Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

and I wouldn't necessarily be against the state holding to account executives who have produced systems and policies that result in the harm or death of the state's citizens

Right, except if everything went exactly correctly as per the current justice system, the company would be found at fault, fined an absurd amount of money and closed. The wealthy executives who made the decisions that actually resulted in country-wide deaths would get sizable severance packages, take a short vacation, and 6 months to a year later open up the same business under a new name that imposes the same policies. It'll be right back to throwing poors into a furnace to fuel their lamborgini's until the next slap on the wrist.

We have no system to hold people accountable for their decisions as part of a company. We blame the company and then trust the company to police their staff accordingly. I'd love a widespread rework of the justice system to actually target the people responsibly for a companies actions, but we won't get one, so instead, someone has been shot.
