I guess the only way to enact real change in this country is to murder a billionaire...

I'm hoping for much more real change in this country, and I support anyone with enough heroism to murder a CEO.

It feels like the mods have given up on trying to keep the bloodlust for CEOs at bay. Every other thread is just littered with appreciation for the gunman. I'm quite ok with that.

Give them time, they are volunteers.

The majority of my post history since the heroic slaying of Brian Thompson is removed and post_no_longer_exists

Can we talk freely now? The causes of our problems have address. They can only promote so many executives before they wise up.

Freely? No, not completely.

But I will say how much I admire America's founding fathers. They recognized their chains, killed their oligarchs, and they didn't stop killing until they were truly free. "Live free or die", truly inspirational.

Not all CEOs are billionaires. We should focus on billionaires

Higher networth = more points for a successful kill.
