I would only be impressed if somebody actually did something about the conditions that created the CEO in the first place.

Bullets are famously ineffective against these conditions.

You can shoot a capitalist, but you can't shoot capitalism.

    You're talking about tens of millions of people.

    Not at all. I'm talking about a few hundred. Tops.

    Most people who identify as capitalists aren't. Theyre ideologues who like the idea of capitalism because they think theyll be the one wearing the boot stepping on all our necks one day. They don't own capital. They don't make fortunes leeching off the rest of us. They don't ruin lives or kill thousands via social murder by denying housing, food, or medicine to extract a rent.

    he wasn't even motivated against capitalism. he was an athlete who suffered from CTE and asked for his brain to be examined in a note before he shot himself in the chest with a rifle (something that requires a bit of forethought - he deliberately saved his brain for analysis). https://nypost.com/2025/07/29/us-news/nyc-shooter-shane-tamura-thanked-a-cte-documentary-and-listed-names-of-prominent-neuroscientists-in-suicide-note-sources/

    This was supposed to be anti pro-sports violence, I guess.

    I bet they won't even do a brain exam. It will be seen as "giving the killer what he wanted" and "disrespecting his victims" if they honor his request.

    Most importantly the NFL will get to keep pretending everything is fine.

    Or maybe they'll do the exam but the results will be inconclusive and the brain will end up misplaced so that his family can't have have their own tests done. Hell, the NFL might start adding clauses to contracts that require players to donate their bodies "to science" upon death. Don't they already require them to use "NFL approved" doctors? Anything to keep independent doctors from diagnosing CTE in their dead players.

    Can't even enjoy some sports without having to watch late stage capitalism grind humans into pieces.

    This has to be the most brain dead propaganda take on the internet right now. Yeah he totally didn’t mean to kill who he killed. It was all a happy accident

    Incorrect. Capitalism is failing in front of your eyes, you’re just not educated enough to know what it looks like.

    People are able to tighten up the belt if they believe in the cause. And you can even rewind the clock on the capitalist system to see that people were contributing more and taking less for themselves.

    Erosion of social structure was helped a LOT by targeted propaganda. Some of which is influencing your own thought process.

    Think about it.
