Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸
Shanmugha@lemmy.world 1 day agoMay be we do. One thing that has been stuck in my head for a long while: I have something to lose, and I have people to care about, same as many others. So I am not running around killing every bastard. But - there are people who have nothing to lose, no family etc. - what about them?
The answer may be quite simple: even when they do punish some bastards, I do not get to hear about this, because guess who controls the media. Yes, it doesn’t cover “haven’t heard anything like it at all” - but making it “almost didn’t hear about it” for me is definitely possible

All I’m going to say is that squeezing the middle class like they have been is going to create a lot terminally ill people with otherwise treatable disease. Those people may very well be incredibly pissed off, along with family, and also have the time and resources to do things that might be life-ending anyway.
Yup. The further it goes, the more catastrophic “boom” will follow

Did they just amplify the Brian Thompson story so we’d think “wow this must be rare”? His alleged shooter Luigi Mangione might get off, and the public loves him.
