Poisoning Socrates was done because it was "good for society". I'm frankly even more suspicious of "good for society" than the average untrustworthy board of directors.
- exe34 2y agoseriously? you're more worried about what your elected officials might legislate than what a board of directors whose job is to make profits go brrr at all costs, including poisoning the environment, exploiting people and avoiding taxes?
- fastball 2y agoThe vast majority of businesses do none of those things.
- exe34 2y agoand the vast majority of elected officials didn't kill Socrates.
- arandomusername 2y agoDidn't vast majority of elected officials vote for war in Iraq, Vietnam and Afghanistan? Vast majority of elected officials are crooks that take millions from foreign interest groups (e.g AIPAC) and from corporations - and make laws in their favour.
- exe34 2y agoweren't the us invited to defend the democratic government of Vietnam? weren't the taleban hiding al quaeda who attacked the US? didn't Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons against his own people? are you comparing all these people with Socrates?
- arandomusername 2y agoDid the people want to participate in Vietnam? Get drafted so that they can die thousand of miles away from home? > didn't Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons against his own people? You can't argue that when US is providing weapons to Israel which are directly used to massacre thousands of innocents. That was just an excuse to the public > are you comparing all these people with Socrates? No, my point is that the government does not act in the interest of people or in the interest of upholding human rights.
