Because most of us dislike violence, even when it's necessary and justified.

Meanwhile, the rich have no problem using violence against us to protect their hoarded wealth or if they can profit from it in the slightest.

It sounds like we need to crowdfund the creation of a Private Military Company. We'll need a good name for it.

Guillotines are speech

Citizens' United Military makes for a nice acronym

That's how you actually get assassinated.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 11 months ago

Ok ok ok so then let's put it on the blockchain. Nobody in charge, "assassination politics".

People need to remember that the Western culture rewards people with mental illness. Ultra wealthy are sociopaths to the core. This is why they can have no empathy for people. We all were scratching our heads how the Studio Heads in Hollywood couldn't wrap their heads around fair treatment of their worker's.

These people aren't evil, they are inherently broken. Normal people don't aspire to do whatever it takes to trampled over others for gains.

We need to stop rewarding the mentally ill with more money and instead put them in psychiatric wards.

Sociopathy is not a mental illness.

I think it is considered a personality disorder akcshually.

[-] te_abstract_art@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Personality disorders are listed in the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases), and are definitely a mental illness accckkkshually

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I have meet plenty of poor sociopaths. It isnt some super power. Maybe you just hear of the combination of rich and sociopath because no one cares that the guy who makes 20k a year towing cars lacks empathy.

They do as well, the difference being they have enough money too disassociate themselves from their own actions and have someone else deal with the mental, social and financial repercussions.

The whole "eat the rich" thing is pretty offensive to survivors of the Cultural Revolution, where there are several actual examples of political torture-cannibalism documented by the CCP. Though, in this case, the "rich" were just teachers and lawyers and other people deemed uppity.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Okay, but context is important. No one is talking about the CR. We're talking about French Revolution era inequality.

[-] goldenlocks@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I am, Mao was right about landlords

“Cool it with the anti-land remarks”

Who's talking about the CCP? Looks like you're going out of your way to be offended.

Or maybe the capitalist brainwashing got you bad.
