    I would only be impressed if somebody actually did something about the conditions that created the CEO in the first place.

    Bullets are famously ineffective against these conditions.

    You can shoot a capitalist, but you can’t shoot capitalism.

      You can shoot a capitalist, but you can’t shoot capitalism.

      Not with that attitude you can’t.

          Not at all. I’m talking about a few hundred. Tops.

          Most people who identify as capitalists aren’t. Theyre ideologues who like the idea of capitalism because they think theyll be the one wearing the boot stepping on all our necks one day. They don’t own capital. They don’t make fortunes leeching off the rest of us. They don’t ruin lives or kill thousands via social murder by denying housing, food, or medicine to extract a rent.

      he wasn’t even motivated against capitalism. he was an athlete who suffered from CTE and asked for his brain to be examined in a note before he shot himself in the chest with a rifle (something that requires a bit of forethought - he deliberately saved his brain for analysis). https://nypost.com/2025/07/29/us-news/nyc-shooter-shane-tamura-thanked-a-cte-documentary-and-listed-names-of-prominent-neuroscientists-in-suicide-note-sources/

      This was supposed to be anti pro-sports violence, I guess.

        This has to be the most brain dead propaganda take on the internet right now. Yeah he totally didn’t mean to kill who he killed. It was all a happy accident

          The person is questioning the motivation (with pretty solid points), that doesn’t mean it was an accident. Ironically, your accusation just called your own reading comprehension and reasoning into question while you’re calling this dude brain dead

            We can all read. I’m saying this was no coincidence. Only denial would have someone thinking that

      You know, killing the idea of a comfortable life is a pointless idea. Would you give up a delicious cake and tea just to raise the workers’ wages? There is no way to defeat capitalism while people are still alive this is my opinion.

        Incorrect. Capitalism is failing in front of your eyes, you’re just not educated enough to know what it looks like.

          Well, I completely agree that I’m not educated enough, you know, I’m not a particularly smart person. But madness, you know… It’s getting to the last now, fat freaks are trying to maintain their fragile power to the last. They think they’ll sit there and when the carnage is over they’ll come out and try to play at civilization again… We live in a crazy world, you know, these freaks might even succeed. I think you now think I’m crazy, but who do you think is normal in such a world?

            It’s called fascism. It’s not some unknown deep sea creature, it’s human nature’s bad side. That said, we have no perfect economic system and capitalism sure isn’t it. Seeing the fallout now

        People are able to tighten up the belt if they believe in the cause. And you can even rewind the clock on the capitalist system to see that people were contributing more and taking less for themselves.

        Erosion of social structure was helped a LOT by targeted propaganda. Some of which is influencing your own thought process.

        Think about it.
