Murder is wrong. Full stop. The fact that people need to be reminded of this …

This is the hardest I’ve ever seen a fed fedding in my life

1donaldlee.bsky.social•119 days ago

Yes, Murder is wrong. Everyone knows it. But when people are being screwed out of their life and savings after paying for health insurance their whole life -- you better believe morality is playing second fiddle.

1donaldlee.bsky.social•119 days ago

You are also correct to fear the future and spread of this. I don't condone it. But all of human history says this is what happens when income/power becomes this unbalanced. Want to fix this? Start by overturning Citizens United. Ban corporate lobbying and political spending.

Well, the guy is clearly mentally disturbed. Perhaps we should try reform or consumer choice before manning the barricades & calling for revolution? As a member of the party 🧢 that is generally anti-gun & suspicious of police/military power, I’d say we think long & hard about fomenting violence.

1donaldlee.bsky.social•110 days ago

People have been demanding reform including consumer choice for decades. Insurance company lobbying blocks all. Noting the severe anger people justifiably have does not endorse nor foment violence.

The business model the guy profits from literally kills people. Everyday someone dies after being denied the care they need. Every single day.

ashete.bsky.social•119 days ago

no, virtue ethics is for stupid people who cannot think. No action has moral value, an outcome has moral value. The outcome of this man dying, is good. Please try to understand.

If I ever find myself CEO of a massive corporation that enriches itself by denying medical treatment to people then you can come kill me too.

Horrible analogy

more-gravy-please.bsky.social•111 days ago

No, it’s a perfect analogy. It just exposes the weakness of violence as the answer. As does the fact that the “alleged” gunman is quite possibly schizophrenic. I’m not going to violate my non-violent moral code & become that which I abhor. MLK & Gandhi are worth emulating, not abandoning.

cammybeagle.bsky.social•111 days ago

So you’re comparing a grocer to a CEO of the one of the largest companies in the world?

more-gravy-please.bsky.social•110 days ago

Food is essential for life, as is housing & health care. Any of life’s essentials that are more expensive than you or I believe they should be would lead to the same conclusion for someone utilizing the “logic” of Mangione (who I believe is mentally deranged). Violence is not the answer. Full stop.

cammybeagle.bsky.social•110 days ago

I abhor violence in any form.

unheavenlycreature.bsky.social•119 days ago

Ah yes the corner grocer, a person who is definitely in the same galaxy as "Healthcare CEO who has literally killed thousands at a bare minimum to make slightly more money"

defunctup.bsky.social•119 days ago

"someone renting a garage apartment"... so you mean a LANDPARASITE? I'd tell them to get a real job before offing them.

taftaftaffita.bsky.social•119 days ago

If I'm th CEO of a large bloodsucking company that's putting people's health in jeopardy, hoarding wealth or treating my employees like shit, then by all means shoot away

bradperryman300.bsky.social•119 days ago

The insurance companies already do that. They decided what treatments you get, and they don’t care if you live or die as long as they make a profit off of you. That needs to change.

sarahdaniels.bsky.social•119 days ago

Right? Some of the comments here are scary. You can be disgusted with the insurance industry AND NOT condone murder. 🤦🏻‍♀️🇨🇦

ashete.bsky.social•119 days ago

It is simply moral for some people to die, for them to be killed is simply moral. It may be illegal, but the law is an attempt to describe morality, not proscribe it. Giving the state a monopoly on violence, which they insist upon, is not in our interests as citizens at this point.

more-gravy-please.bsky.social•111 days ago

Sorry, but a civil society simply cannot operate like that. I’m old enough to remember when left wing extremists decided violence was the answer (late 1960s to mid 1980s in Europe & US). Remember the Brigade Rosa or the Baader-Meinhof Gang (w/o Google)? Didn’t end well (for RW nuts like McVeigh too)

ashete.bsky.social•110 days ago

I am only familiar with baader-meinhof as a psychological phenomenon. Shamefully, I only know the others in the fact that they were MLs. Also, I think this guy was a RW nut, and infact represents a point of unity between typically opposed sides. Not really material to the rest of it.

ashete.bsky.social•110 days ago

McVeigh was crazy, hell, this guy was crazy. It doesn't mean I can't think he generated a good outcome. The actions of simpering bunches of plutocrat compromised politicians have generated tension in a America's people who more easily have access to the goings on of the world. And to misinformation.

ashete.bsky.social•110 days ago

Slowly, among such a population, it becomes a powderkeg, and talk about lesser evils comes across only as insincere, gets you nothing but scorn. People vote for an obviously insincere piece of shit, who lies constantly, but who promises them the world! So desperate are they for change.

unpaidmod.bsky.social•119 days ago

We tried asking nicely while they basically approve murders by denying care day in and day out

more-gravy-please.bsky.social•117 days ago

Says the person obsessed with video games & anime. I seriously doubt you even pay for your own health insurance.

Why not move to the UK & enjoy the fruits of the socialist healthcare utopia known as the NHS. Just make sure you don’t develop a serious medical condition requiring cutting edge care.

sarahdaniels.bsky.social•119 days ago

I’m not disagreeing that private healthcare sucks. I’m Canadian - don’t have that issue but we have wait times. But cheering a murder is not the answer. Healthcare that is decided by shareholders will never work. That’s the model that needs to be analyzed.

After this election, I'm convinced appealing to reason to Americans don't work. 33% voted 4 Trump. 33% stayed home. That's 67% of country either don't care or r too stupid & lazy to look up tariffs BEFORE the election. I always knew "smart phones" in the hands of the uninspired would be useless..

esme2000.bsky.social•119 days ago

Meanwhile, Trump pardoned Steve Bannon the coup d'tate traitor that tried to overturn 82M people.. that's the disparity we are working with here.. Also, Americans are pretty stupid and don't understand nuance. This is the only emotional thing the Trumpers agree with us on..

esme2000.bsky.social•119 days ago

The problem is NOBODY in our corporate media is talking about the broken "healthcare" system that only enrich the top 1% of the country. You know that the media here in the US is hyperventilating about? Joe Biden pardoning his son for crime that would normally be a slap on the wrist.

Ooooooooh. Burn. 🙄

paul4692.bsky.social•119 days ago

The sort of murder where the victim might be a wealthy person is wrong, you mean.
