      It’s objectively a horrible thing to do to anyone, for any reason, and inhuman and condemnable.

      That all said, if you’re reading this and you’re married to someone advocating or supporting the execution of students and teens via assault rifles in the street, and a lot of people are angry about it, you should probably fucking leave.

      I don’t know anything about the ex-wife or her involvement with anything, but I know the Nepalese ruling class have been flaunting their wealth and the videos going around showing kids getting shot in the head and slumping over as blood pours out of their bodies and their friends crying and trying to pull their limp bodies out of the line of fire, have been circulating and it made MY blood boil and I’m on the other side of the world.

      I think maybe our “ruling class” in all nations need a wake-up call that they are our servants, not our masters.

        It’s not ex-wife. It’s wife of ex-PM. As in the former first lady of Nepal, I guess, just as an analogy to US’s titles.

        I think immolation is a good idea for the “ruling class” as the working class is struggling and dying daily.

        The occupy Wallstreet really changed things for us, right?

      What isn’t too much, but also creates the necessary drastic changes?

      Billionaires won’t let you vote away their power, mind you.

        I mean, if she’s committed crimes bad enough to warrant death I’m not gonna object to the killing itself, but still there would’ve been better execution methods than burning her alive. Hanging or firing squad, for example. Reveling in brutality is generally not something you want in a resistance movement.

        What isn’t too much, but also creates the necessary drastic changes?

        You know, kill or imprison those responsible for the people’s suffering, take or burn their stuff, etc. I’m in no way against violent revolution; I just believe even the worst people should get a relatively humane death when possible. Whether the billionaires and their lackies are killed or not really has no bearing on the end result; it’s the actual seizure of power (or threat thereof) that gets things done.

            Nope. It’s impossible to intimidate the elites into submission through violence against them; you have to seriously threaten their power. The lesson the Nepalese ruling class will learn from this is to never fall under the protesters (though at this point “revolutionaries” is probably a more appropriate term), not to be better people. There is literally nothing productive about this.
