OK, I read the various finger wagger quotes. I’ll concede one point: the shareholders (capital) bear greater responsibility. Yes, he was “just doing his job.” But it’s dirty work, this job.
It’s true that the primary utility of this type of CEO to a shareholder is liability encapsulation, but if someone hires you to do their dirty work, and you take their money, it doesn’t matter that you’re just doing your job.
In short, any henchman should know what he’s signing up for. Those exorbitant salaries are hazard pay, make no mistake. If you take these dirty jobs, and prolong the suffering of millions, I think it’s reasonable to expect that you’ll need to watch your back. Forever.
Sorry to go straight for Godwin’s law, but Eichmann’s entire defense relied on saying he was just doing what he was told, “My fault is only my obedience”. It’s not much of an argument.
As they’ve shown us already, strongly worded articles and protest don’t do shit.
Truth!
Glad I got rid of The Washington Post subscription. We should have significantly less sympathy for either Bezos and Murdoch.
If it was Murdoch or Bezos instead of this guy the parties would still be ongoing
Cancel your cable or satellite subscriptions. Don’t let Fox raise their carrier fees. https://www.nofoxfee.com/ https://www.commoncause.org/work/no-fox-fee/
I pray for them to receive a karmic, consequentialist outcome for all the things they’ve done.

I want the population to exercise more civic engagement and vote to their interests, not their social identity. But the Zeitgeist is a force of nature that cannot be bargained with.
Hence an absolute monarchist is the President Elect and the death of a rich CEO is lauded.
And of course Trump is a million times worse than the dead CEO in every respect. But the vice-signalling of a successful murder makes it cooler to kill the CEO than to vote against Trump.
That time has been and gone! There are no free and fair elections in USA. It’s another blinder from Putin’s playbook. Those freedoms will never be restored.
They’ll never be given back.
They could be taken back.
There in lies the challenge! Mobilizing internet addicted societies to take action.
Out of all the people who have been shot in NYC in 2024, Brian Thompson is the one I feel the least sorry for. And that includes people I’ve never heard of.
Fox News (12/6/24) quoted one of its own contributors, Joe Concha, saying, “I think this encapsulates the far left’s worldview: If you run a company that isn’t to their liking, you deserve to die.”
This is not about running a random company to someones liking. Its about the company that decides whether people die or not. It literally decides about the life and death of its customers and they wonder why people respond with death threats when the company tries to kill them.
its not just that, it includes forcing people to live with completely treatable unnecessary chronic pain or issues.
It’s profiting off of the suffering of others. It’s evil.
This had previously been posted to [email protected] (https://lemmy.world/post/23131889) but was removed as “not politics.” Personally, I think pointing out instances of manufactured consent very much is politics, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because .world admins, and by extension their mods who have to enforce their policies, are corpo bootlickers
It does seem clear from the messages they write which, coincidentally sound entirely like Reddit marketing tripe, that they are gunning for a corporate buyout and golden parachutes, for a Lemmy instance, which is laughable.
What messages?
I’m assuming their admin messages.
I left when they defederated pirating communities.
Hm, the are federating to dbzer0 where there’s a large piracy community.
They specifically block the pirating communities. You can’t access them from .world
Oh that’s interesting. Yeah, I can’t see them with my .world account. I didn’t realize they could block individual communities for all users.
Internet users are declaring that the man police believe to be the shooter, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, is certifiably hot
That’s just a fact. It has nothing to do with whether or not you’re sympathetic to him.
I have concepts of thoughts and prayers
I don’t even have those.
didn’t get prior approval
