To the TorturersFor doing the same shit that Saddam Hussein did, we call you patriots. And we saved your ass from The Hague. You should be in jail. Seriously. Merry Fucking Christmas.
To the Corrupt Cops
Killers, abusers, thugs at our service. You'll get credit for well over 1,000 kills, and 100,000 beatings this year. In fact, you are so hated and feared, that even a petty criminal is likely to pull a weapon because they have nothing to lose. You incite violence and abuse and we call you hero. You should be at the The Hague, right next to the torturers.
Our war on crime is working as well as our war on terror and our war on drugs, all of these wars are creating more demand for whatever it is they are supposed to be fighting against. Merry Fucking Christmas. https://www.facebook.com/KilledByPolice
To Wall Street
You and your friends in Congress fucked us over like felony sex offenders. No worries, when you get caught, we'll bail you out. That's what taxes are for. Have another bonus. On us. Merry Fucking Christmas.
To the CIA, NSA Spies, Security Concern Trolls and Apologists
Nice work. As if a militarized police force intimidating dissent and protest with unrestrained violence and abuse wasn't enough, the "moderates" are defending a Stazi-like network of federal and local agents who are spying on you, your spouse, your children. From cameras tracking your license plate on the street, to monitoring your email and web posts and doctor visits, the concern trolls feel safer now. After all, they have nothing to hide. What this means, of course, is they have nothing worth protecting. Merry Fucking Christmas.
To Those Sending Jobs to India and China
Our kids are killing themselves against bullshit standardized tests and their jobs are going to a $5/hr worker in India. Of course, no one gives a shit about those test scores. $5/Hr? You pass, cum laude. And, we'll let you get to keep your tax breaks and write-offs for fucking us over. Meanwhile, China is building one hell of a military. Ho ho ho, here comes TPP. Santa says Asia deserves our jobs more than we do, Merry Fucking Christmas.
To AT&T and the Cable Companies
Congratulations. Net Neutrality should have been the law of the land by now except for a telco lobbyist chairman and a handful of douchebags who want to run the internet like a subscription cable TV channel. That's right, we are letting a few dozen ultra-rich douchebags fight against the best interests of 330 million people. We didn't tar and feather you. Merry Fucking Christmas.
To the Health Industry
In America we believe paying $15K a year for Fam4 health insurace, before a $5K deductable, is a good deal. That's our gift to you, Merry Fucking Christmas.
To the Education Industry
In America we believe paying $100K a for college diploma is a good deal; just to get a job with wages unchanged since 1976. When you get that paper, you'll be competing against some kid in India making $5/hour. To the University of Higher Poverty, Merry Fucking Christmas.
To the Rich, Corporate/Political Leadership Farming Us Like Livestock
It's been a year of lies, scandals, bribes, conflicts of interest and those "realistic political values" keeping citizens in debt and in poverty. You've had a year of ups and downs. Stock market at record highs, stock ownership at record lows. Interest rates at record lows, income disparity at record highs. Gas prices at record lows, poverty at record highs. Instead of throwing your asses under a guillotine, we'll vote for you again. Merry Fucking Christmas.

(100,090 posts)To The Koch Bros. And The Walton Family:
Congratulations, you have cemented your title as the greediest motherfuckers on the planet! Combined, you have more wealth than all of Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent! Your greed is sinking the entire world into a new dark age all just so you can one up the shit you and your other Fortune 400 douchebags can buy. While we're suffering your fortune is tripling. Can't wait to see you on the other end of a national uprising. Merry Fucking Christmas.

I can count on my fingers the number of the 536 of them who wouldn't rip out my eyeballs, piss on my brain, and sell the scraps if Jamie Dimon or the Kochs or the Waltons told them to. God, I hope you get what's coming to you before I go belly-up.

(33,688 posts)Execution and confiscation of every asset that can be tracked. I am not a violent person, not in the least, but they will only surrender when dead. Their goal is to enslave the world and Gandhi's tactics are not going to stop them. They would drive the steamrollers over the populace without a second thought. That is what the kkkops are for because I don't think they trust the military to mow down the people. They should think long and hard about the fate of Mussolini and the Ceausescus.

I'm rather looking forward to it.

(55,981 posts)The Oligarchs and their puppet media have taught us to worship at the alter of wealth. Spend our food money on lottery tickets because super wealth is the heavenly goal. Some of our major religions accumulate wealth themselves and are therefore complicit.
I fear we are a long way away from the needed revolution (peaceful).

(2,382 posts)You've echoed my very thoughts on the matter. I have made the Il Duce admonition many times. I'm a Liberal down to my DNA, but I am a Liberal who can snap-shoot the seeds out of a grape off-hand. But I think making these bags of rat excrement live without their ill-gotten gains would be an even more painful punishment than a really close haircut. Love the guillotine, though!

Greed is the most powerful of all addctions and, unfortunately, has to be punished by the most extreme of measures. There is no cure and left to itself greed will destroy the human race. It's them or us.

(5,178 posts)Pretty sad all of those can be traced back to the actions of regular, everyday people stuffing money into the pockets of corporations.
All in the hopes those companies will stay the course and expand whatever it is they are doing that is making them wealthy because they don't care where they get the money from, just that they get a little taste themselves.
I would imagine most never even consider the consequences of the actions they undertake.
