    “Spark” class war?
    Some people exploiting and killing the less fortunate among us for decades is not an already ongoing class war then. Alright, probably because no one fights back. It has been a massacre from one side so far.

    “Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.

    God, they’re soooo close…

      That’s the executives job, is to be the public face you blame when in reality they’re just the generals and colonels appointed by the shareholders.

        Yes. They’re already disposable by design. CEOs with controlling stake are rare precisely because appointing majority stakeholders to run the company forfeits the advantage of liability encapsulation.

        There are exceptions, of course, such as founders retained for their institutional knowledge and track record, but these are generally exclusive to younger corporations.

    “Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy corporate executives,” the fusion center memo says.

    Because a lot of them are caused by the influence of wealthy corporate executives. They’re legally bound to bring in profits for shareholders, but that doesn’t mean they have to do it by being scumbag human beings, lesser than insects.

    By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many.

    What do they mean “effectively”??

    This IS dedicating public resources to ensuring the safety of the wealthy view, and is metaphorically and literally at the expense of the many.

    The “Quarterly Executive Threat Watch” bulletin warned corporate bodyguards to switch up the daily routines of execs, limit information on public engagements, and remove bosses’ personal information from the web. The report says bosses should “remain vigilant of lone offenders with personal grievances.”

    “Following the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the current political climate, there is a heightened threat environment surrounding corporate executives,” the report says. “Online glorification of the murder of Brian Thompson and calls for violence are still apparent and further create a risk for a lone offender attack.”

    Honestly, I don’t think it’s wrong to let these scumbags who chose money over humanity live in constant paranoia that the one of the many they’ve screwed over will eventually come out to get them.

    If they wanted to live normal lives, they could have chosen a different, more ethical path.

    No, it’ll be AI that does this.

    I mean, two nice things are welcome, though. I’m okay if we do both. I just don’t have hope in it happening.

    Delusional. American business and leadership ideology causes the class war. And I’m sure a class war will be used to further fuck up humanity for those already in power. The same as ever, nothing gets done happens if it doesn’t benefit them.

    Americans citizens, the regular average human being here, are like toddlers caged in a play pen with toys, unaware of the reality of the adults around them that control their world. And they take pride in it. Same probably goes for other nations… It’s all the same evil. Mainstream or street. Legal or illegal. It’s all the same game just scaled differently.
