I am a simple man: If Bill Burr goes on a self-righteous whiny rant in favor of something, I'm against it. Regardless of whether Luigi was in the right or not, aw-shucks hicklib white "dudes" and iDubbzzz irony leftists made it cringe and so he must die.
 
There are so many moving parts in the monstrosity that is the US healthcare system besides the healthcare companies. Anyone who lays all blame at the feet of healthcare companies is missing the forest for the trees.
There's near-infinite blame to go around. They're all shit. We have enough trees and rope to hang them all.
 
Slightly offtopic but im going to make it on topic with the following speculation

Trump is hypothetically cashing in all his Jew brownie points to borrow the "Jewish Natural Disaster creator" to fucking POUND Iceland with earthquakes (just had a PAIR of 5.0s unconfirmed reports of a 6.7) because a massive volcano is going off and Greenland is starting to feel it to.

Like a "see what we can do, ya sure you dont wanna play ball?"

Then you had Scarlet Johansson's lawsuit that dealt Disney a devastating blow as now they had actually had to pay talent and couldn't get out of it.
What was this about? Was this the AI lawsuit/strike? I tried searching for it and only got results with her and OpenAI.

It's possible to have some sympathy for his 'cause' and believe that a planned assassination is worthy of the death penalty. Whether or not he lives out his days in prison or gets executed 15 years from now doesn't matter, hes not a leader. If his fans were serious they'd be following his example(no spray painting charging stations doesn't count) not crying over his possible death.

If Bill Burr is comfortable saying this you can be sure the sentiment is coming from a place of ineffectual safe edginess. See also his thinly veiled comments on "billionaries".
 
Ive argued bitterly with many people I consider very intelligent and good individuals about this

"its murder, cold blooded murder" they say, "how can you justify the shooting of a man in broad daylight?"

How do you justify denying a 1/3rd of your paying customers life saving care?

What people forget is that if you're an asshole, you can't be surprised when bad things happen to you, nor should people who KNOW you're an asshole.
Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle, it's called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it's called murder?

iirc they tried to screw her over for the Black Widow movie, she was going to get a cut of the box office, then they shunted it to D+ so she got jack
 
De-Banking is just the same thing. They can't put you in a death camp / gulag, the next best thing is to make you and your family homeless and unemployable and unable to speak in public until you kill yourself or waste away and don't bother them ever again. If Liz Dong Gone had his way, Null (and the rest of us) would be in a work camp farming free organic kale and quinoa for our "betters" for the rest of our lives, or dead in some unmarked grave for people guilty of hate-thoughts. But that won't work, so the next best option is banning us from ever speaking in public again.
Its an extension of their belief in constructed reality, these people are completely divorced from the actual world - they believe that the careful designed and fragile 'system' of abstractions like banking, laws, and social media are realer than reality. Its why they believe they can simply define away problems or censor people on the internet and that makes the problems go away. Usually, it does work - mostly, sometimes, for a while.

Some people have enough money, resources, and the personality to fight against this type of control. People like Alex Jones or Trump are likely to play into the system and try to beat them at their own game. This kind of person is a pretty rare bird, though.

Now, on normal people without this money or influence this tactic might yield some dividends, plenty of people will cuck and self delete. On the other paw, they might just find that some people undergo a dangerous transformation once they are completely 'canceled' and bankrupted. Some men, finding their future as a peaceful, productive citizen 'killed' will not try to rectify the situation by becoming physically dead to match. Instead, they will strike at those that have 'killed' them - after all, they have nothing to lose, they have already been murdered in every way except the metabolic.

The people behind these kinds of efforts are, in their hearts, cowards. Otherwise they wouldn't stoop to corrupting the social processes to achieve their aims. So I imagine that when the first violent backlash that puts several lawyers, CEOs and others in bodybags happens, they will back off from this tactic. For a while.

Firstly, Luigi didn't kill the CEO in the heat of passion. That was a planned attack.

In theory, and this very important, IN THEORY, we have given up our right to enact violence upon our fellow man for any and every reason to the government because we don't want to live in a society where a man can just be killed walking down the street. So we enact penalties upon people who do that.

In return, the government is supposed to arbitrate on our behalf and carry out Justice in our stead as a neutral 3rd party.

As for war, war isn't murder. It's the state using violence to obtain political goals. But that sounds icky, so society calls it heroic.
