“Put him to death!” is an interesting take from the “violence is never the answer” team.
I genuinely don’t know if they’re doing this intentionally, or if they are just completely blind to it at this point, but violence is, and always has been, normalized and used in the dominating political/legal/governing/economic systems. It’s just not treated as such.
Because what is denying someone’s healthcare insurance claim that they are supposed to get if not violence? Or sending police after someone? Or sentencing someone to death?
Violence has always been part of the answer. It’s just that that answer is not officially allowed for the common rabble.
Western capitalist hegemonic powers glorify retributive violence but only when it benefits the ruling class. When the peasants realize that there is no way to initiate change in such a heavily controlled environment they are met with violent suppression. Even when we use non violence we are met with violent suppression. Look at the methods yale used to go after jon violent pro Palestinian protestors. The USA has been a far right fascist authoritarian state for at least 50 years now its just blatantly obvious for anyone paying attention
I cannot help but wonder if the USA legal system treats murder differently depending on who died, essentially legalising that some people are more valuable than others.
You don’t need to wonder. Your suspicion is correct.
“All animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.”
This one’s optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one drops a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farmYou can try the best you can, the best you can is good enough.
The insurance industry does, and the insurance industry is apparently part of the US government, so yeah I guess it does.
It does.
All that is going to cause is that if a copycat bring down another CEO is that there’s no reason to go down quietly when caught.
A person could get a whole room if they don’t need an escape route.
Anyone habe an invite to the next scheduled Bilderberg meeting? 🤤
Putting him to death will make him a martyr
They think death, media popularity, and being remembered is going to dissuade others who are facing a lifetime of severe pain because their heath insurance won’t pay for treatment?
Or a lifetime of abject poverty despite working an extremely labor intense job while not being able to afford to own a home or ever retire? This issue permeates beyond the awful “healthcare” system. We are now at a worse level of exploitation than was standard before the advent of the FLSA of 1938. This is the new gilded age and it needs to end immediately
That would be awfully hypocritical, given that Mangione’s crime in the first place was (allegedly) killing a mass murderer.
Do the feds not understand how a martyr is created?
