Hey Execs, do you think maybe if you need to hide behind armed security, that you might just be going down the wrong path by doing evil shit? Also armed guards won’t help you if you make the public mad enough and destroy enough lives to where it doesn’t matter if they live or not to them. Just a thought

What is the answer when the wealthy murder countless people but hide it by doing it indirectly?
How are people supposed to make them stop?
Because the murder that the wealthy are doing needs to stop.
Everyone who is not them needs it to stop.

No, they aren’t terrified. These people think they are demigods. I’ve seen it in plent of senior vice presidents even. It’s almost a job requirement at this point. Body guards make them feel even more important, and the company pays for it. Plus… that other tech bro has it, so I should too. That’s just the type of people we are dealing with.
23 hoursArmed bodyguards for billionaires are now pariahs. If you know one, isolate them, tell everyone who they are, and the boot they lick. More hated than the glassholes.

This has actually been happening since Luigi. Especially tech CEOs. The companies actually started paying for them.
I first ran into it in a class a couple years ago, the dude running was talking about how our group was the first group of normies he’d seen. It was all silicon Valley C staff before, every one had a dude standing directly behind them who wouldn’t talk. We’re only hearing about it now, but they’ve been creating a new personal guard industry since the united Healthcare ceo got it.
The companies actually started paying for them.
Why am I not surprised.
Hot take: I believe most CEOs are secretely excited by having their own, paid-for bodyguards now.

Why do people go after the execs when the board of directors is the ones making the shitty decisions?
The news never talks about boards, so it’s not really in most people’s minds. The majority of people probably think of the CEO as the king.

Yes, and lest you present that as some kind of “gotcha,” the Gestapo didn’t disappear until the Nazis were removed from power, because they were the ones giving the orders. This isn’t about guilt, it’s about actually achieving something.

Because the executives are carrying them out (or instructing others in carrying them out) and thus complicit. By rights, they should be objecting to those decisions and refusing to do (or order) unethical or unconscionable things.

Ok, let’s say a ceo objects to the boards instructions. They’ll fire that CEO and hire another one that’ll listen. The problem persists.
- luciferofastora@feddit.orgEnglish3 hours
Then it would be the new CEO’s duty to likewise object to unethical instructions.
Mind, I’m not saying the board shouldn’t be held responsible. I’m saying the CEO is still complicit, even if he’s “just following orders”.

Because the majority of share holders making those decisions are executives in their own right.

Wrong, murder and violence isn’t the answer in a democracy. They work on LLMs, not on skinning children to the bone.

Violence is a useful tool. What Luigi did was just. When reason, negotiation, a plea for empathy or sympathy fails and exploitation continues, violence is the answer.
They work on LLMs, not on skinning children to the bone.
It requires a certain type of ignorance to not see how evil the likes of peter Thiel are.
In addition to how his products are literally killing children: He’s basically part of MAGA, actively destroying the USA. He has expressed horrid views over time, not the worst of which is that he doesn’t believe in democracy.
So yeah, removing people like him is the answer, if we want to get back to a functioning State of Law. And since the US government is in cahoots with them, there’s not going to be a just trial. So what else to do?

Sure but do we live in a true democracy, when the law protects the elite and not the many?
A functional democracy sounds like a cool idea. But we don’t have one. So if we can’t have it I guess I will laugh when billionaires die instead.
isnt a part of the epstein files basically about skinning children to the bone
No. But there’s a conspiracy tale claiming Dems are pedovores, and I’m sure believers of that see it in the Epstein files too.
Just a re-hashing of the age-old blood libel conspiracy narrative.

These fuckwits are most certainly tyrants per my cultures definition using bribery, intimidation, and legal bullfuckery to build their stupid AI data centers. Oh also quite a few of them want to set up a tachno fascist dictatorship. So in summary hang em high and let the ravens feast apon their gallow corpses.
