Last year in Brazil a rich right wing white man opened fire on the federal police and even threw grenades at them.
Here’s a picture of him talking to the police after the shooting (he’s the old guy on the left): https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2022/10/ED_VIS_241022_IL_PF_JEFFERSON_frame_935.jpeg?w=876&h=484&crop=1
I wonder what would have happened to him if he was a poor black man.
It’s sad that the only two alternatives that you can think of are killing people or “letting them get away without anything”.
Great! I’m enjoying my ice cream in winter, while waiting for the 4th hurricane of this year to hit my city. The last one ALMOST took the roof off my house, but hey, maybe this next one will, and then I’ll get to enjoy a free rain bath!
More or even more.
Very true. I have an example in my family: my father-in-law owns a lot of land. That land, not so long ago, belonged to some native tribes that were all killed to have said land stolen. My wife said that, when her father dies and she inherits the land/money, she’s gonna donate most of it (maybe all, depending on our financial situation), because she doesn’t want the blood money.
Every time I (proudly) tell this to someone, they look at me like I’m crazy.
We drive our cars and planes
And burn the fossil fuels
We ignore the scientists
And call them climate fools
We chop down all the forests
And fill the seas with trash
We melt the polar ice caps
And watch the glaciers crash
We suffer and we will die
From the heat as we get older
But hey, at least we created a lot of value
For our dear shareholders
He should be in jail, but it’s a start.
I’m poor, living in a 3rd world country, with no money for air conditioning. What the fuck am I supposed to do.
Guess I’ll just have to enjoy (lol, like I can) the few years I have left.
