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 mean assuming the story was true, there is a story of unpaid disgruntled north korean workers in china who killed their factory manager over unpaid wages. that would fit the bill right?

      There’s been several incidents like that. The popular anecdote is the one about workers who killed a manager during a violent strike and the police siding with the workers.

      The other one that I’m familiar with is the incident where Han workers made up some sexual assault story about Uyghur workers and there was a huge fight that resulted in some deaths. The police arrested the Han workers and executed the guy who was responsible for spreading rumors that led to the bloody fights.
