      Well of course.

      Because one is a human, the other is a fictional character.

      Luigi can go around burning every single Superman comic and Superman can’t do anything about it.

    They should be. That’s the point. They’ve ignored us for decades because the propaganda worked.

    “Violence is never the answer”

    Well historically, that’s a blatant lie. And Luigi woke us all up to that fact. People can argue that the 3.5% rule here applies. But if it does its closer to 35%.

    Spades are broke. Die is cast. Can’t put the Genie back in the bottle. Can’t put the cat back in the bag. “Terrorism” charges don’t scare us. Their finger wagging doesn’t move us. We can see the truth now. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

      Realistically, the death of Brian won’t move money or power in any meaningful way. CEOs are replaceable like all workers.

      What it hopefully will do is make people aware of the class war that the rich has been conducting for years. Ideally, no more people will have to die to make the working class understand their position, but I’m not entirely sure.

        I disagree that it won’t change those things. This CEO is just one of many, but this event alone has resulted in reaction from heaps of different companies. They see the anger, and they don’t want to be targeted themselves. People will do many different things to avoid being a target. Many of those things are not at all helpful to society, but some of them are… eg. ‘try to be less bad’.

        I’m not saying that it’s a huge shift that will solve all of our problems. But I do think it does make a difference.

        Also seems unfair to small cats. I’ve seen a 1.5 pound cat absolutely tear the shit out of a couple of ≈70 pound rottweilers. She then climbed back out of their yard, and sauntered off. Those dogs never so much as growled at her again.

I’m talking 5+ year old songs or albums. Someone I subscribe to and enjoy their music and has never disabled their comments suddenly has them disabled.

      I’ve noticed a lot of very old Paris videos were removed this year. Not sure why. Google/YouTube seems to be heavily demoting them as well, because some songs don’t show up in video search results at all, and you can only find them if you search for the album.

        Snapped who’s neck? A Supervillians? Because that’s not what I’m referring to. No, CEO’s aren’t Supervillans, they don’t have any Superpowers.

      Imperiex wanted to make the universe how he wanted, causing the deaths of many people and superheros, Superman said fuck that noise and killed them by pushing them into the hypothetical time before the big bang.

      So I mean, Superman has already been written to do such.

      But if you mean Superman who doesn’t exist wouldn’t kill a person that did exist, yeah that’s believed to be impossible by most.

        Yeah but that’s a supervillian, not yet another CEO admist the sea of all the others. Superheroes don’t want to have to kill at all but against evil of that magnitude, they feel as though they must because to not would mean the lives of countless others, so they make that age old ethical choice of killing one to save the lives of potentially even millions.

          So you believe he’s a hero then and not a superhero because he didn’t have to overcome super human odds, that makes sense.

          Let me break some ice if you aren’t understanding that, CEOs in large corporations ARE supervillains. It isn’t a toss up, it’s an explanation point. They steal from the poor and give to the rich.

            I’m not saying I agree with the ethical choice this hypothetical superhero in question made.

            No they’re not. They have no super powers, they’re only human. One of which you would be yourself if you shared the same circumstances.

            Supervillians are one in a million (friendly reminder that they dont even exist). There’s seemingly an infinite amount of people that would replace every last CEO we kill. And behind every dead body, is a family, friends and who knows who else that would only be given the incentive for revenge; The “vicious cycle” of an eye for an eye.

                I think the closest we get from a real world’s point of view—in contrast to anything thats ever existed, would be our capacity for selflessness, not only individually, but especially collectively.

      Does that guarantee why companies have tried removing their about us page that show their employees and their position in the company, or why they are hiring security, or starting phone lines so they have outlets if they need someone to talk to?

        Don’t mistake fear for precaution. I lock my doors every night not because I’m afraid, but because I’m aware of what could happen if I didn’t.

        Until now, people didn’t randomly murder CEOs in cold blood. Now they do. So adjustments are being made.

        This isn’t the movement you think it is and I’d be willing to bet it’s going to have VERY negative consequences for us all.
