Reading @pluralistic 's Radicalized, in which people get so pissed off that they start killing healthcare CEOs and their political lackeys. I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before people start going after oil company executives, too.

@koen_hufkens @pluralistic

I’m reading the book now - that quote and concept is in it. 🙂 It may also be in KSR’s The Ministry for the Future.

@koen_hufkens @Greengordon Nope, that one's mine. But Ministry is a great book and Stan's a national treasure.

@pluralistic @Greengordon I meant as: the story line has been explored. And indeed, well written and researched. Lived near Zurich when I read it and some Swiss references were on the nose.

@Greengordon @pluralistic Stop a moment Please help these vulnerable cats in Gaza🙏

I ask you to support my campaign by donating to help these cats who are weak and forgotten in the war. Every day that passes, this war continues. More and more of these cats are dying, as there is less care and less food. Your support and donation will help keep these souls alive. Thank you with all my heart

@Greengordon@spore.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr they can buy more soldiers, more bombers, more weapons. Zero chances to succeed.

@Greengordon @pluralistic Why are executives always targeted instead of owners? It's like intentionally aiming for bodyguards.
