I literally just figured lemmy out to get away from that Nazi sympathizing, boot licking shithole it got turned into once redditors became products for advertisers.
Fuck Reddit, Nazi lives don’t matter, the world would be a demonstrably better place if we rounded up the billionaires, relieved them of their wealth, and redistributed it through society.
Which side are you on?
Someone really should make a film about hunting down the 1%. “Slaughter at The Wal-a-Go House”, where Wiff Mezos, Alan Masque, Ronald Krump, and others each suffer appropriate ends.
Ronald Krump
I almost choked on that one, good one. Meet the Krumps!
I would guess you wouldn’t be able to see it anywhere, like the gaza documentary that won the oscars.
Remember that access to entertainment is controlled by the same group of people the movie would speak against
So the purge, but what we’d all actually do?
You have committed a crime.
Decapitate the CEOs 🤡
Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn’t enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don’t need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.
Why do they all layoff workers who actually do the thing? Why do they always leave in layers of management? What’s up with return to office, why is zoom of all companies doing it?
It’s consulting companies like McKinsey. They go to the board and say “you need a strong CEO to boost stock price”. Then they go investment groups and say “look at this strong CEO, you should invest in this company”
The worst part is what McKinsey thinks makes for a “strong” CEO means they’re specialized at doing something, usually something evil
I made one a little while back and posted it to Lemmy, mods nuked it. 🤷
Sure, but a corporation didn’t nuke it…
👍
Someone want to explain why I should be murdered for running my own construction business?
Are you a multi-millionaire stealing from, and causing the deaths of many of your customers? If not, then you’re not even noticeable…
Is your small construction business even publicly traded, or do you not understand what a CEO is?
Either way, you are clearly getting your panties in a bunch over nothing. Noone on this side is against small businesses.
Aww look he thinks it’s about him! So cute, poor little guy with a victim complex
Victim harder in your edit. No one said they are coming after you. People have explicitly said billion dollar corporations.
The picture says “CEO” not “CEO of a billion dollar corporation” Nobody has explicitly said it’s about billion dollar corporations. Atleast not in this thread except for you right now.
I think maybe you need to understand nuance.
Are you even reading the replies to you?
“You’re not big enough to warrant…”
“Your cute little business…”
What part of these replies do you not comprehend?
You’re the one who said explicitly - I think you meant implicitly.
Jesus you must be insufferable as a boss.
“Well acccctuaallllly…”
If you can’t put two and two together with a meme posted online and what’s going on in the world you are living under a rock my dude and I question your IQ to run a business.
I’ve been nothing but polite and asked a simple, reasonable question. You, on the other hand, showed up with hostility, personal insults, and zero interest in an actual conversation. If calmly pointing out inconsistencies makes me “insufferable,” maybe that says more about you than it does about me.
And I told you. I showed you replies where people said you are not the problem, then you diverted to that pedantic BS. My “hostility” is because you are an obvious troll. When people respond to your comment you pivot somewhere else. But since it needs to be spelled out for you.
The public discourse for a while, seriously like 8 months now you are under a rock, has been an opposition to large corporations that are monopolies in their industries. They leave consumers with no options and force decisions on people ultimately harming them for greed, whether it be draining their paychecks or actually killing them. People believe, and this is a hot take, murder is bad. But there are no consequences for their actions. You can’t go somewhere else. They own everything. You can’t arrest them. They spend their money on buying the law aka lobbying. So people have resorted to the eye for an eye mentality. These memes are a play on that.
Now the meme itself is talking about a target season. And since you like everything to be explicit so much. Acccctuaallllly there is no mention of hurting anyone in this meme. A target could also be “egging their house, launching a protest on their front lawn”. Am I stupid enough to think that? Nah. But you’re the one who hates assuming things.
If it’s your business, change your title to something other than CEO. Problem solved!
I’m looking for answers, not solutions.
So you’re not actually worried that people want to harm you for being a CEO. There’s the answer.
If you’re so reluctant to actually try and answer the straightforward question I asked, then why bother replying at all? What are you trying to achieve with these evasive, facetious responses?
Just having fun taunting sea lions.
Ha! There’s a name for this? This hits the nail on the head.
Just because you like to put “CEO” on your LinkedIn doesn’t actually make you one being talked about. It’s talking about CEOs of large companies who are responsible for destroying countless lives.
When you start wielding wealth and resources as a weapon against humanity, then you are the problem. In a just society, these people would simply not exist, or at least, we’d have the means to quickly remove them from power if they somehow found a means to abuse society. However, we do not live in a just society, or one where justice is actually a guiding principle. We live in a capitalist society that enforces its will through violence, and only truly responds to violence. There is a very, very good reason that Luigi struck such a chord with so many people.
Then maybe the people spreading this meme should be a bit more specific with their messaging, because all I’m hearing is “CEO bad” - and yeah, I feel somewhat threatened by that, since technically it applies to me too, even though I don’t really consider myself one in practice.
If I got murdered and the headline read “CEO killed,” I can easily imagine the cheering in places like Lemmy, where nuance often seems to go out the window.
Bro, nuance is for serious discussion and Monty Python sketches, not cheap jokes like OP.
It’s funny that you’re complaining about a lack of nuance when being completely unable to discern it yourself based on your reaction to the meme.
What’s the nuance I’m supposedly missing here? I’ve criticized the “ACAB” slogan before and asked people directly if they truly mean every single cop without exception - and more than once, the answer has been yes. So excuse me if I’m not feeling especially charitable in how I interpret a meme that’s already completely unreasonable to begin with, no matter how you read it.
Oh, honey. You’re not nearly a big enough fish to warrant being taken out. This is about the CEOs of large, harmful corporations that regularly fuck everyone over with pure greed, not the CEO of a random construction business.
I don’t see such nuance in any of this discussion.
It’s right there, you’re replying to the nuance, you dingus. He’s literally adding nuance and you reply “oh well I guess there’s no nuance then!” How stupid are you?
Are you a wizard?
do you regularly fuck over your employees/clientele?
Mhmm they haven’t replied. I guess they do. Equality for some is oppression for others.
I’m getting the vibes they do, given how defensive they are getting over a subject not even in their zip code.
Lol. You think it’s about you and your cute little “business”.
And why are you being so dismissive of my “business” then if it’s not even about me? Seriously. Please explain yourself.
Because you’re not the problem so you’re not the target. The world isn’t always about you.
If I’m not the problem, then why are you here insulting me and my “cute little business” instead of actually answering my question?
Because you’re a big boy and don’t need to be pandered to.
If you’re not using your company to kill Americans for shareholder profit, why would you think it’s about you?
Because you come off as someone who thinks the world is about them. So they are being insulting at the same time explaining you are not the problem.
Lemmy has some of the most unhinged stuff I’ve seen online
Someone hasn’t been to 4chan (rip)
and that’s what makes this place great
What, far left extremism?
In the age of polarization we don’t need more extremism on either side
What’s extreme is what the CEO’s of many major corporations have done to this country. This is just a joke with cartoons, it harms nothing. Calling this extreme is absolutely absurd.
Oh no, ‘extemeism’ like demanding basic human rights, public services, and ending the wealth disparity caused by capitalism. How scary. Definitely as equally scary as far right extremism that’s about genocide, fascism, and imperialism. What an enlightened centrist take
I don’t see anything extremist about this.
As long as there’s at least one person calling it out in the comments, I still have a bit of faith left in humanity. But I agree - it’s bizarre how little self-awareness there is sometimes. Nobody actually wants to live in the kind of world I see people advocating for here on a daily basis - not even the ones advocating for it.
I’ve never seen a platform that hates CEOs more than Lemmy. I get not liking the people who seem to completely abuse the system but wanting to murder all CEOs seems like a questionable take. It us sad that there are only like three people here who think murder is problematic.
I’ve never seen a platform that hates CEOs more than Lemmy.
aww thank you :)
Honestly I think it is better to hate particular companies not people. CEOs are disposable and can be replaced. The one exception to that might be founders of the company but even at that they still can be fired if the company is publicly traded.
Judging by the hostility, it seems that questioning these murderous fantasies is treated as just as unforgivable as being a CEO.
If capital owners agree to give up their stolen wealth, there is no issue. Killing is a hyperbole, like Eat the Rich, unless the capitalist class declares militant war on the workers and leaves no other choice but armed resistance. Incarceration is a perfectly acceptable punishment and rehabilitation is the correct way to reintegrate criminals back into Society.
unhinged
Weird way to write based.
I was thinking the same thing but they do have a point, to which my response is how could you possibly be hinged? it is 2025 after all
How so?
making and up voting memes about murder
They live under a rock. At the end of a cul-de-sac. In Salt Lake.
Not a pineapple under the sea?
No. SLC zoning laws don’t allow for fruity domeciles, in every sense of the word.
Its approved by the only people who matter (workers) :3
One of the most unnecessary motherfuckers of all time
I’m from Reddit, and I approve this meme.
Stop claiming that shit, friend. This is a better place, free from shit mods and rampant bots
so we think
Yeah there are some power-trippers and we might have to replace the internet at some point like in cyberpunk, cant lie though, I’d definitely be worse off without Lemmy.
Upvoted… am I on a list now?
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM
You interact with the fediverse.
You’re on at least 3 terrorist watchlists. Period.
You always been
Not in the fediverse
There are admins/mods on the fediverse, even on Lemmy specifically, who do monitor voting actions and may respond with punitive actions such as bans.
See dubvee.org. They are like the ban equivalent of the Mormon church’s genealogy records.
But they don’t just auto-ban you for mentioning a Nintendo character
.world wanted to with Luigi. The admins wanted to crack down on it but the users said no.
That’s how I got banned. It was either that or I upvoted the wrong post or maybe posted a reply with an “Eat the rich” gif.
I mean if you want to move the goalposts to mean that specifically, then sure, to my knowledge you’d be correct so far. Doesn’t mean the medium is categorically immune from that happening though.
The fediverse is fundamentally more resistant to that type of shit tho, cuz mods and even instance owners can’t piss off too many users without the community migrating elsewhere. The split in the memes community between .ml and .world is a perfect example
Let me check…
Sorry to say, we found your name on the list of cool people! High five!
I’m glad that my natural pessimism stopped me from being disappointed that they weren’t any Luigi copycats on account of never expecting it in the first place.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
