Fuck these mods.
We need better communities, ASAP.
Celebs have that pesky parasocial relationship with their fans, attacks on them are interpreted as attacks on the in-group. Attacking then just inspires their fans to violent revenge.
By comparison almost no one gives a shit if a CEO is murdered.
Irrelevant when both are part of the same problem.
Edit: also LOL at removal for "promoting violence" given the actual article being discussed.
It's relevant because people will take up arms for their celebrity crushes. They become martyrs.
No one cares when CEOs die.
Charlie Kirk was the cofounder and CEO of Turning Point.
Sam Altman, Elon Musk, the McMahons, Mark Zuckerberg.....
Point, but he's a celebrity first.
Elon Musk might be similar in that he also cultivates his own popularity, but most CEOs are either unknown or generally hated by everyone on all sides. No one knew who Brian Thompson was before he was killed and most people either didn't care or were happy he died, and there were Republicans that were happy he died.
There's a lesson to learn here.
...
As far as I can tell, healthcare is not "fixed" or even "back on track". You'd be hard-pressed to find another industry as loathed as insurance for healthcare, too.
It still wouldn't address the issues in the linked article, which is much more widespread and specifically includes those celebrity ceo's.
Check the roster of board members before CEOs. CEOs are still working class people (often, anyway…)
The real monsters are nameless, faceless ghouls pulling strings out of sight. Besides the obvious puppet ghouls you see on the news every day, of course. But if you know who they are, that’s on purpose. History’s going to write a lot about the “useful idiot”, best exemplified by Trump.
Most CEOs are also board members themselves. But that's a valid point. There's not a single board member of a public corporation that isn't absurdly wealthy.
