Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.
Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.
I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.
(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)
Not an employee, but I guess close enough.
Good fucking luck.
Gotta keep the proletariat in line. Can’t have them getting uppity.
I kind of agree with them. Having everyone talking about murder is kind if terrifying.
Wait until I tell you about
death panelsclaims adjusters and their body count…I know it is, but it’s important that people don’t forget about the hundreds of thousands of people murdered by insurance companies denying claims every year.
Are you a ceo of an evil corporation that kills thousands a year? If not, your pretty safe.
There are plenty of people who would replace him in a heart beat.
Murdering never really accomplishes anything
Enough blood spilled is how revolutions happen.
I don’t want a revolution though
What kind of thinking is that? Ah yes, let’s start a revolution. Revolutions always have great endings. They never lead to dictatorships.
I agree, the US should’ve stayed under colonial rule and France should still have a King.
Do you want to stand by while politicians enact laws that hurt your friends and family? Do you want to stand by while corporations take everything from us?
At some point, the common person will take too much and fight back. Will you just stand by?
You want the status quo in health in the US?
If murder never accomplishes anything, why do governments spend so much money on militaries?
Less terrifying than normalized murder that executives commit with “just good business”.
The US healthcare system is even more terrifying.
I think that’s a totally different problem not solved by shooting replaceable executives
There’s an analogy that Robert Heinlein liked regarding assassination
It’s like shooting horses that can’t clear a jump until you get one that can
But it misses the fact that humans see what happened to the last guy and are motivated to not let it happen to them, and in cases like this it’s pretty obvious what hurdles health fund CEOs need to clear
It will not solve the problem, for sure, but I can’t disagree that it could have some effect xD.
I honestly prefer this to bombings and riots and such. At least its targeted. These problems are not a magical effect coming from the ether. Its decisions by those in power and every replacement is an opportunity for better decisions.
I wanna thank spez for fucking up reddit which kickstarted the beginning of a new era. The Fediverse Era.
You have been federated, do not resist.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILEYour cultural and political distinctiveness will be added to our own.
You will adapt to service us
To bad about lemmy.world doing everything they can to be reddit 2.0.
Oh well, hopefully this will drive people away from centralization
Switch to a different instance. It’s what I’m doing.
They are at war with people
You aint stopping shit. 😎
If this is where we’re at leading into the next Trump term things are going to be beyond fucked in very a short while
Or be beyond good. More CEOs might be raskulacheny.
The rich have class solidarity
Man. I am so glad I joined the federation.
Are they trying to making Healthcare affordable?
Even Lemmy is bending over backwards about it, so nobody think that the Fediverse is non-compliant.
[citation needed]
Been on Lemm.ee and have only seen posts in support of him and how fucked up healthcare is.
I’m glad more and more I landed on this instance.
It’s the admins and mods for Lemmy.world
Good thing lemmy.world isn’t the entire fediverse then
There are certain instances on which it’s the instance admin who’s posting the pro-shooter memes.
I landed first in world. Now I only use it when Aussie.zone is offline.
I should make lemm.ee my backup
I’ve seen tons of posts in support of Luigi. The ones I see taken down are ones are threats of violence, including vague and ‘joke’ threats.
I think that’s pretty reasonable considering they are following the law of the countries that host it.
Same. The admins even said they’d allow his manifesto to be posted as long as it was in the appropriate community.
I had a post removed because I linked to an article. Didn’t express any opinion of my own and it was from a legit news source.
This you?
Yep. I guess the last sentence does express an opinion.
My dude, that’s clearly a threat.
I think that they’re referring to Lemmy Worlds announcement.
World moderation seemed too “all up in my business”, so I ditched it fairly quickly. I get that ML users have a reputation for being obnoxious about their politics, but the moderation has been very “hands off”…as far as I can tell.
They just moderate in other ways to protect their own views. Mention anything counter to .ml and out you go, also you can’t swear which is an odd rule.
We can all view your moderation history. (The 3 vertical dots next to the star)
None of your comments and posts have been removed by a .ml moderator.
I never said mine were. I’ve seen it happen to plenty of users and I’ve seen downvotes as well.
My comment history and the fact that I have not been banned disagree with your assessment.
You’re lucky, many people have been.
I was just curious since the fediverse is a hell of a lot more than just LW. Didn’t even think about them since I only see posts that make it over and must have missed that announcement
Lemmy instances or run by individuals in a crap ton of different jurisdictions. None of these individuals want to go to court for our free speech. If an instance or an admin or running out of a location where they are reachable by legal measures, who are we to say they need to protect us?
It’s funny watching basically every news outlet scrambling to try to and explain why Luigi has so much approval online, when the answer’s rather simple:
US Health Insurers go out of their way to fuck over people in their time of need (the old Delay, Deny, Defend), and the executives get rich off of doing this - so the people hate them, and are more than willing to spit on their grave.
I thought content moderation was very difficult???
Meanwhile the other day the manager of a grocery store was joking about how we need more people like him while scanning my ID for beer.
