oh absolutely not, this isn't going to encourage them to make better decisions, this will just make them more security-minded, investing in bunkers somewhere, going even more underground and delegating further so that no one can hold them accountable for anything
can't you just see the future here? "as we here at Plobbson-Hornsbury Group recognize that our executive staff are valid individuals too, out of an abundance of caution we withhold as much information about them as possible from public record, to ensure their safety and security. remember the human, folx we can't comment on who may have implemented any given controversial policy, I'm sure you understand"
like imagine if some insurance CEO really did take this to heart and said "aw gee I'm gonna start making better decisions that benefit everyone," and actually made an effort, but on the ground level some random guy talking to some level one grunt worker gets denied and decides to kill this now-socially-conscious CEO?
what if you order something from amazon and it arrives broken and this is the last straw for an unhinged person like you so you go murder the nearest amazon executive? like what the fuck are they supposed to do? magically ensure that no packages ever arrive broken anymore?
We should celebrate success and see it as an inspiration not punish it.
If you do that you end up like Russia.

It's good for them to remember that they're mortal and not untouchable when they're operating the levers that arbitrarily fuck millions of people over. All I'm saying is that if you think they're being sensible in this case then you definitely should not object when they are being far more sensible in skipping the middleman just doing his job and target far more relevant and worse corporate executives in the largest for-profit corporation that does almost nothing but harm people to the benefit of a few. Or even just people like Musk, Bezos or Kotick. (This should definitely include any cops even if they aren't executives.)
Yet a lot of you clapping at or silent at this decry them doing just that.
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) are you just talking about america?
yes some of us appreciate having things spelled out
based on past context of the discussion
"All I'm saying is that if you think they're being sensible in this case then you definitely should not object when they are being far more sensible in [dreaming for the death of Trump] [...] Yet a lot of you clapping at or silent at this decry them doing just that."
[dreaming for the death of Trump] = [target far more relevant and worse corporate executives in the largest for-profit corporation [[America]] that does almost nothing but harm people to the benefit of a few]
or I'm just insane and reading way too much into every statement
either way
also this comic triggers me because it doesn't use the correct form of the riddle which is just as much an example of communicating badly ("think of words that end in -gry. there are three words in the english language. what's the third word?")
edit: oh just had to read a couple posts later

I think you have to factor in what his job actually was and what it represents to appreciate why feelings might be mixed; someone dropping the CEO of, say, Hasbro would have less widespread ambivalence I understand that.
We still shouldn't be celebrating executing people in the streets. CEO or not.

Funny how RE can cheer at a broad daylight execution but some guy who went bananas in a subway car getting killed in a struggle is the worst crime that ever happened.
Without CEOs you'd all be starving under a bridge
No wait, there wouldn't even be a bridge to starve under.

Well, they reject all forms of deontological moral rules like "Killing is wrong" because they're nihilists. Sometimes a man "initiates their own demise" by saying the N word in front of a black guy, and he gets killed, and that's not objectively wrong - he just fucked around and found out. And sometimes when the group I like and identify with does something bad, it's just causing a little chaos, and should be understood in context. There are no real general, objective rules here, you see. The only rules are, "what do I need to do to convince you that I can get what I want all the time?" How do I praxis you to death, bitch? They have nothing to lose because they have nothing and have no willingness to acquire anything, their life sucks, and they have no faith in productive rules that work for all, like a system working on general equality under the law, established procedures, and universal accountability. That miracle of a system that we have, (that functions in very few parts of the world) that works on general rules for everyone is meaningless to people that are nihilists that don't value anything we have. They don't have faith in people in genereal, so they work tribally, use black and white thinking, and designate and vilify enemies to produce rules for their "team" that their side must abide by. Tribalists always want to dismantle everything important and good that we've built in the backdrop of humanity's brutal past. They only want a system that works for them, even if they have to fuck everyone else over. So it's all consequentialist shit, if you just kill enough CEOs in the healthcare industry, then people will just accept the perspective of the brutal, psychotic, people willing to do that. You know, like abortion clinic bombers, fascists, and violent racists trying to impose their will on other people through violence. Oh wait, not those people. Nobody is asking you to feel sympathy for the man who was killed, but to behave like this mode of reasoning is normal, is just wrong. FWIW, the private healthcare system in America produces too many bankruptcies, we should figure that out. Shooting this guy doesn't do anything toward that end.

Part of Neps buzz word salad response. Ima be honest. I can't be arsed to try to understand any of the nonsense she writes for a while now because it's so poorly written and fluffed up like a freshman essay word count i can reliably conclude that its moronic without reading it.
Her pretending she doesn't know Embiid is black is hilarious though.
