And how is that going to change anything? Is healthcare in the US any better now? If you kill the CEO of a big company, they will just be replaced in a matter of days, the company will continue to make money, business as usual, while the "hero" gets life without parole. Your problem is a system, not one individual.

 

This whole thing is just so comically shortsighted.

What a stupid and dangerous thing to say to impressionable people who follow you. 

[SapphireSky]

So why don't she go out and do it then? 

[original_lifeline]

stupid instigator

[Jay07]

Maybe instead of encouraging people to take up arms for internet points, tell people to not vote drug addled billionaires into office. And before someone says they're all the same, at least Biden put in a price cap on insulin that Trump is going to undo.

[Saint James]

shall we start with the CEO of Prescription Songs?

 

[ScorpiosGroove]

why the ceo talk tho ? this energy should go to politicians and their puppet masters first

 

then come the money hoarding evil ceos 

[Dialamba]

Murdering once maybe for the shock value but it's ineffective because they'll get replaced the next day. 
Americans always think with guns and direct their energy toward the wrong persons maybe if you started protesting  like French do.

Yeah this just plays right into the Cyberpunk corpos playbook, where corporations start to arm themselves and have their own armies.

We already see that happening under Samsung, and just the matter of times for the American corpos to follow suits. I lowkey think Boeing already has a secret team like that with all their whistleblower killings, as they have always been a military contractor and have all those military connections.

You do know even CEOs have to answer to the major stockholders, right?  They are also as replacable as any worker.

[Gojira]

So much mental illness these days. Let's just kill people we disagree with!

[Khal]

She's right.

 

They wouldn't even need to use a gun this time though. Just play her latest album at full volume for the CEOs to hear, and they'll probably kill themselves. Problem solved.

No, CEOs too have been bribed by shareholdetrs like politicians, to do their bidding only. In the past (I'm going back to the 70s) CEOs were forced to disobey shareholders more and also take into account the opinion of others, like labor union, and then make their final decisions. We can easily go back to that (setup company rules to function that way). The is no grand law set in stone that forces CEOs to obey only shareholders. It's a choice they made. That culture of management is recent decades' evolution and it can be reversed.

You can simultaneously acknowledge that our healthcare system is predatory and in major need of fixing (and that CEOs are evil people) while also acknowledging that murder is wrong and ultimately an ineffective, all-or-nothing response to a nuanced issue. 

I get this sentiment but do think there's the elephant in the room that many who rush towards it are usually affluent themselves or share a proximity to affluence. 

 

We saw it with Luigi. 

 

Most Americans do not know a CEO or are a CEO. Most Americans have had an insurance claim denied. Thus public opinion polls showing, despite a negative view of Luigi, the UHC CEO also had a negative approval rating despite being the murder victim and people claiming insurance denials as a logical reason for what drives someone to murder despite maintaining that murder is wrong (based on the disapproval of what Luigi did). It was only the celeb, media, and corporate class all part of the 1% who clutched their pearls as we found Brian Thompson's murder to be funny. 

 

And that this kind of response of "...guys...don't forget...MURDER IS BAD, RIGHT???", despite being earnest, might not be effective to most people because of its overt class character. Most poor people or working class people know they're not gonna actually commit murder while holding the view the rich are a bunch of bastards who deserve to get got. 

[Bad_vocal_technique]

Allowing their healthcare system to become as predatory as it is, it's probably the most unethical yet the most American thing, Americans have ever done. 

[Communion]

"CEOs are workers too"

 

Dndnjdd I'll never leave this site for the sheer fact of its constant stream of insane hot takes.  

 

If you are criticizing her, the only thing that could make sense is to remember the rich are evil and powerful and worthy of your hatred which means you must take discretion on what you link publicly to your identity on the tools they own. If anything, it's fine for someone like Ethel who employs herself to do such.

I mean…..why not wait till the Dems hold the Senate then take out the Conservative judges? Like if you're  gonna go big, GO BIG!
 

(Disclaimer Murder is wrong blah blah…)

[EdgeofTeeth]

Everything she said is correct and history has proven it time and time again. She's going to get herself on a watchlist tho 

[Rep2000]

Didn't know people would have trouble reading just 5 words "as replaceable as any worker" but here we are.

While Ethel's at it, could she do us a favour and take out FElon for us? Appreciate it!

Idk if I've ever seen you say anything worthwhile outside of music takes on this site. What's comically shortsighted is allowing the rich to suck the working class and the planet dry while we sit idly by in a train that's about to run off the tracks.

Anyways, queen tingz. Something's gotta give, and the working class has been giving and giving for a century now. 

 

I don't advocate for murder necessarily, as a disclaimer, but somehow these ugly ****ers need to get scared. It's their choice.

[KatyPrismSpirit]

My main issue with this is that I don't believe in human sacrifice in any front. Why does she imply murder is the only way to enact change? Historically speaking, change for good doesn't only come from short term violent resistance. Protests, strikes, legal challenges, and public advocacy also can help.

 

And why is she implying that one singular CEO indeed bears the full responsibility in regards to wider complex societal issues such as the disastrous US healthcare system or climate change? As if big investors, chairmans and shareholders don't determine how the course of an organization develops and how an organization operates. Even if such rhetoric were implemented, it is not even a sustainable way of enacting change whatsoever. Killing CEOs does not dismantle the systems or institutions that perpetuate inequality on fronts as health and the environment. Those systems would simply replace the individuals. 

 

Overall, implying that more CEO's should be killed just because you are (rightfully) frustrated with the way how wider systemic issues develop won't solve anything. Effective change requires targeting the systems that oppress us, not some individual who has a degree in Economics and became a CEO. 

 

Also. She needs to be careful. Advocating violence is illegal in the US and could very well lead to criminal charges or an investigation. It's not free speech
