    I’m still not convinced it was actually him. The way he was arrested and all that damning evidence supposedly found on him is super sus. They needed to catch someone quickly to show the public so the movement doesn’t spread, and this might be just the show we were given

      If he was being framed, he would of said so when the cameras were on him but he did the opposite.

      I think he doesn’t deserve any time but it’s clear he is the shooter after what he said, unless they are blackmailing him or something.

        We’ve all seen that. What I’m saying is I’m not convinced that guy isn’t just acting the part. Security theater

          Like an actor going for a lifesentence? I’m not saying it’s impossible but it strikes me as highly unlikely. I don’t know what payday they could have offered him. I also figure they would have chosen someone uglier.

      Agreed, honestly. Maybe it was, but there’s a lot of coincidence.

        I dont really follow this stuff since we have much bigger fish to fry but I donate to causes and share them as much as I can. Also looking at all the injustice-porn out there would mean I cant do these things anymore.

          Same. You have to choose, I get that. One that I’ve recently focused on is the Innocence Project https://innocenceproject.org/

      Yeah, I’ve never gotten over that… It is just so strange. And the note was so sloppy and brief.

    Surprised the powers that be hadn’t pressured gofundme or wherever to disallow donations to the guy given the wide ranging and rapid smear campaign dude faced.

      That’s exactly what happened when it was first started on GoFundMe, now it’s on something called GiveSendGo. I imagine they’re using it like an ad for their platform instead

      I love this, but I also I got a small chuckle at a webstore selling an “abolish capitalism” shirt. I’ll definitely get the sailor moon one.

        It likely won’t be up for very long. Lots of trademark/copyright infringement on there, and you know how the American elite feel about that.

    How many countries have a death penalty? The US is probably only in the company of non-democratic countries.

      Japan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Taiwan.

      There’s actually quite a few. Mainly in Asia and Africa, a couple places still have it on the books even if it isn’t carried out.

This community is the first one on lemmy of its kind. It sits between the idea of anarchism/anti-capitalism and left leaning economic policy.

Our goal is to make people aware of the dangers of corporate control, its influence on governments and people as well as the small but steady abrasion of empathy around the world indirectly caused by it.

Current topics this includes but is not limited to:

  • Meta’s entry into the fediverse
  • Game companies putting gambling mechanics in childrens games
  • Embracer groups buyout and closing of smaller game studios
  • IP trolls destroying small companies and keeping progress back for profit

Feel free to debate this but beware, corporate rhetoric is not welcome here. If you have arguments, bring them on. If its rhetoric trying to defend the evil actions of corporations, we will know and you will go.

Our declared goal so far is to have all companies and individuals worldwide capped at 999 mil USD in all assets, including ownership of other companies, sister companies and marital assets. The reason for this is that companies (and individuals) are not supposed to resemble small(?) countries with a single leader(-board) and shareholder primacy. Thats why we feel like they must be kept in check indefinitely.

But companies will just wander off The argument that large companies will just wander off is valid, which we embrace. We dont need microsoft, apple, google, amazon and other trillion dollar companies. There are small competitors being kept small and driven into brankruptcy by anti competitive behavior of these giants or simply bought up and closed. If starbucks left tomorrow, we would not have an issue with this.

But then we have x little microsofts that all belong to the same person(s) If in fact nobody was allowed to accumulate more than 999 mil in assets, they would not be able to own all these. And like defending agains burglary, it is not about complete defence but time and effort. You only have to keep the thief occupied long enough for them to be caught, give up or make a mistake.

But these giants have tons of IP which would then limit our growth Thats another topic we must touch on. We will (only this one time) take a page out of russias playbook and demand that IP of non complying companies (assets over 999 mil USD) will be declared invalid, which opens them up to be copied.

But then they will “live” in one country that doesnt accept this Correct, and they should be taken into custody the moment they enter the airspace of a country that supports this act.
