I mean sure, that's true of every state. But guys in custody rarely get suicided when a trial will have the desired outcome.

Executing a guy who caused a property bubble that caused such a huge loss of wealth for so many people seems like a desirable outcome for China; other capitalists will take note and do less fraud, and the workers will feel the system works.

What do you think would happen to the dem's popularity if in 2008, Obama dragged the executives of Wells Fargo and Bank of America out and shot them infront of the millions whose homes they stole via predatory lending and outright mortgage fraud, instead of giving them a slap on the wrist and a shitton of money?

No, it’s not true of every state.

The whole world isn’t as corrupt as China or Russia.

Umm, yes it is.

Boeing recently assassinated a whistleblower with impunity.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago

First off Boeing isn’t a state.

And that is purely a conspiracy that they killed him. It’s possible but there is zero evidence behind it.
