I heard the other day if billionaires were shot at the same rate as schools kids, we'd run out of billionaires in 2 months.

But frankly, that's one of those things you'd have to see to believe.

You don't know that he wasn't also doing it for his own personal pleasure.

Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.

I've heard this saying many times; if only I could figure out how to get paid for railing other furs, and cuddling them before the real fun starts and the other 13 canines enter the room...

The profession you're searching for is pornstar.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ehh, traditional porn is a dime a dozen though, and is boring. I want to bang a room full of furs, and throw normalities out the window immediately, ya know?

Maybe I'll open up my own studio or something. There's tons of amateur stuff if you know where to look, but having a safe place, with trained staff controlling the production, and just letting raw, passionate, kink-friendly action happen between the participants, is an idea I could get behind. Or in front of. Gotta take pride in your work, y'know?

This is a reason why I don't think the shooter did anything outside of act in self-defense.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Or possibly community defense.

Not really murdering for profit. More like stealing their money while leaving them for dead.

We really need to end health insurance all together.

And also probably pull out the guillotines and remind the aristocracy how many of us there are and how much they actually do depend on us.

I honestly believe a general strike across the country would very quickly put things back on a course for the better.

When people are healthy, they can work. This is profitable for companies. When someone is sick, they can't work. This is not profitable for companies. So it's better to kill the ill. Just like in Auschwitz. Right, insurance companies? Right, Musk? Right, Trump? Right, most Americans who voted in favor of this system and empowering mega corps at the cost of most people by voting for Trump?

He would have been safe in jail where he and his cohorts belong

It's cute that you think the justice system works the same for rich people like it does for the rest of us.

[–] RabbitInTheWoodPile@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Every hear of suicide by cop? Now hear me out, what if it wasn't a cop who pulled the trigger but just a regular person? Hmm...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fuck Matt Walsh.

Ok, carry on.

We might get banned for asking for of this kind of activism.

[–] baggins 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't see anyone asking for anything. OP is just stating their quite factual opinion.

[–] baggins 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh ok. Carry on then.

I'll ask.

Can we get more of this kind of activism please?

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Sic semper tyrannis!
