Holy fucking shit these people aren't human.

Wasn't there a study showing a large correlation between CEOs actually being psychopaths? Supposedly that's the trait that makes them hyper successful since they only care about themselves?

[–] xzot746@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago

There is also a book called Snakes in Suits: when psychopaths enter the work place.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 20 points 21 hours ago

There's more than one. Here's a whole wiki article.

Our systems reward that. Capitalism is about becoming the winner and taking more than everyone else, thats how companies grow - they kill weaker companies.

We have essentially created a system that works like the animal world, except animals also only kill what they need to survive, so we are worse.

All this intelligence and this is what we do with it. :)

I often think of what humanity could achieve if the old consciousness would disappear and we worked together to create a society of happiness rather than capitalism.

It would be a dream planet. We have everything we need to do that. Everything.

I can confirm this. I'm working with a billionaire as ceo and they are assholes + have serious mental issues (especially when it comes to money e.g. loss aversion)

They are constantly aggressive towards their workers and cannot formulate at least one understandable sentence, they are also not hearing alarm bells from their workers

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

Accurate. Tech executives often see themselves as so far ahead of the rest of the world that they’re truly a different species. They see a world full of legacy stupidity and think they know better. The constitution is an artifact to them, not an ideal. Their actual ideals are unhinged nightmares of uploaded consciousness and the like. They don’t consider themselves human but post-human, or at least eager to become so.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 21 hours ago

They've done so much ket that they've blasted that ages ago.

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 107 points 1 day ago

I say we should make it constitutional to hang billionaires.

Actually, we should hang them first and then change the constitution.

[–] florge@feddit.uk 73 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If Democrats, my former party or current party, or however you want to look at it, ran someone who agreed with me, even in private, they would win. So, you know, maybe you should stop winning in the faculty lounge and start winning

Fuck me

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is like an admission to election fraud. I don't think they did the 2024 elections in favor of Trump (Musk did manipulate his platform enough to sway the chances into Trump's favor, so is Kamala trying to appeal to "moderate conservatives"), but wouldn't surprise me if it was their "security experts".

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 19 hours ago

so is Kamala trying to appeal to "moderate conservatives"

That's just called campaigning. Not the same thing as Musk's massive propaganda machine and million dollar offers.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 1 day ago

I mean. It was for the nazis and yes slaves are "good for buissness" doesnt mean its the right thing though!

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 50 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The connection to Israel is becoming increasingly obvious. Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, was also involved in setting up this fascist enterprise - with the kind assistance of Jeffrey Epstein!

Many thanks also to the politicians here in Germany who first signed a completely illegal contract with these bastards and then specifically amended the police law to undermine the constitutional rights of citizens after the fact.

It really is a terrible world we live in, because no one is stopping the most unscrupulous of all people. Well, this is what the end stage of the free market economy looks like.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It is incredible how zionists have said 'hey you know that bullshit conspiracy that we run everything? Wouldn't it be cool if we added some truth to it? Also say that we represent all Jews when we do it for effect!'

We are at a time when either we will break from it, or be doomed to another 1000 years of hell.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Yes, Israeli Zionists have been playing the anti-Semitism card for decades. It is a perfidious, self-reinforcing strategy: the more completely legitimate criticism of Israel's inhumane actions is silenced with this argument, the more it feeds actual anti-Semitism.

This is supported by the Mossad's skillful intelligence work, which obviously gathered a lot of dirt on politicians around the world - there is simply no other explanation for how a small, rather insignificant state like Israel has gotten away with the most heinous atrocities for decades.

This is mainly attributable to the US, but also to Germany, my home country, where the anti-Semitism card has an even stronger effect due to its terrible past. As a German citizen with an awareness of history, it is all the more repulsive for me to see how obvious war criminals shamelessly use the Holocaust in order to commit genocide themselves.

Yet it is quite simple: Israel is not Judaism. It is a criminal but sovereign state that commits genocide. This has nothing to do with religion, but exclusively with the inhuman ruthlessness of their criminal regime.

And yes, this is also supported by the population, just as it was in the Third Reich, since Israel is also a deeply authoritarian state, but these are not "the Jews", but the citizens of a State, the citizens of Israel, a country that commits the most terrible war crimes and tries to justify them by referring to history - it is a scandal that this still works, it is a crime against their own ancestors and has absolutely nothing to do with anti-Semitism; except that it very deliberately promotes anti-Semitism in itself in order to portray Israel's actions as the views of "the Jews" - which is, of course, not at all the case.

They have even introduced absurd concepts such as the "self-hating Jew" to prevent Jews from insisting that they want nothing to do with the deeply racist, inhumane Zionism of Israel.

It couldn't be more unscrupulous.

These people are truly the scum of the earth - and by "these people", I don't mean a religious group, as these people would like to portray it, but Netanyahu, the Israeli government, and all their henchmen.

So it would be constitutional to drag him out into the street and execute him?

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think it's a war crime unless you hold some sort of public office

[–] SiblingNoah@piefed.social 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

So we just need to run for school board first?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

This would also improve voter turnout.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

So it’s just a good idea then.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 29 points 19 hours ago

Someone should commit war crimes against the Palantir CEO and all its investors, since he thinks it's totally okay to do so.

“If Democrats, my former party or current party, or however you want to look at it, ran someone who agreed with me, even in private, they would win. So, you know, maybe you should stop winning in the faculty lounge and start winning,” Karp said. “We’re apparently not supposed to say anymore, but we always said we’re cold in the streets and hot in the sheets. Democratic Party should think about that a lot.”

This is a lie. Zionist Absolutists shifted to Trump because he explicitly supported absolutist genocide. Biden/Harris didn't want to Kent State anti-genocide protests, but their absolutist devotion to Zionist rule over the US was definitely a DNC purpose. His continued BS about "progressiveness" is the German 1930s NDSAP anti-communist supremacist absolutism gaslighting.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Wow. Corruption is out in the open more every day.

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Well, that's the thing with these people. They're against the constitution in any and all regards. That's why they want to abolish free speech, due process, the congress... And it's more than that. They want violence and expedite the apocalypse. That's why they escalate violence, send masked men to spread terror on the streets. Do more illegal stuff every day than any legal system can cope with. The goal is doomsday and to make the system collapse. Motivation for that is different between the current politicians, billionaires, people full of hate and plain evil people... But the constitution is the first and obvious thing which has to go - for all of them. And currently there's a broad coalition of powerful and rich people manifesting it for the USA.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Okay, if they are against the Constitution, and war crimes became constitutional, does that then make them against war crimes? (This assumes they have any actual logic, a very big ask)

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Very good point. I mean they're also not against the Second Amendment. Just every other one. They'll come up with some "logic" though. It's probably someone's LGBTQ+ neighbour's dog at fault or the immigrants. War crimes are fine if committed by someone with a MAGA hat and they'll demand death penalty if it's a democrat. And before we get to discuss the logic behind this, there will be the next fresh fuss whipped up and burying this. Like this one is probably again some bullshit to cover the Epstein files or whatever.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 19 hours ago

They don't define themselves by supporting the opposite of what's in the Constitution, they just don't give a shit about what's in it.

[–] Hatshepsut@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

~~Can’t look it up right now but~~ Edit: Full interview here I couldn’t make it past the first 10 minutes. He is so fidgety and never seems to finish an entire thought. Beyond that, can't stand looking at the asshole.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 10 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

He's a drug addict that regularly uses disassociatives (ketamine). It simultaneously makes him feel more powerful and makes him a giant target for manipulation like Musk.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 17 points 16 hours ago

Killing the palantir CEO would be good for business too, but there is a reason why we don't do certain things, like these, for example...

[–] manxu@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago

As usual, he who suggested it should be the first test subject.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

If palantir thinks it's a good idea then that's how a sane person knows it's a bad idea.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Alex Karp dying while strangulating Peter Thiel would be good for the planet.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

Elimination of CEOs would Be Good for Society

but can we stab him in the face already, please?

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

Facestab by a sword-wielding transwoman would be Middle-Earth level epic.

Karp quoted a political scientist to say that the “rise of the West was not made possible ‘by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion… but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.'”

Literal nazi ideology

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Yeah. Historically it's not entirely incorrect, unfortunately.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's not how international law works, dipshit.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He doesn't care. They believe in 'fuck you, you are a worthless disposable piece of trash that I cannot wait to replace with AI, so as obedient as possible or I will kill you and your entire family right down to your 6th cousins!'

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah sure. But to think that Trump can alter International law by changing the US constitution is kinda silly.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 19 hours ago

Say what you want about how evil Theil is, he sure knows about the Antichrist

To the surprise of nobody.

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 1 points 12 minutes ago

Company is named: "Communication Device That Was Abused for Spying, Control and Manipulation" guys... Doesn't it raise any red flags?
