As an American the most surprising thing about the reaction to the CEO being killed is supposedly the system is bad enough where killing people is okay but I don't know many people who vote in primary elections or care about local elections (which are where many people have the most influence on the system) and I also know some people who didn't even vote in the general election.
To be clear: This isn't me saying we shouldn't kill CEOs, this is me saying I think more people should vote in primaries and also try to make change on a local level

- roenxi 2y ago> This isn't me saying we shouldn't kill CEOs... You probably should be saying that. As you point out, people haven't really exhausted the reasonable recourses so there is no reason to resort to unreasonable ones. Gunning people down on the street to exercise political pressure is barbaric and intolerable.
- tdb7893 2y agoI'm not saying we should either, it's more that discussing it on the internet feels like a waste of my time and the morality of it isn't my point
- jwagenet 2y agoI think the political pipeline is too slow for local activism to meaningfully impact state and national politics. People want to see change now, or at least progress in a 1-2 year timeframe.
