We definitely live in an age of casualised and normalised violence. I can’t watch violent movies anymore. But I didn’t take the illustration literally and welcome the metaphorical “death” of these companies and what they represent.
One thing those companies represent is rent, groceries, etc. for a couple million people working for them, who just show up every day to do paperwork or whatever and go home. People with no evil intentions who are kind to their dogs and have no influence over the behavior of their CEOs. But if their welfare gets in the way of vengeance against billionaires, well too bad. I really wish we could get away from that kind of simplistic meme-level thinking and humanize these social issues more.
Yeah, the important thing is to intellectualize it and pretend you’re too evolved to get off on the imaginary violence.
