  • Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.

    Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.

    I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.

    (They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)



  • It’s nothing unless it happens directly to them, meaning the CEOs/wealthy. One death is a one-off. They’ll review or “enhance” their corporate security procedures which will consist of: telling already abused and overworked front line workers to watch some corporate security video and who to report suspicious people to. Tell middle managers to keep an eye on employees for suspicious behavior. Upper management will create the plan and worry unnecessarily it might be them targeted because they’re this close to actually being important. And the C-suite might actually get an occasional bodyguard, guard at home, or block access to the c-suite unless approved by said guard. Maybe. Most of them won’t GAF except a minor twinge of worry washed away by their next $75 glass of fine wine at a Michelin starred restaurant.





  • Did they even try? Social media was absolutely flooded with non-stop comments about egg prices, gas prices, housing costs, Israel’s war, money to Ukraine, money going to immigrants after the hurricane, blaming a VP for not making policy changes, and then a dump of various conspiracy theories and religious posts.

    I really mean flooded.

    Then it disappeared as soon as trump won.

    Sure, there was official campaign material for public presentation on msm, but there was a well-funded online blitz in the months leading up to the election.
