Thank you for stating that point. I really want to like lemmy as I deleted my reddit account and generally like the idea of a federated system a lot more. The people celebrating this murder as and act of heroism has disgusted me to the core. That it’s so widely believed violence and self-justice will solve the root cause of this system when it will just affect a symptom but not solve anything in the long run.

From nearly all ethical standpoints this murder was unethical and unjust. I wish I could just turn this discussion off on lemmy since its strong bias of this echo chamber is strongly noticeable. I too hope and think the jury will find a decision that is just.

The only way where I see violence justified is in authoritarian dictatorships, where the public has no sovereignty and the dictator acts willingly harmful to their populace in either exploiting them, attacking them and killing them. Other than that probably in self-defence and situation of war. But this is a completely different scenario. Killing a CEO since you don’t like their company.

Whats next? Killing somebody because you don’t like their face? But I guess we agree on that notion.

Your whole argument that every execs deserve to die got disproved as you can not generalize like everyone as part of this group and your response that this Individuum is like the one to get an exception? How does killing executives change anything? In the current system its a post that needs to be filled and in don’t think its an outrageous statement to say self-justice and murder shouldn’t be used unless they’re last resort and its not like a CEO is the owner of a company that can do whatever they want to steer it. Although they have quite a bit of leeway

There is no reason for him to sign his tweets

I would say there is no definitive “Left” or “Right”. It depends on which countries policies we are basing this on. If I compare German politics to US politics you would not even consider the Democrats as the left — It shifts with each country.

I think while the political compass doesn’t show every aspects it shows that there are more attributes to consider when talking about political direction.

While I for example might consider myself socially progressive and more on the left side on the spectrum I’d also consider myself more conservative when it comes to fiscal policy for example. That’s why I also argue there is no single correct political orientation if you want to be a good person.

I’d argue Fairphones are pretty close although I’d probably go with a custom FOSS rom

I mean I use a fairphone with /e/OS from Murena. This solves the issue of open source and upgradability/replacability mostly for me. I like the idea of bare linux phones but the hardware and software is just not there yet. I used an iPhone before that and while I miss some aspects of apple hardware I am really happy to be able to just replace parts without this tremendous glue they put in their phone and like 20 different screws and steps to replace one part. Besides some minor inconveniences the switch was definitely the right move!

I would say that it is also a fault of the device if it encourages this brain-dead overindulgence that is clearly of the interest of many big advertisement companies. You can choose a device and OS tho and install apps that lessen the effect, but an simpler phone might not have all the bells and whistles but can get you quite far without offering such a possibility to lose hours off your brain just turned off.

Ja also von den Traditionellen Volksparteien ist Scholz halt auch neben Merz der einzelne Topkandidat. Wie die Umfragewerte aktuell aussehen ist eine andere Frage!

Once they start rolling out more mini cabins I hope it will become more affordable. I think this can be the future to expand sleeper trains to a wider audience

… And you’re not acting condescending at all towards me

If you work for a company and it goes bankrupt you don’t get your entire private shit seized. You can find a new company to work for. Starting a company based on debt is inherently risky. This comparison isn’t really as great as you think it is.

Depends, the market for a high quality CEO is really competitive and they are at least for most companies still needed for the overall strategie and coherent direction. I understand your point tho in discrepancy between workers and CEO wage. A company usually doesn’t do this just to make their CEO rich, they do it as shareholders because they think it is in their best interest

I don’t think billionaires shouldn’t exist necessarily, I do think homeless people shouldn’t exist tho.

I’m german. I’ve learned about her in history and this is my opinion and your comment assuming I don’t know what I’m talking about is very telling. Seems like you have a really good-faith argument on your hand

Where do I stop with the murder? Whats the criteria to be evil and deserve to die? Who decides what justice is? I agree that its a slippery slope and its why I think self justice like this is more self righteousness than anything

Then you’d need a majority in democracy to vote in their interests. But they voted for Trump, a man who wants to get rid of the ACA and impose senseless tariffs on all countries while cutting down on regulation that keeps people save and installing his own unhinged lackeys. Harsh rhetoric, but I want to say the American people have voted against their interest, and if political pressure was there change would be possible. I like that this issue is getting attention but I strongly question people calling for more murder and chaos.

I liked the build up but the conclusion really made no sense. Yes, capitalism needs to be strictly regulated and sectors that are irreplaceable and are too important to fail can’t be trusted with private companies. I agree with that notion. If you ask for a 100 mio. max wealth tax then you don’t really understand the meaning of wealth. If I start a company and my company gets valued at over 100 mio dollars what should I do? Sell parts of my company? Net worth is not like money on your bank account, and if other people value it so highly and I’m forced to sell parts of it this money won’t really go into public hands. For one someone needs to buy it, with their capped monetary assets, and secondly only because a company is valued at a certain point doesn’t mean you create more productivity or money out of thin air.

I think its one of the reasons reddit will never reach the mainstream like reddit. For one people find it confusing to find a community which I disagree with, you just need to take a slight effort to understand that you have a choice of community and in return you get great freedom. Since its mostly for more techies I and its overwhelmingly like left, people with moderate right views will feel like they’re completely out of place.

Im also sad that many of the bigger communities like ml have unhinged mods that ban for anyone disagreeing with them. For example some calls for violence being overwhelmingly onesided on here made me feel sick at times. But I don’t feel like sparking that debate over here.

It is disgusting to compare a murderer to Anne Frank
