Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?
Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?
While it's very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it's been bothering me that I can't shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).
Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.
I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what's the most likely answer.
You're viewing a single thread.
No... Lemmy is, but Lemmy is not indicative of society at large, hell, the Internet is not indicative of society at large.
Look at the last US election, if we were going to Eat the Rich would we have elected a putative billionaire candidate backed by Elon Musk?
I mean, kind of. Conservatives don't view Donald Trump and Elon Musk as the wealthy elite that they are. They view them as "political outsiders". So yeah, people want change from the status quo, because the status quo is broken for so many.
That's what fake news is trying to say...
Also, many people on here stated from the start kamala and her DNC komissars are incompetent imbiciles for which they promptly banned from politics and news subs.
So just because mods silence comments sense reasoning, doesn't mean that it ain't out there.
Plenty of comments in Politics about how dumb the Democratic campaign was, the bans were for calling them perpetrators of a genocide, which is false.
Love your continued moderation of your communities into an echo chamber by removing opinions that $ ~> murder could ever be considered perpetration of murder.
Don’t get me wrong you are free to disagree, but censorship of the opposing position is so toothlessly lame. Glad people are noticing how ineffectual and cringe your moderation practices are.
Fringe elements are gonna fringe, I get way more thanks for dealing with nonsense than hate.
“fringe elements gonna fringe” says the mod who gets pummeled with downvotes every time this happens
tell me more about that “fringe” in light of that fat ratio 💪💪😎🦅
