Not really “powertripping”. Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can’t dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930’s “tolerating” fascism, and the Nazi’s killed over 100 million people. Don’t make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

    no one was bringing Brian Thompson to justice

    You’re not wrong, but the issue is that as fewer and fewer people believe that the law will actually hold anyone accountable, they’ll decide the correct thing to do is to take it into their own hands.

    And, if there’s anything that’s been very, very, very, very, clearly shown over the last 2 or 3 years in the US it’s that the rule of law does not apply to anyone who is rich, famous, or is capable of wielding sufficient soft power.

    If you’re one of those 3, then absolutely nothing you do is illegal, and once you’ve reached the point where the justice system will not do anything to those that wrong you, the only thing you have left is to go out and take action yourself, which historically has almost always been violence.

    I would expect there to be more, rather than less, of these types of murders from here on - especially given that everyone in this country either has a gun, or is a 15 minute background check away from having one.

      Very much so. I was meaning to imply as much, when I threw that little “in theory” into how congress and the courts are supposed to work.

      The class war will not be televised!

      But also there other things people can do to fight it besides violence. Yeah it aint as glamorous as taking down a CEO parasite for entire nation to align behind.

      Advocate for your wages, mind your privacy and be a shrewd consumer…

      Deny parasite profit hurts them it just would take millions to really punish these parasites.

      But yeah people with nothing to lose which are being minted daily by thousands will do their thing… I always wonder why the old are such bootlickers. Seems like a fine way to go out. But boomer is too selfish, too scared of death to do anything but bootlicker the capital class while telling his child to work harder.
