I cross posted this to Hacker News (which is very pro-CEO and big corpo) and it's now rank 1 on the front page, lmao. People really support this guy
(And it's funny because in the comments, people are seething "Nooooo he's not popular, look at these polls that show he has 13% approval!!")
(Not sharing link to avoid brigade)
What fuckery is this?
Live too long and become a villain

Wow, they also changed the title lmao. I posted it with the same title as the article
What does hn refer to?
Hacker News. it's a link aggregator website and forum at news.ycombinator.com
Thx
Np
Even if the 13% number were accurate - that's a pretty damning number. 13% of people supporting someone for gunning down a CEO in cold blood is terrifying to CEOs.
That's not 13% hating them. That's 13% of people celebrating someone for killing them. No lawsuits. No trials. Just gunning them down in the streets. Things have gotten really bad when you have that much of the population actively supporting your murder.
This is the only solution to modern world problems. Imagine how many problems we would solve right away if we started gunning down powerful people, CEOs, politicians.
If billionaires were protected as we protect children in schools, we’d literally run out billionaires in a month.
Lmao it has 3x as many votes as anything else on HN but the moderated pushed it all the way down to page 3 (position 60-something when I just checked).
Wait, seriously? WTF is it named hacker news? Hackers are the least corporate people out there...
Most American hackers need a security clearance to work, you won't find them supporting Saint Luigi online
Because those are the equivalent of Hippies that turned Yuppies.
Yuppies are weird because it was originally just a way to keep them in the news ("new movement! new group! news at 11!") and be ridiculous. They got the DoD to sign a contract about exactly how high they were permitted to levitate the Pentagon.
And then it had it's own Eternal September moment. But everything seems to.
laughs in Google “do no evil”
"Look at our corporate polls! Stop liking him!"
