I'm not talking about extra-judical executions here or vigilante justice. This would be done through the legal system. So I don't see a contradiction with civility. People are getting fed up with elites who game the system. Without some justice there is actual danger of mob violence and vigilanteism. Justice can be a more important principle than civility which keeps the corrupt status quo in place. Ordinary people who work hard are fed up with the unfairness of financial elites. And that is a dangerous place to be at. The damage these scammers do is not just in the money they steal but in that they keep getting away with it, rubbing salt in the wounds, creating the perception of a two tier justice system.

It's about the PR. Executing a handful of Wall Street goons would send a strong wakeup call to the whole finance white collar crime sector. Look, it's not gonna happen. I'm just dreaming outloud here.

Yeah, YT is addictive.

Punishment for a serious crime like stealing $100M is no exception to civility. These are not harmless crimes, they go to the core of corruption and systemic inequality. And if we start executing people on Wall Street, yes, it will be a huge deterant and wake up call for them. They have grown fat knowing that they will never face any serious punishment. Hundred million dollar frauds are run without a care in the world by these people, as if they are playing a video game.

That is too precious an experience to hand out to such cretins. 5-MeO is a reward, not a punishment.

It would be pretty easy to pass a law which says that if you scam or defraud over $100M, then you could get the death penalty. Very simple, clear-cut law. Honestly, why don't we have such a law? What innocent person is it gonna harm? You don't scam $100M+ by accident. These are highly intentional crimes. The only reason such laws don't exist is because 10% of Wall Street would be executed.

We don't know if climate exists

Anything fun could get serious real quick. So you'll never know until you try it. You're rolling dice.

Don't be mean.

Relative to Black Pill, yes. This forum can be a time sink and a distraction, but it is not toxic or negative. This is a place to feel less lonely in your personal dev journey. It can be lonely out there.

They are the ones in need of execution.

No. You are misusing the notion of "imagined". Gravity is also "imagined", but that doesn't mean you will unimagine it.

Feed and program your mind with positive empowering content and by taking action on building your life.

Meh... I say we execute a dozen Wall Street scammers every year. To keep the rest in check. Will be worth it.

#1 thing you must do immediately is stop consuming toxic, low consciousness, negative content from the internet. Nothing can help you if you keep brainwashing yourself with trashy content from trashy people. Only listen to positive successful people.

It's not about ignoring, it's about accepting and moving on.

Okay then. So Oct 7th was just war, so don't cry to us about beheaded babies.

Bernie is not a Dem. So course the party leadership will oppose him.

In 2016 yes. In 2020 no. Bernie lost fair and square in 2020.

The real criticism is not of the soldiers, it's of the top leadership and their selfish nationalist policies. The soldiers are just the pawns.

The one with more muscles and more development has a higher responsibility to use restraint. That's the principle. Is Israel morally superior to Hamas or not? If it is, then act it. The problem is that Israel wants to claim moral superiority and victim status in this conflict but not do the work to be morally superior.

6.6% The actual number of votes Cenk got in his own primary.

No, that's not what is happening here. We don't need to assume. It's clear as day by IDF actions that they are abusing their power.

He literally said all lives are equal.

The IDF does not do terrorism. But it certainly does a lot of war crimes. When you have carte blanche to do war crimes, terrorism is unnecessary. Terrorism is done by the powerless against the powerful. The powerful do not need terrorism because they have more effective means.
