Because Israel is doing a genocide, and they are doing everything they can to obfuscate that fact, including accusing some low level EU bureaucrat of terrorism.

As 40,000 genocidal invaders prepare for their latest round of slaughter and destruction, I have only one wish for them.

Death, death to the IDF.

That may be true, but it doesn’t excuse the list at all.

My country is responsible for the majority of international violence since WWII. I find that morally unacceptable.

I make posts like this because I want my country to do better. But the sad reality is we have yet to learn our lesson. We have been aiding and abetting an ongoing Holocaust for almost two years now.

Your comment ignores the context that the US is doing anti-Chinese propaganda here, and there is no parity.

Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot, and China was releasing PR statements on every anniversary of every US atrocity. They would still be issuing multiple statements every day.

As an American I think it’s helpful to put this into some sort of perspective.

Things the US won’t forget:

• Tiananmen Square (thousands dead)

Things the US will forget:

• Korean War (3mil civilian dead)

• Vietnam War (2mil civilian dead)

• Iraqi War (1mil civilian dead)

• Violent overthrow of East Timor (widely considered a genocide)

• Violent overthrow of Afghanistan (twice, over 1 mil dead)

• Violent overthrow of Nicaragua

• Violent overthrow of Grenada

• Violent overthrow of Panama

• Violent overthrow of Libya

• Coup d’etat of Guatemala

• Coup d’etat of Iran

• Failed Coup d’etat of Syria

• Failed Coup d’etat of Indonesia

• Many failed Coup d’etat attempts on Cuba

• Coup d’etat of Congo

• Coup d’etat of Laos

• Coup d’etat of the Dominican Republic

• Coup d’etat of Iraq

• Coup d’etat of Brazil

• Successful Coup d’etat of Indonesia (1 mil dead)

• Coup d’etat of Chile

• Multiple Coup d’etat of Bolivia

• Coup d’etat of Haiti

• Multiple Coup d’etat attempts on Venezuela

• Coup d’etat of Palestine

• Mass civilian casualties, destabilization of many governments, people subject to a lifetime of torture without a trial, all under the War on Terror

This list could be so much longer, but I gotta get to work.

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.

Democrats have been spoiling every race and letting us slip into fascism, so we might as well try something different, right?

It’s so confusing to me how you can be pro corporate- and police-reform, yet against vigilantism. Were you paying attention the last 4 years?

We had a broad based popular movement for police reform resulting in a mass popular uprising. People went so far as large scale property destruction in the name of reforming the police. A large majority of the population supported the movement at one point. And what did all that nonviolent effort get us? Not a speck of police reform to be found anywhere in this country.

Saying you want police reform through nonviolent means is a utopian vision, just like star trek. Come back to reality, read some history, the only way to reform these entrenched systems of power is through violence.

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.

David Joyner looks like a great target for justice.

We need more heroes!

Murdering your nearest billionaire is ok.

In fact, I encourage it.

Your post ignores all of the flaws pointed out in the Princeton study that I mentioned. If you take more flaws into account I think the score will be far lower than 5/10.

But I am more curious about how your “path to fix the issues” will actually get implemented. I agree with your solutions, but they have no chance of being passed by Democrats or Republicans.

I think you are doing the meme of “How to draw an owl. Step 1: Draw the owl.”

Ignoring politics is such a selfish position.

Shunning politics is simply siding with the status quo. When you ignore politics, you are tacitly agreeing to 60k dying a year from lack of healthcare, millions being starved and killed in Gaza, and an ever-increasing wealth disparity where billionaires get richer while the rest of us get poorer.

Shunning politics is saying “my time on this earth is so precious, I can waste no time on thoughts of those less fortunate than I”

So then, the obvious followup question:

Do we live in an actual democracy, or an oligarchy with the trappings of a democracy?

With the largest-ever electoral studies from Princeton and others concluding that “90% of the population has essentially no impact on government” and “Public opinion has near-zero impact on US law”, I believe it is the latter.

Tl;dr: do your civic duty and murder an oligarch

Higher networth = more points for a successful kill.

In a video game.
