IMO shooting CEOs will just bring more repression and give an authoritarian government a sens of legitimacy

I agree. That’s what I said on Wednesday: https://lemmy.ml/post/23216334/15339156

<davel> As cathartic as it may be, assassinating CEOs will do nothing but embiggen the police state.

<xxxxx> So centrist of you.

<davel> This is not coming from a centrist position: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adventurism

So we agree on that. It's my main point, I'm not defending CEOs, I'm just not going to cheer for some random street execution. The fact that the video of this murder is being shared and celebrate that much really makes me inconfortable. Seems to me like a very american solution to a very american problem. I wouldnt have thought people here would be that much pro-violence. People can ball me a "lib" or a centrist as much as they want, I'm not celebrating arbitrary murder nor watching that video.

I think you’re reading more bloodlust in this outpouring of catharsis & outrage than is actually there. People are expressing righteous anger, not murderous intent.

Maybe. I hope so.
