    As they say, every accusation is a confession. The cops would do it. They would go shoot health care CEOs if they got fucked the way many Americans get fucked every day.

    They know the health care CEOs are evil pieces of shit, but they don’t give a fuck as long as they don’t get fucked over personally… Otherwise, the advice would be, “Tell your bosses to stop being evil pieces of shit, FFS.”

      Class war has not started, it’s been one sided forever. The other side has been distracted by race wars in order to not fight back.

    “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.
