Not a criminal until a guilty verdict…
It’s also not a crime to eradicate a parasite.
Except in texas
Lest we forget, “He needed killin’” was a successful defense against a murder charge in Texas, once upon a time.
I mean i agree ethically and morally. I was just commenting on NYT not understanding how laws work.
I mean it’s a “crime” technically but that doesn’t mean we can’t nullify it!
Not a crime against society, so possibly not a crime.
The word, crime, is subjective. Much like the word, value.
Really what is wanted is play court and feel special.
Yes breaking the law is a “crime” but to be a criminal you need to have the verdict saying you committed it. Innocent until proven and all. A “not guilty” or null result means not a criminal.
Guilty’s meaning depends on whose the listener
That you present the set of possible states of guilty poorly aside, are assuming everyone shares your POV.
I can present your bullshit more clearly. So lets do that
For someone to be labeled a criminal they must have been convicted in a court of law by their peers and all avenues of appeals have been exhausted. This is the only situation where the word criminal can be used by anyone besides paid liers and illusionists.
No it’s a poor journalistic standard to cast guilt before trial. If some random person was saying it who cares. This is a large public facing news entity though.
They demonize perps every single day. To the point it’s comical. Finding an exception is rare.
Got to the point, where i refuse to believe anything the media or the State says. Anything. If they said the sky is blue i’d ask for the unittests (wouldn’t believe them)
They lost the narrative forever. Which is another way of saying they aren’t ruling by the Will of the people. Incapable of presenting themselves in a believable manner.
In terms of narrative, have to agree.
If Biden and Trump can decide the law does not apply to certain people, then so can you.
The law only applies where and when it is enforced.
Guilty until proven innocent is nonsense. We are beyond that already.
Just a patsy
Using the term criminal is just demonizing a random guy.
The State and it’s officers are just illusionists. They can’t present evidence or be witnesses. Cuz they are unbelievable.
So far that is all they got. So when anyone uses the term criminal, i jump straight to innocent and civil suit
Thank you!
Being neutral cute both ways, he is innocent until a jury of his peers decide to vote guilty.
Just hope he doesn’t sign a confession, there is plenty of resources for him to fight this.
Also, I think all people charged with a crime deserve this benefit or the doubt.
There’s that word again
What peers?
The rando software dev is a genius being extradited to a State full of boot lickers and sell outs.
His peers are minimally accomplished well known FOSS devs.
There should be a higher burden of evidence which includes reproducible unittests and his peers should be well acquainted with writing maintainable and sufficient test suites.
Then lets talk about peers and courts.
Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.
Did they do that? Holy fuck.
Trump is person of the year for 2024, yes. He was previously named person of the year as well. Putin, Stalin, Kruschev, Reagan, Nixon, Kissinger, and Giuliani have all been named person of the year, most multiple times.
It’s a rather notorious group.
Uhhh, you do know that the New York Times and Time magazine are completely different things, right?
Honestly, I didn’t even catch that we were talking about NYT. I saw the parent comments about “person of the year”, and went with it.
NYT is garbage, too. I’ve had them filtered out of search results with browser extensions for years. I miss RES, which filtered them out of Reddit as well. I haven’t gotten around to figuring out block lists for Lemmy.
I’ve been pretty happy with Voyager’s filtering options.
It’s NYT. If you can’t defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he’s an attractive white male.
Knowing our history, it’s still funny to me that I-talians are considered plain ol’ white now.
Whether or not Italians are white depends on what’s convenient to the people in power at the moment. Same goes for Jews
NYT is a very conservative newspaper, they are only “woke” in the very shallowest sense when convenient to them.
It couldn’t be because we’ve been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?
Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.
Being handsome doesn’t hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there’d be supportive quasimodo memes I’m sure.
More of a weird looking criminal really, but ok.
The classic scapegoats aren’t there this time. Can’t blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the “crime” and that’s not good to some people.
Luigi is deff what the media has fed society as “CHAD”
Not even begin ironic here tbh
Now the only explanation why Chad would do this is “he had bad back”
Alright… go on…
FDR was also part of the elite class and he had his own issues…
Pretty successful and well off kid, definitely not just someone desperate and broke they can tear apart, and he’s articulating his position against these fuckers. It’s really beautiful. A folk hero.
Why wouldn’t they be? The glamorizing of murderers, rapists, and other criminals in biopic miniseries seems to be a growing point of discussion over the past year or so.
That had never been a problem before
Stupid sexy Luigi.
Feels like I’m wearing … three different hoodies.
Not Antiwork for me, but a great post.
I can’t find a better community for this, sorry. I just want left leaning people to know what bullshit they’re pulling.
Honestly i feel like most of lemmy is left-leaning at least from what i’ve seen
It is part of the class war… I would assume we can get some class solidarity here.
You could post it to US News, or the Socialism/Communism communities.
Thank you
Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative
“For the love of God, please stop looking up!” —Corporate Media
The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].
Noam Chomsky talked about how self-serving it is to the powerful to portray the mainstream media as left-leaning. If people think that the NYT is pushing left, then anything further left of that is seen as being so far off that it must be uttered by loony radicals who spend 17 hrs a day buried in leftist theory.
The pro-slavery New York Times?
Pro-war on all the wrong sides (Germany in WWII, US in Iraq, Israel at any time), Jewish owned but somehow simultaneously against Jews, especially if poor and foreign.
Their Berlin correspondent wrote about how Hitler was no danger to German Jewry while it was already well documented how terrible they were being treated in 1939.
Absolutely fucking monstrous rag.
Because the arts and literary sections and the magazine were actually quite decent so it gave that impression.
No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that’s quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.
I used to read it a lot because it had good arts and literary sections back when actual papers were a thing. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of coffee on Sunday in my bathrobe was a pleasure. Now they just specialize in these garbage takes.
Fr. Even the right wing broadsheets had good investigative journalism at one point. It’s all gone now.
Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined “largest immigration surge in US History” under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election
If it wasn’t so tragic it would be amusing to see the bourgeois factions stumble over each other. The parties had their obvious policies and they made a certain twisted sense for a time.
Now that none of it has worked, they’re both running out of policies and simply stealing the other’s lines. You can see the visceral confusion in the demi-gods and priests of capital and in the faithful.
It’s the same across the western world, as the ‘left’ parties are unanimously trying to out-compete the ‘right’ on immigration. The politicians and pundits are tripping over themselves and each other. They just don’t know how to frame it.
Who now is the baddy and who the goody? If we all agree that immigration is bad, does that mean the baddies are now the goodies and are the goodies now the baddies because maybe being a racist isn’t the best look.
Major policies have been swapped before. It’s like light through a prism and the right colour is distilled and purified. The GOP takes up anti-abortion and we now see the result of that policy-swap once it becomes the platform piece. Fuck knows what horrors we’re in for when all the ‘left’ parties steal and horde the anti-immigrant policy as the right abandons it in favour of ‘more imported servants, please’.
They’re trying every angle they can think of to avoid admitting that people didn’t react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.
people didn’t react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.
Also outside the US country. I’m Brazilian, I’ve been following the news about this event, and I can’t help but notice there’s a hope inside me that this event could somehow result in CEOs all around the world (especially in the southern hemisphere) changing and ditching their greed. Well, of course it’s very unlikely to happen, maybe I have some tiny optimistic side buried under tons of massive pessimism of mine.
It won’t happen, best we can hope for is that it tempers the greed for a bit.
It would need to happen a few (dozen) more times to effect real change.
I’ve been hoping it won’t be the last CEO to get deposed.
That’s what the NYT and others are afraid of. Copycats making this a trend and then the whole situation spiraling into French Revolutiom 2.0, or heavens forbid, October Revolution 2.0
changing and ditching their greed
No they won’t because while they of course are greedy, it’s not really greed which is fueling that on the systemic level, but the inherent capitalism mechanism to concentrate capital. Companies compete and that competition ultimately leads to either monopoly or formation of cartel, the ones with more profits are the winners and the losers get eliminated from the market.
What they will do, is to hire more bodyguards, isolate themselves from society even more and fund more propaganda like the article in topic.
The only thing that can change things, as proven historically, is not adventurism (however cool is to dish at least minuscule part of overdue justice) nor the spontaneous outrage, but the organized workers power threatening the capitalist class and their government servants.
I get you, but let us have hope for 5 minutes. It’s more than we’ve had in our whole lives.
Ok, you can have even 3 hours
In another sense: these CEOs are the people responsible for infiltrating other countries with the shitty US model of healthcare.
They won’t, they’ll tighten their security. Anyone who goes against the shareholders will be removed and replaced by somebody who will maximize profits at all costs.
Doesn’t mean there won’t be copycats who are successful. A whole lot of people have been wronged and the justice system doesn’t work.
I’ve seen multiple stories about the positive reactions.
If I believed in a deep state (which I categorically do not) NYT would be part of it.
I do, however, believe in giant media companies funded by the 1%, who have just lost one of their own to one of the plebs, staffed by management who will steer things in the needed direction. Any doubt I had of that has been destroyed by their coverage of Gaza.
