I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

People on Lemmy (and the tech community) also skew heavily to tech industries so I’m not surprised they are shocked and disagree that saying you work for Microsoft is a bad thing.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

If your point is that I engage in immoral practices; of course I do.

That wasn’t my initial argument though.

As I have said in another comment, if I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work killing people in a foreign country because I would realise that makes me a hypocrite.

In the same way I wouldn’t be vegan, work for an abattoir and complain to my CEO that killing animals is wrong.

Is the fact that you’re so defensive over my comment not an indication for you to do a little introspection?

You can’t claim the moral high ground if you’re enabling the very thing you’re complaining about.

I don’t comprehend why people find this controversial other than that they may be uncomfortable with their own choices and dislike when some random on the internet has pointed it out to them.

If I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work being used to kill kids because I would have the presence of mind to realise that I would be a hypocrite if I did that.

I took the hit to my overall earnings by not working for a corporation that kills the planet/tramples on workers rights/engages in war crimes.

Have you?

Imagine thinking you have any moral high ground but work for a massive corporation.

All olives are green (at some point) lol.

Come on people the internet is right there and you can check this kind of stuff.

You don’t like egg?

I’m an active union organiser and volunteer emergency service worker.

My day job is responsible for helping people with extremely disadvantaged backgrounds.

I don’t know if this is something to be proud of tbh.

You’re basically saying ‘my life is secure; fuck everybody else that hasn’t got what I have’.

I’m glad you built a good base for yourself, now help lift up others. It doesn’t stop sucking for everyone else just because you check out.

IMO you have the obligation to create the environment that allows what you have (an existence without worry for politics) for everyone.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

Do you really need to read volumes of theory to grasp what is fundamentally a rather straightforward concept?

Leftism shouldn’t be locked behind intellectual elitism.

TL;DR the capitalist state will use threats of violence/actual violence against threats to capitalism which includes those who stand for progressive ideals. Leftists believe this is a justification to use violence against the state.

There are only two tried and true methods I am aware of to stop fascists:

1. Killing them
2. Making them kill themselves

I’m going to enjoy seeing this comment get removed. I’ll think about it as I’m put on the train to the death camp.

The Supreme Court currently has a majority of batshit insane constitutional originalists.

They are most definitely capable of doing this.

They just have to divine some batshit insane constitutionally originalist argument that justifies it.

Night of broken glass comes first.

Wait for them to loot and pillage “immigrant” owned businesses.

Get. Off. Reddit.
