      They got it, they’re just playing dumb because this is what they want.

      Being a CEO isn’t a public office, killing them isn’t a political act.

        Thats the dumbest shit i have heard on here. By that logic going to a protest isnt a political act, which it obviously is.

        Basically anything that affects or targets a political topic is itself a political act. Donating to a party, posting a meme about a politician, writing an article about climate change, and yes killing the leader of a company while clearly targeting them for their decisions that negatively impacted the public and sparking the biggest public discourse about said industry in decades.

          I mean

          If your protest isn’t about changing laws or regulations, then it’s not political, it’s just a really loud argument between citizens protesting and being protested.

          Sometimes politicians will step into labor disputes in an attempt to make a compromise, such as when Pres. Biden made the railworker union’s tentative agreement law despite the objections of many workers (but later got them the sick leave and other requests anyways).

          In fact I think you could argue a person subverting the laws and passing their own judgement without any authority is the exact opposite of politics. If everyone did that then politics wouldn’t even exist.
