Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
eronth@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI agree with your premise, but we’re in a really fucked civilization right now where there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry. We’re not in a fair or stable civilization right now, which is why so many people are on team “nah I hope this guy gets away with it”.

This has been true for as long as civilization has been a thing; in fact it’s less of a thing now than it ever has been, the elites have never had so little power.
Which is to say they still have entirely too much and i also hope he gets away with it

The elites have never had so much power. They have mass media, global supply lines, armies of labor, enough capital to bend any government to their will, and those governments can destroy and subjugate in ways that the likes of Julius Caesar couldn’t have dreamed of.
