You know what does improve society? Open, wanton violence against the lower classes by the wealthy without any repercussions whatsoever. 🙂‍↕️

Alternatively: what he is doing is causing immense suffering on a societal level and if he stopped doing it many people would live when they would otherwise die.

If the government is unable or unwilling to stop him, or even stop accelerating what he’s doing, then there are other options.

not with these piddly, passant efforts, but mass, violence has often accomplished mass civil change for the better!

• The French Revolution (1789) — Violent overthrow of the monarchy and aristocracy dismantled feudalism and established the principle of popular sovereignty, which reverberated across Europe for a century.

• The American Revolution (1775–1783) — Armed insurrection against British rule produced one of the first modern constitutional republics.

• The Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) — The only successful slave revolt in history, producing the first Black republic and striking a massive blow against the Atlantic slave trade.

• The Glorious Revolution (1688) — Though relatively brief, it involved armed invasion and overthrow of James II, producing constitutional monarchy and the English Bill of Rights.

Viva la Revolution!

Since when is Scam Altman on Lemmy??

You're just confused about violence.

It's violent to price people out of a dignified existence, it's just banal so you find it less scary.

Violence is defined by the World Health Organization in the WRVH as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation”.

If we do the violence and the threats to the people fucking us then it absolutely will help society.

Objectively false, and propaganda to preserve the sate's monopoly on violence.

Apart from United Healthcare rescinding a policy to charge for anaesthetic if an operation goes slightly wrong after their CEO was shot?

Enjoy the moral superiority of your pacifistic ideals while getting teabagged by ICE, I guess
