Okay, so I never said never use violence or to just accept the status quo. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not so nieve that I think any real change won't happen without a lot of violence. Violence is distasteful and should be avoided, but is also sometimes necessary. If King Louis' head didn't get chopped off, I would probably have been born a literal serf instead of a modern version of one. If the oligarchs of today lost their heads I wouldn't feel a thing, when they bite the dust I don't. I just think the conversation on lemmy.ml needs to take a pause and think for a second. Cause it seems to me that many people here want to kill everyone who is higher up on the social ladder than they are. That just perpetrates the endless cycle of violence, it doesn't make a better world.

Sure the world would be better without Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk, or many others. I've read discussions people seemed to take seriously suggesting that millions to tens of millions of people in their country deserve to die. Apparently saying don't kill people with complete disregard for the importance of life is a bridge too far for this part of the internet.
