room in a civilized world for such barbarism.

If we somehow passed a Nazi ban (pass it through this fascist government? lol), they would just use it to jail and torture left wing protesters.

There isnt much of America worth defending, but one great thing we do have is the First Amendment. Let’s not throw it out just for some baby nazis.

The word genocide has not lost its meaning, you just obviously never understood it.

It is not about numbers of dead. The world considers the Bosnians to be victims of a genocide, but “only” 8000 people died in Srebrenica.

I think we should have killed more Nazis back when we had the chance.

Are you paying attention to the media lately? Its filled with outright lies, warmongering, and bloodthirst.

Just like the lead up to the Iraq war.
