10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Did not even take a megacorp CEO with him. What a failure.
Didn't take anyone with him. Best terrorist we have seen yet, only offed himself.
Yay murder
That's a great impression of a healthcare insurance CEO!
Are you Dora the Explorer on an acid trip?
Cause you just can't stop licking Boots.
You applied for the united Healthcare CEO position December 5th, didn't you?
It's murder when it's a human. The mega-rich aren't human and belong in the ground where they can't hurt anyone else.
Dehumanizing the other has succesfully been used to to make normal people commit horrible acts in the past as well.
While I agree with you in theory (because you're completely correct with your point), these people also do horrible acts on a global scale daily. We're at the point where either they go, or we all do.
I'm sure this argument has been used before as well.
Hey buddy the boot licking conference is down the hall.
P.s. they're never gonna pat you on the head.
Again, I agree in theory, but it has only been used in bad faith before. These guys are going to utterly destroy the very planet that sustains us.
There's a difference.
But sometimes it's a lie and sometimes it's true.
The horrible thing about self defense is that its necessary.
It has and I am with you that we should not dehumanize our enemies. However, I also wonder the difference between dehumanizing your enemies because they are weaker than you and make a good target versus dehumanizing your enemies because they have exorbitant power over you. What if that's what it takes to get people to actually stand up to the oligarchy? I don't know.
