Sounds like healthcare CEOs still unfortunately don't fear being dropped from the life premium plus plan by a 9mm bullet enough.

Look I don't casually condone violence, but these people are unambiguously mass murderers who will see no justice for their crimes, being against violence in this context has become a very complicated question.

I do not relish the multitude of pitfalls this road has waiting to push us into blind hate, that is why leftists like me advocate so hard for universal healthcare.

The violence of denying basic necessary healthcare does not simply happen and then disappear like a flash of lightning, it adds another snowflake to the teetering snowbank up on the mountain.

The potential energy will become kinetic energy at some point, the only real thing in question is whether we will destroy ourselves in the process, which is why advocates for universal healthcare are so incessant and demanding, they know not proactively dealing with this will eventually lead to terrible violence.

being against violence in this context has become a very complicated question.

Reminds me of the French Revolution. Big changes like that were attained through violence. We've rightfully pushed away from violence to become a better society, but it is clear that the changes we want will not be obtained with likes and TikTok dances (or comments like this, ironically). The rich and powerful do not fear the people anymore because of this. People can strike all they want but the elites have learned that they just need to sit and wait (see Gilets Jaunes French protests or Iranian protests) because no one will even dare punch them in the face. Luigi was an exception and they are trying to flag this as a one time incident.

All of this is sickening, to be honest.
