It seems people will do absolutely anything except take their anger out on people who might deserve it.

Beat your wife and kids? OK

Run over brown people with your truck? Terrific idea

Shoot your boss? What, never

Well, I know why, it’s because the media rallies themselves to get you all riled up about the gays and the browns, so your rage won’t have any consequence

They do the same with Islamic extremists in eg Pakistan, funnel people into stupid fundamentalist orgs so they won’t look into Marxism, and bonus points, the extremist orgs you’re propping up will even hunt communists themselves, the same way conservatives in the US despise anything socialist (in the UK we don’t know what communists are, we just hate scroungers, trans and immigrints 😡)

Kind of following up from my post the other day about CEO salaries, still thinking about it, I honestly don’t get how senior management are able to kid themselves when they only earn £200k themselves, real serf behaviour

      I think about this a lot, too! Like, there are a ton of people who have suffered or died because their insurance company denied them treatment. And yet none of them nor their loved ones ever just walked into their insurance’s corporate office and took out the board members? Never even heard of someone trying.

        Many of the “popular” mass shootings are done by the right, and they still believe that capitalism is based so shooting up a corporate meeting would make them look like a communist. Even the Neo Nazis who do this fall back into supporting capitalism because they often support politicians and policies that are pushed by capitalists. They’ll shoot up a bunch of white kids because they think Biden is a communist, but then support Trump in their manifestos lol.
