The patterns of behavior between shareholders, boards of directors, and executives is what’s killing people. The same role can be re-cast with different actors.

It’s not that CEOs need to die, it’s that that larger pattern of behavior that gets rich by killing people needs to end. Maybe this spooks other people who are part of that larger pattern into stopping, maybe it makes them do it more, stealthier, and with bodyguards. It’s hard to say.

At the very least, we should all jump at every chance to help things without hurting anybody, wherever we do find it. “Necessary violence” comes with a big ol heap of plausible deniability, and it’s a pretty big ask for somebody to handle it responsibly.

The justification will be alluring even in circumstances where it is not legitimate.

It’s not gonna win anything and we shouldn’t act like it will.

Still, no reason not to be correct about it. He’s gonna try and make his delusions national news, so, gotta have the reality out there.

Crying children. It’s gross but it’s also just sad.

Musk and other bad-news big tech dweebs want to end the concept of countries altogether.

If they get good enough AI and drones on their side, they might legitimately be able to take down a major military.

I don’t know about “with any value”. I think he just thinks he’s the only person. And the other people are…something else. Like people, but not.

By a thin margin, yes.

And only because “non-engagement” can’t run.

Americans very much almost didn’t vote him in. Also a fact, and it paints a very different picture.

I really hope you’re right about them not being able to do their jobs. That is its own kind of disaster of course, but one that’s far better than the proactive, aggressive, needless harm I’m thinking they could be ramping up for.

Taliban has made their country shittier than republicans have made america and god dammit they’re not losing that battle anymore.

Change that to take over the Democratic party and you got a good idea.

First past the post kills third parties mathematically.

Kids understand in about two seconds. Effortlessly.

If guns had a function besides murder, that would be a bad argument, but they don’t. Defense is just the threat of murder.

Shooting at the range for fun, I suppose, but if people are actually serious about that they’d want to store their guns there because there’s no need for them anywhere else.

It’s not any more strange than literally any republican voting to shoot themselves in the foot. Nobody benefits from it. Not even the rich! It just feeds their money addiction like a drug dealer feeds a junkie.

Trump almost has it. If he can just be a slightly bigger ass on a slightly bigger stage, then he’ll be happy.

Musn’t give up too soon.

You have to be especially shitty to side with the guy after it’s all come out.

People would, in general, really love to pay a reasonable subscription to youtube that gets fairly distributed to the video creators they watch the most.

So if there’s ever a way to do that, they’ll probably use it.

Every election in America, no matter how shitty Republicans get, is 49%-51%.

This produces a rather odd dumbass effect where if it’s 48%-52%, people start shouting about landslides.

(About that basically always tied thing…)

I didn’t realize the Department Of Giving Up had a presence on lemmy.

edit: on further inspection, if you check the comment history of this account, you can piece together a picture of a professional wet blanket turned loose by an evil empire to bum a resistance out with low-energy snark.

I personally recommend a block.

Some other country is gonna have the new nasa, and the united states is going to fall even further behind. It’ll just be a brain drain and most of it isn’t going to go to space-x.

The only way to make money is to convince people to give you money. If you wanna do it by acting like it’s because of some skill you have, that can work.

He’s afraid that if he doesn’t slide us into unlikeability gradually, the shock could kill us.

4D chess?
