“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

    They’re fucking terrified. The reaction of the public to this assassination has shocked them. They understand that they need to crush this guy and they need to crush the swell of public support or this is the end of unfettered capitalism. When the few have everything and the many have nothing the many rise up and take back everything and the cycle starts again. Every single dollar in every rich guy’s bank account came from the hard work of non-rich people. There are thousands of them and hundreds of millions of us. We can just rise up and take what they have. They have to stop this before it builds and before the majority realize that we can do it.

      They expected us to go “We don’t condone violence!” or “Think of the billionaires!”

      They weren’t ready for him to go down as a folk heroes, and honestly if it weren’t for places like Lemmy he wouldn’t have because the corponet will ban your ass for cheering at this.

        For the moment they might be right. People are cheering this guy on but I haven’t heard about any protests. People don’t seem to be angry enough right now.

          Him killing a CEO won’t start protests, but if they ratchet down more restrictions, perhaps. I honestly don’t really see it happening. We’ll just be pissed off in silence.
