You’re the only one saying that

I like you just blew past the person showing your analogy was completely facetious.

ooooh, you're asking white people to stop using MLK like a little virtue signal and challenging them to actually READ what he was saying. unfortunately, that's probably never going to happen.

no, we only encourage them after the fact. what's wrong with you

Yes Dmitry you're very smart now go touch grass.

you don't even go here, bro

Wild that you're acting like people would prefer enacting vigilante justice over a better alternative that just happens to not grossly enrich the wealth class. Universal single payer is the solution, but ofc leaving people with no alternative will drive them to find one bsky.app/profile/jent...

Be quiet, you disingenuous prick.

The wise man bowed his head etc etc

What a spaghetti brained response

also, the dude who went to comet ping pong did absolutely nothing to impact the child trafficking rings he was looking to disrupt. the person who shot the insurance executive motivated a surge of panicked approvals of insurance claims from companies that are famous for rejecting even valid claims.

Stupid on purpose

You already do that with cops, they just only do it to poor people and minorities.

It's a terrible shame that it took vigilante murder for the national conversation about crooked health insurance companies in the US to start in earnest. But it also had to reach that point, and it wasn't out of nowhere. Changes are needed...and as of now, it's any port in a storm.

Well we can't trust people like you, you are dumb fuckers. Normal people we can probably trust.

What doubts do you have that health insurance executives kill people for money

The encouragement to shoot Thompson came from Thompson himself, from his intensely foul and life destroying actions. He didn’t die because we glorify shooting people but because he caused millions of bitter tears at the funerals of real human beings who suffered and died so Brian could live fancy.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"

Oh, sorry. Not sure why this was the photo result for "Brian Thompson"

Who’s encouraging? Given the number of people who suffer needlessly and the number of people who actually die (they’re dying, you get that, right?) because of insurance corporate greed, it’s kind of inevitable. I believe you’ve never been there/loved someone who has. Talk about solutions or STFU.

Instead, people are exculpating a vigilante that killed a guy for a reason many people think is entirely reasonable -- he made his living off the intentional infliction of misery on other human beings. You could at least attempt being honest about what's happening.

We can measure their ideas against reality Come on, what are we doing here?

Yes. If the folk doing the executing are doing so for good reasons upon absolutely irredeemable folk then I'm going to consider that kind of justice of the oppressed valid as all hell. And that is going to become more of a norm with the way things are going in this dystopia.

May you have the same circumstances he did and then show us how you manage.

Idk I think it makes more sense to encourage people to be mad in the correct directions

Where the threshold differs for different people but take J6, for example: It was bad mainly because it was both concocted in bad faith and wrong on the merits, and NOT necessarily because their actions were intrinsically unjustified even in the case of an actual stolen election.

that is the way every justice system works sweetie

Hey man, thats essentially how cops work

I believe it's called "stand your ground"

Yes, absolutely How the fuck do you think we progress as a society? Do you think the system will just take care of that on its own? Ivory tower bullshit from some bougie bluecheck fuckhead

That ceo was a danger to the public though,known drunk driver endangering innocent people, we still dont know what drugs were in that ceo when he got blasted

*ONE person

Yep

Did you just do a "so you hate waffles" unironically

We live in a country that encourages people like Brian Thompson to execute dozens of people a day because it's profitable. Maybe save your outrage for that.

Lol go fuck yourself.

Let's let billionaires murder indiscriminately for more money and just sit back on our hands.

How many people have to die and how many nonviolent methods of stopping it have to fail for you to even have an ounce of empathy for someone trying something radical to stop mass murder?

Or we could properly tax rich people, do less corruption (corporate lobbying) and do universal healthcare so that people like Brian Thompson wouldn’t be in a position to exploit risk pools.

But lots of ppl encouraged Comet Ping Pong shooter and absolutely no consequences for them. Like get on Laura Ingraham’s ass, not mine.

And yet every other vampiric CEO remains living. Threat seems overblown

I rather drop a nuke on the US, but hey, a few CEOs being murdered is a good start

I think that'd release a lot of social tension if we could all take turns shooting the corpse.

The system is broken and murders people. Apathy lets them kill even more. There’s a reason all these flock cameras and data centers are going up.

As partial answer, consider that they are doing it here on bluesky, where they can be certain to be maximally disagreed with

until he had already done it. so more celebratory than encouraging

I mean...Brian Thompson sorta did...

I don’t think we should do anything ever just in case some guy with a blue check can somehow make everything the same in his head

So it’s a good thing the courts or the police never make listakes and also never face consequences when they make mistakes

Only if they did their homework.

A Biden defender who doesnt or intentionally won't understand the concept of social murder? Color me surprised.

Because the holocaust was "legal" you would have been a supporter...

the insurance company and every other murderer in charge of that system encouraged him, this isn't that hard to process

Vehicle traffic is trusting your life to the judgements of your fellow citizens. We do it all the time and it almost always works

what even is your point? “vigilante murder is bad even when they’re offing a mass killer who will strike again?” ok cool, so why do you think the vigilante did it instead of waiting for the system to do it? do you think that might be important

You're currently trusting those who have a vested interest in ensuring that their buddies, coworkers, and often even themselves, never face any accountability, to be the sole legitimate entity allowed to deal out accountability and decide who faces it much better than people who are wrong sometimes

The oligarchy is counting on our forbearance. .

You're making up people in your head to argue with

Do you defend all serial killers whith such passion, or do most of them not have a high enough body count to win your sympathy?

Why are you commenting on this issue when you live in a country with socialized medicine? Seems like you’re completely disconnected from the healthcare system in the US but really think that we need your opinion.

Like police and juries? Judges? Tbh, I think I trust Luigi's judgement over that of the current SCOTUS. I think his judgement was more... just. And I'd rather vigilantes offing corrupt CEOs than corrupt cops ending Black kids lives. 🤔 But we trust the cops and judges? Confused.

You must be being stupid on purpose. Do you really think people can't see how you're arguing in bad faith.

Who said encourage? Understand. You keep fostering this idea that any empathy for people wronged by uncaring corporations is encouraging the action. We can understand the action, don't you?

Well, this is a completely disingenuous response. Are you always this obsequious to the insurance executives unaliving our fellow citizens for profit or are you paid extra when you do it?

Brian Thompson was a well-known mass murderer. This is just insane comparison.

You are not worth the carbon that makes up your body lol

You really oughta learn the difference between "encouraging" an action and "not clutching our pearls in a performative show of implied moral superiority" when said action has been performed.

killing is ok if you do it through several layers of people in between and you're rich

You’re too stupid for this world.

Do you think John Brown was wrong?

That's a false dilemma.

The CEO wasn't killed for being wrong on occasion. He was killed for systematically denying people healthcare. You are misrepresenting the situation because you know you're a crock of shit.

You made an imbecilic category error, were corrected, and jumped to an absurd position no one holds in order to save face. You did this because you are feckless, privileged, and lacking in a moral system. You're also a slimy ballbag.

Stick to "explaining trades" or whatever it is you do, because this really ain't it, dude.
