    the entire c suite should be killed in midnight raids with gratuitous collateral damage and shareholders deprived of a limb each.

    this needs to be punished and examples made.

      I’m with you on the extent, not on the kind of punishment. They should feel it though, that’s for sure. And it should be costly enough for others to panic.

        you don’t creep on a thousand people in their bedroom and walk away. each of us should get to make a cut.

        how many million of these were sold?no. fuck them. I saw a cop kill a homeless man for not responding to an order once. people who knew him said he was mostly deaf, no idea if it was true. the cop wasn’t punished.

        that kind if brutality needs to be turned on those who made it to protect them. they had millions of victims. they profited from harming us. i cant know if any of my stalkers bought data mined from my roommate’s tv, but if i had been a slightly less imposing person this might have ended with me being seriously harmed. how many others were in my position? what is the actual human cost of this infraction?

        they should not get to live. those who profited should not get to live full lives unmarked by their sins. investors should be more careful. a message needs yo be sent, and nothing fungible will do. they need to lose something we cannot fully replace.

          I agree, but I don’t agree with capital punishment. And I don’t think the punishment matches the crime. They should bleed all the money and then some, and they should face prison time.

            see, I don’t agree with prisons.

            I think if you’re going to have a society run on vice and kept in line with fear of punishment, and anything else seems to be derided as hippie shit because I’m living in orc world, the punishments should be scary.

            prison is horrible, it makes you worse to suffer, it fucks up the people who run it too, and its very easy to make not-scary. you’re still throwing a persons life away just like if you’re killing them, but you’re putting in this huge resource investment to feel morally superior and making both of you worse people in the process. its vile.

            plus, I’d rather just have them out of the world and not released upon the next fascist regime. every time that happens it diminishes the effectiveness of the terror of prison. how many times has that happened in high profile cases just related to the current american regime?
