Strange how they were completely incapable of understanding this concept when it comes to right wing violence.

They were supposed to be numbered back in '12. I was so wrong.

Law enforcement is now seeing the line between corperations and people and guess who they have to defend.

I am looking at another headline right now: "White House condemns using violence to tackle 'corporate greed'"

When corporate greed is out of fucking control, and nobody is lifting a finger to do anything about it via legal channels, what the fuck else do you think is going to happen?

I'm also amused by how reporting on this has been "We're trying to work out what his motive was," when it's so clear that everybody knows what it was. They are fucking us, every day, and this guy got pushed to his breaking point. The fact that there's been such vocal support for Claims Adjuster - not just indifference - suggests that a whole lot of people are real close to their breaking points.

This is how revolutions begin.

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” -Henry Ford

Pretty sure Henry was just bitching the Jews in that quote.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Famous piece of shit Henry Ford.

I don't really believe that the families of the wealthy, unless you're the Waltons, are as complicit and corrupt as the members in their family actively fucking over everyone else. They might've not have known, they might've been kept out of things.

So it would be very reckless and cold-blooded for those innocents to shed blood. It's the people directly responsible, who are the targets. So, no, their families shouldn't worried. The pompous rich relative should be.

While law enforcement does not believe Thompson's killing is part of a trend targeting health executives, the attack underscores the vulnerability of these high-profile executives.

Yes, very vulnerable people. I mean, not as vulnerable as an elderly cancer patient who's been denied care, or a working class family driven to bankruptcy by medical debt, but, you know vulnerable to righteous retribution. Except, they're not really even vulnerable to that, since they have the resources to pay for private security.

You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

Let's not warn or threaten, actually; it spoils the element of surprise.

Ideally, the enemy should never see it coming.

You never say, ‘I’m gonna fight you, Steve.’ You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker-punch him

"People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

I hate that V for Vendetta it’s kind of playing out right now.

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I know, right.

"Over the last two years, online activity has indicated a growing negative sentiment around conglomerates, the wealthy, and executive staff at private and public organizations," the bulletin said. "Calls for targeting the executive team, their families, homes, and places of work using a variety of online and offline means to harass, disrupt, and harm the individuals and the organizations have become widespread."

I wonder why…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Wait wait wait, I don't think anyone should be targeting their families. Fuck the rest of 'em, though.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Just out of curiosity, a quick look on the Forbes "Real-time Billionaires List" shows us an interesting suffix after several of those names: "& family". It's an ampersand (meant to be the conjunction "and") followed by the word "family".

Bitch please. That's how unions got shit done. The boss made threats? Cops come to beat up and shoot at striking workers? Then the workers show up at the boss' house and burn it down or beat the crap our of him. That's how it used to be done.

We allowed the centrists to take over, and their hippy “Follow the rules. violence is bad but we’ll back state sanctioned violence” shtick has ruined a century of progress.

I blame WW2, it beat the bloodlust out of the working class.
