It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
That said, I also think those who make monopolistic fortunes off the sick while also dictating refusal of care to the sick are categorically not civilians. It is what it is.
I almost commented that UnitedHealthcare doesn't have a monopoly, but that's really only true at a national level. In some US states, they're the only option.
The disgusting profits are a product the health insurance industry, they only make money by denying coverage. It's an environment that encourages human suffering.
It should go without saying
Shoooould it thoooough?
Maybe he had a preexisting condition?
Like being a greedy sociopathic bastard?
I mean life has a 100% mortality rate, it’s just a matter of when.
I'm not sure we have the data to support that statement. 8.2B / 108B = 7.6% of everyone who has ever lived is currently alive. Perhaps some fraction of that is immortal.
Death is a preexisting condition.
I’ll send the ceo some hopes and prayers
Guillotines and the French Revolution disagrees with you. But good on you to pat yourself on the back with your superior morals.
I don't know if it's morals, I just don't have the stomach for violence. That's kind of a weird thing to say to a person anyway.
I just don't have the stomach for violence
That’s exactly what rich people are counting on. They want you to roll over and take it up the ass.
The freedoms you have today were obtained through bloodshed. So I’m not really sure what point you’re making other then you’re not willing to fight for anything.
So you’d rather give up on everything and fight for nothing. Nice dude.
Interesting, are you recruiting me to do something specific with you? Or should we just keep discussing how it's immoral not to do violence on an extremely public forum?
Oh no not violence against the rich! Inexcusable I say!
I love the "arbitrarily redefine what a civilian is" method of handwaving away a murder. It really shows that deep down, you would have an excuse to kill anyone.
Exit: Downvote me all you want. If openly celebrating murder is how the left operates now, the left is even more doomed than I realized.
"those who make monopolistic fortunes off the sick while also dictating refusal of care to the sick" is hardly arbitrary, though, is it. It's quite a high bar to clear, that. It's rational too, since they do many orders of magnitude more harm than e.g. a death row inmate, whom society is content to destroy.
It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
I am not celebrating. It's a tragedy, even if a predictable one. We'll all do better with a little more cooperation and a lot less greed.
I don't like it when people die, or get maimed.
If I say that I can understand how something like this happens, it's not out of sympathy for the murderer. It's just an accounting of facts amidst the fact that billions of people exist so obviously someone is going to be willing to kill for their perceived injustices. Especially when injustices are a lot more concrete than abstract.
It’s a tragedy,
Technically, and in reality, it's not a tragedy. Technically, dying from a pre-existing condition as a health insurance exec is a comedy. In reality, it's a net positive for society.
Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel.
I'm thinking a lot about this one.
I'd agree. He likely got great comedic value from the people dying as a result of his decisions; and thinks those people being healthy is a tragedy.
Buddy if you think it's just the left operating this way I have some beach front property in Arizona for a good price.
The ruling class isn't a "civilian", because they literally command armed forces.
While not always called "armies", their function is the same: Secure the interest of the capitalist class.
Just like I wouldn't call the POTUS a "civilian", as the POTUS commands an armed force.
being judgmental towards the only person in the comments being even vaguely critical of murder because you can’t read
