Ahh yes the law of karma makes me a shitty person. Im sorry I should have over coddled the man who profits off disease the way you were over coddled as a child. Now thats how I would be a shitty person. Hope you feel better after nap time thoguh.
How was this a rando? They premeditated killing this rando?
But - a lot (most/all?) of social rights we have now were achieved exactly like that. When protesting fails, politicians don’t step in (or are defending the corporations), something at some point brakes.
You know, the guillotine story. And they invented that when corporations/wealthy families had much less wealth concentrated than today.
Then we get system changes like actual effective healthcare. The ugly historical truth is only violence gets noticed & harder to hide. And it’s not like the next CEO won’t be very aware of what happened to his predecessor.
No… killing CEOs has not produced effective social change at any point. The thing about it is that they’re just going to appoint someone else. It literally makes no difference for the system, they have plenty of volunteers for the job. There won’t be any change in business, they’ll just hire a security detail.
Are you defending a CEO of an American Health insurance company on the astronomically small chance he would give a pittance anything that would help anyone?
Fuck dude, That’s a weak ass strawman.
Take a moment and go look the dude up and what his company has done under his direction.
Stop simping for thise who would charge you for life saving healthcare.
I agree. I was challenging OP’s offence to the attitudes expressed.
It’s stereotypical liberalism. One that says we can vocally criticize a private institution but not actually act against it. And we must deplore any actions against that private institution.
You’re all ghouls. Each and every one of you who revels in this. Ironically, that’s exactly what you claim his crime was.
I’m ashamed and embarrassed to be associated with you miserable wretches who would glorify murder to sate your revenge fantasies. You have no shame.
None of you know anything about this man aside from his occupation. You’re all hateful, ignorant, self-righteous assholes.
Preserving evil people isn’t the moral high ground you think it is.
I am going to guess this person has never suffered at the hands of the American Medical Complex.
dude is straight up the kid of some rich fuck

imagine this happens every time corpos fuck over the american people
we are literally taught slogans about this but apparently it’s only for anti British rule and space movies
You get what you give. Don’t be a shitty person and people won’t be happy when you die. Its that simple.
So why are you being a shitty person right now? Possibly because you’re anonymous? Cool.
it never fails to amaze me how there is always some bootlicker ready to defend rich assholes

Over coddled??? He’s dead lmao
Would you defend an Auschwitz guard using the same argument?
More like a Goebbels level than a guard. Guard would be like a customer service agent. The CEO was way more involved than that.
He was just following orders!
Befehl ist befehl.
Yes, if he was shot in the back with a silenced gun while leaving his hotel at 645am.
There is no justice in that.

‘justice’ lmao, how old are you?
What difference does it make? You think assassinating randos is going to help anything? How?

This is exactly it - we are taught words work, but in reality that is just so that violence can be condemned when it happens to important people.
And no, people eventually stop working for a monarchy that goes through one king per year.
How is the CEO of United Healthcare a king? If it was Trump I would understand but this literally changes nothing.
Dude wasn’t a rando, he was definitely targeted.
What if he was targeted because he was going to do something that was good but unprofitable? Did you ever think about that?

Again, you can’t simp for a dead man. I’m just asking for people to not glorify his death like some kind of sick trophy. It’s disgusting.

How? What was his crime? Is an anonymous masked man really your judge juror and executioner? That system makes sense to you?
Are you unfamiliar with how the American health system works and how loose the definition of justice is?
Not at all. That’s also irrelevant. You’re happy about something that is very wrong. I don’t know what else to say.
Didn’t say I was happy. Stop assigning emotions to people over lemmy.
What he did is incredibly important. To say otherwise is just lunacy.
What did he do? Do you even know?
Are people advocating for justice of for changing the system?
what do you even think justice means my dude?
Holy fuck. What is wrong with you?
Nah, its kinda like celebrating the death of any mass murderer. Doesn’t make one a ghoul to celebrate one less evil person on the planet.
I mean that’s kind of the point, right?
Rofl, imagine how your opinion would change if you knew he took a pottery class that one time.
To reduce a human being to their occupation? No, that’s actually the opposite of the point.
Being the CEO of a company responsible for millions of deaths a year is not just “an occupation” you are unhinged.
Curious for you to explain why you see it as “revenge”?
That term seems to imply that Thompson had caused harm of some sort.
Care to help me understand better?
He is directly responsible for anyone with United as insurance dying due to denied care.
I agree. I was challenging OP’s offence to the attitudes expressed.

Anacyclosis needs to happen, and there’s nothing ghoulish about evil ending.
Go touch grass
