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.
You got a strange idea of glorification. It’s almost as if you have no sense of nuance at at (it’s alright it’s real tricky).
Nothing I have said is glorification, but understanding. Nothing I have said was violent but statement of fact that not everyone uses the same standards.
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.
Holy fuck. What is wrong with you?
what do you even think justice means my dude?

‘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.

You can be disgusted. But don’t pearl clutch.
Are people advocating for justice of for changing the system?

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?
The CEO of the company with the most claim refusals in the American Health insurance industry.
Fuckin keep up or shut up.
