For the amount of references to people defending CEOS and billionaires, I never actually see any unless I walk by a TV blaring Fox News.
Come to Germany. We had a wealth tax until 1996 and whenever it’s revival is publicly discussed you can see that the majority is against it even when the majority of our people would never have to pay it and would profit from it. It’s mind boggling that the people are still willing to defend our current “don’t tax the rich” policy…
Yeah the whole AfD situation is extremely worrying to me.
It’s not even the AfD. Most of the politic parties don’t or at least didn’t want to touch wealth tax.
Rather than “it’s not even the AfD” it should say “It’s not only the AfD”.
Nobody I work with is on the same page as me about this subject, but they also don’t know enough about it to feel comfortable disagreeing with me. I think a lot of people relate more to a CEO than Luigi for the simple fact that they think or feel that it’s more likely for them to be in the CEOs position than a shooter. As delusional as that is, it’s a factor that has always put the working class against themselves.
You don’t have to pick a side. You could just say Brian Thompson deserved to die and that Luigi Mangione should see trial and possibly imprisonment.
You can see some in this very thread
So they’re in the room with us right now? Can you describe them to us?
Threads on Lemmy are open for everyone to see, isn’t that neat?
Fascinating. Are they there all the time or only when you think about them? Is there a specific trigger that causes you to see them?
My younger brother. He is entirely sold on billionaire philanthropy and believes Elon is a visionary genius that constantly finds ways to upturn the status quo.
He also thinks Jeff Bezos is a nice guy because he’s so nice in interviews.

Also, maybe the players are tired and grumpy after the match.
The fans are why they make millions dribbling a ball though. A simple high five is not a lot to ask.
True. But athletes are still people and they are allowed to be themselves.
As a photographer I’m wondering why would billionaires give autofocus about poor people…
