More corporations with zero responsibility and way too much fucking power. We need regulators with teeth and we need to remove the legal hand of business from the pockets of our legislatures. I can't believe someone actually burned down Studio Ghibli HQ before Citizen's United was. Wtf.
The people who are smart enough to understand that corporations need restraint are also smart enough to know that burning a single building down will do nothing but give that company an insurance check. It needs to be the people who are in the c-suite, on the board, the consulting firms, etc. it has to happen overnight and with all of them.
Are we talking about revolution?
I love that Tracy chapman song too
This guy knows the first and second rules of fight club. JFC.
These people deal solely in the material. As soon as you start diminishing any material they own they will begin to lose their minds. They're deathly afraid of anyone knowing their names. Its why they hide behind multiple layers of shell companies and redacted identities when they do shitty stuff like buying a lot poor families live on and gentrifying it under a surname. If direct actions against their possessions did not work they would not wear so many masks. Its only the most brazen who do not hide like Musk.
The building helps a teensy bit because their premiums will go up, and so will the premiums of anyone expecting similar risks. It's averaging out the financial risk, not eliminating it.
Making them concerned about their premiums is not an effective result.
Do you mean Kyoto Animation?
It was a few years ago I only saw one headline and it said Studio Ghibli was a victim of arson but I guess it was their animation studio.
It was Kyoto Animation that was attacked. They have quite a few similarities in artstyle and themes to Ghibli, and you could maybe call them a spiritual successor. But neither is owned by, or a part of, the other.
Ghibli recently released How Do You Live, probably their last film. With the last surviving founders retiring, Nippon TV will manage the studio and the museum.
