i can't give anyone the source of this information, to preserve their safety; and to preserve my own, this is a throwaway account which will be abandoned as soon as i post this thread - meaning i won't be online to answer, nor will i ever be in the same location as i am now. do not try to contact me.

what i want to tell you is that capitalists already know the masses are angry, and have known for years. they have discussed ways to make that anger subside, and being aware that americans are prone to violence they've recently come up with a devious solution: every year, they get together and pick one among them to henceforth casually and very openly walk around without a security detail, in the hopes that he will be assassinated. they name him a Vessel of Hatred, and make their decision official with an enormous banquet, celebrating the person's sacrifice.

for that whole night, they make him the only one with permission to grossly mistreat the waiters and the cook staff. he scolds them and beats them up violently with various tools, trembling not just from the anxiety resulting from his incoming demise, but from the excitement of being, for a short time, the only one in that tiny world who's allowed to be a tyrant. the rest of the CEOs in the Greater Good Clan watches, clapping and laughing excitedly as he revels himself into exhaustion in the process. the Vessel eventually passes out, lying down on all the blood and the mangled staff bodies, and waking up the next day knowing that although his life is forfeit he had the greatest night of his life

later that week he is assassinated; the Clan goes on the media pretending shock, but they're happy to know people are celebrating their meaningless revenge in the streets and the internet. and thus the CEOs enjoy peaceful lives for a whole year as the masses, for a while, go into a post-catharsis peace, until another Vessel has to be chosen. a man dies; the class lives on

you may not believe it, but this is the world we live in now. take this as a warning and refuse to be gaslighted by their ploy

I'm losing my mind here; have these people forgotten South Africa and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe today) were a thing?

The only places white Euros like to go to are places where they're treated like kings/aristocracy, like their French colonies in Africa, or the English colony(ies?) in Africa, or colonial India, or colonial Vietnam, etc.

Is recent history not taught in schools anymore?

Health insurance? Even bootlickers who might otherwise be tempted to mourn/defend a dead rich are sitting this one out if not dunking on him too. There are fewer more universally despised industries across political lines here.

It's her fault for still posting on X, the everything app. I'm just there to lurk and bully libs. @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net

A picture telling the suffering of the women of Gaza, who stand in bread lines to provide the simplest of their needs. Israel fought us with missiles, tanks, and every means to annihilate us, and today it fights us with the bread and food, trying to starve us. Imagine that three women were killed in a stampede in the queues, including a small child. What cruelty is this? What kind of genocide are we living through? And the world, with all its human rights and international organizations, and the Supreme Court, has proven that Gaza has exposed the truth about these institutions, which are nothing but nonsense.

I work for a courier and have the only vehicle without a charging cradle for the scanner. As you can imagine, it's quite a bit busier than usual this time of year. Generally, the scanner will last about 12 hours with normal use but I've made it my goal to drain the battery as fast possible. To that end, I have it on max brightness and refuse to let the screen turn off. I'm tapping that thing through every break and forcing it into navigation mode (to activate GPS) as much as possible.

I've let management know it's going to die and have received radio silence all day long. The moment it shuts down I'm driving back and sitting around waiting for it to charge while getting paid overtime. This company is fucking stupid.

It's friday night, lets read wikipedia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Thompson_(businessman) (Talk):

A request that this article title be changed to Killing of Brian Thompson is under discussion. Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed.

Talk:Brian Thompson (businessman) > Requested move 4 December 2024

It has been proposed in this section that Brian Thompson (businessman) be renamed and moved to Killing of Brian Thompson.

So at first I thought it would be funner to have the seperate "killing of" page, but after reading the marketplace of ideas WP talk page, I am leaning towards the idea that keeping them together is the right way.

Those who "support" are basically saying there isn't anything to say about him except the manner of his death. These monsters love to keep a low profile.

Killing of Brian Thompson - Wikipedia

Talk:Killing of Brian Thompson > Video

I have uploaded the video of the shooting (right) under a PD-automated rationale, but since this will 100% be disputed, I'll bring up the question: Should this be included in the article? Please remember that Wikipedia is not censored and that while some people may not like it, information here is vital. EF5

Uh, I don't much care for "Should this be included in the article? Please remember that if you say 'no' you're a cossack, besides which your personal editorial opinion is no interest here here" tone, colleague. Surely there are better ways to state your case about this particular editorial question. Herostratus

Killing of Brian Thompson (Talk):

In response to the killing, public officials including Minnesota governor and former Democratic vice president nominee Tim Walz and Senator Amy Klobuchar, expressed dismay and offered condolences to the family. Walz said that he knew Thompson.[32] House representative Dean Phillips wrote that he was "horrified by the assassination of my constituent, Brian Thompson, this morning in NYC and have his family in my prayers."[33]

Thompson's widow, Paulette, released a statement after the killing saying that she and her family are "shattered by the senseless killing" and called her husband an "incredibly loving, generous, talented man" and "incredibly loving father to our two sons".[30] Shortly following the death, two of the houses owned by Thompson’s family were swatted.[34]

👤👥

Both CVS Health, which operates Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare removed photographs and other information about their executive leadership from their websites following Thompson's killing.[35][36] Additionally, the days following Thompson's death saw a surge in inquiries about protective services and security for CEOs and corporate executives, according to Allied Universal.[37] Michael Sherman, the former chief medical officer at Point32Health, justified the concerns of health insurance executives, saying, "It doesn’t seem paranoid to worry that someone who’s had services denied that they may believe are important might be in an emotionally unstable state."[38] Referring to the online response to Thompson's death, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, who runs the Chief Executive Leadership Institute (CELI) at Yale said, "we’ve seen the frightening, uncanny conversion of angry and deranged people."[37]

After the killing, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association reversed a controversial decision to place time limits on coverage for surgical anesthesia in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri.[39]

If you want to nullify a law as a member of a jury, don’t talk about jury nullification:

• during jury selection
• during the trial
• in private with any other jury member
• during verdict deliberation

There is no Michael Scott moment where you “declare nullification”.

Even if the defendant is on camera and appears to commit the crime; if the defendant admitted to committing the crime; if the defendant shook your hand and said, “send me to prison, I’m guilty” — you simply decide that you did not see sufficient evidence that the defendant is guilty.

The moment you talk about jury nullification, you will be removed from the jury and/or cause a mistrial.

Just a friendly tip to those who want to serve their civic duty!

...is that he can't tell anyone about it. It's like being a superhero and having to hide your identity. I hope he has a few ride-or-die homies that know so he can celebrate.
