How fucked up is it that the day after the ceo of a major health insurance company was murdered in broad daylight,
The next day another health insurance company said they would no longer limit anesthesia during surgeries.
This makes me realize something, and it’s not what our sponsor or corporate donor wants me to believe.
‘We have to wait for elections to attempt to fix anything’ is just something we’ve been brainwashed to believe.
Enough people deciding they want change immediately makes it happen. Especially when those at the reigns fear immediate backlash.
Elections are theater as long as corporate campaign funding exists.
Elections were the deal. We’d vote for representatives and abide by their decisions rather than, y’know, killing people in the streets to change society.
When elections can’t change society, though. When the deal is broken, it’s back to the old ways.
Yep. The social contract has been destroyed. Time to stop holding up our end of it.
Yea we feast on their money while they get to serve it up voluntarily to stay clear of the guillotine.
I don’t want their money. It’s blood money, kind of like blood diamonds….
I’d take powerball though
It’s true. The YT link is for music. Here’s the article.

Is anything remotely likely to change as a result of this on a systemic level or otherwise?
Maybe some future school shooter wannabe will notice that they barely even report on school shootings anymore, and Uvalde even reelected the piece of shit sheriff that let all those kids die. Maybe they will see this shooter being treated like some kind of hero, and decide to hunt Billionaires or CEOs instead.
After enough of those, the world will be drastically improved, or the surviving billionaires will finally bring about some real gun control legislation.I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess nope. What do I win?
Elons carrying his kids around as human shields so there’s that.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Elon did nothing to compare with what Brian did.
Elon has really helped ramped up the societal breakdown by messing with the x algorithm. People are losing the plot.
That’s pretty far from causing the suffering and death of thousands, right?
Not really. He scammed Trump into the White House and there will be a lot of suffering and death in his mass deportation plans.
“will be”, eh? Well until he’s actually done his thousands of dead and suffering, try to keep some perspective.
And try to think for yourself a little.
Fuck up
I’m not sure, but locals tagged “Deny, Defend, Depose” near me. If nothing else, seems there’ll be good branding made of it.
Stop struggling and accept that lots of people are ok with advocating violence against evil people.
I’m curious how many of those opposing the current trend would agree with statements as simple as “It is a good thing that Adolf Hitler, author of the blitzkrieg and holocaust that killed millions of people, is dead.”
Like, I get that anytime Hitler comes up, a part of our mind sorts it into exaggerated allegory. But he was a real person, who existed - and, if he hadn’t died in mysterious circumstances, it would be up to Berlin’s invaders to decide what to do with him.
And, speaking honestly, would giving him an extensive trial and then spend the rest of his life in prison, able to spread his ideology and beliefs to other prisoners, be any better?
I mean, I don’t have a problem with people advocating violence against evil people.
But being happy or laughing does seem pretty tactless and frankly gross.
Death and violence may be necessary in many instances but it should never be glorified or celebrated, simply accepted.
Stop struggling and accept that lots of people are ok with advocating violence against
evilpeople.The Adjuster didn’t adjust the witness, merely the parasite.
The people took notice.
Good, the spineless hand wringing bootlicking fucking scumbags are losing. Wonderful to see.
And now they’re trying to make it about race, check this out.
They do this to divide and conquer. It’s a ploy to take the attention from billionaires at the moment and focus on left and right politics
They are afraid… for now there are no killer robots protecting them… But they sure try.
not losing anytime soon, just slightly annoyed, like letting the tip of the towel hit the wet floor
Something something and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t, etc. The only thing I feel bad about is if he
hashad young children who couldn’t understand he was a waste of skin, they have my sympathy.Feel worse for the millions of children that are parentless due to his policy decisions. His kids will be FINE.
Don’t forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who’ve lost children.
Crying from the 3rd floor of their yacht…
I would honestly go so far as to suggest that in the long term, not having this monster raise them (given they’ll still have plenty of money) probably leaves them better off.
They’re already teenagers. The damage has been done, but hopefully this act will help them decide not to follow in their father’s footsteps.
His kids are gonna be worse 20-40milliom per head.
They will be fine. I doubt they will ever understand why entire society turned on their parasite shitstain father.
Money doesn’t fix trauma, and childhood trauma is rarely fully healed. The kids did nothing wrong, and you should feel bad for them.
Like I said, my feelings are focused on those he harmed. Eat the fucking rich.
These execs are scared their own children will ask them to explain what they do for a living. Doubt they raise their kids as much as they pay someone else to do it. That being said, Elmo’s kids are stuck on a compound. That’s definitely going to mess them up.
His kids have been profiting off of the death he had a hand in. They’ll be just fine in their ivory towers, whatever happens.
It’s one thing to mock it on pseudonymous platforms like Reddit and the fediverse.
It’s another to do it somewhere linked to your real name and job like LinkedIn.
People really hate insurance companies.
Don’t do it under your names folks, regime will be making lists based on this.
They are scared and they will lash out.
With that being said, fuck that parasite.
FAFO

Help, I’m now physically inside my system, but it’s kinda hard to read the screen at this angle. Plus I’ve got to reach out for keyboard input…
No you don’t??
Just use an on-screen keyboard smh
They already have lists. The only hope we have is to stand together in solidarity as the working class against the billionaire capitalists entering power.
☝️
Yeah if they fuck with me they will find for sure.
lol @ thinking reddit is anonymous
i was talking about people commenting on linkedin actually…
nor did I suggest reddit is anon, but aint you aint got provide your full name and address.
You think having a fake online name will stop them from finding out who you are? Did you even pay attention to the Snowden leaks?
No, they said we already knew about that and didn’t give it another thought.
Make them spend more resources doing deanonymizations. First they have to get the IP from instance admins, then trace the tor routing, then the VPN that I use, then ask for my ISP. Make them do all that work.
(Or maybe they already have access by simply activating their backdoors within Intel ME, AMD PSP, and whatever baseband backdoor on the phones they have, and have just gotten everyone’s real identities in an instant, we can’t know for sure.)
They also have backdoors in most implementations of TLS, according to a person I know who worked government security.
Still takes more work than just giving them that information.
It wouldn’t be impossible. There are like so many different certificate issuers, any one of them collaborating with a government would allow them to create a certificate that would be accepted by your browser.
It is almost never a question of whether it’s possible or not. You WILL make a mistake. It’s just a question of how much effort you’re worth as an individual.
right, don’t make it easy for them. plus they got prolly got half a country to put on the list now.
When everyone is on the list, noone is.
LinkedIn is one of the least sane social media sites I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Under all the marketing BS and obviously fake feel good stories lie takes that would make your insane Facebook uncle blush.
I used to work for a big data company that tracked shares to various social networks and the frequency with which people share porn to LinkedIn was remarkably high.
What?! How?! So I can learn to avoid it!
Maybe it was only-secretaries dot com.
I need a direct link to be sure
People are too hung up about anonimity on the internet. When one of my country’s worst journalistic shitrags mandated a real name policy due to the rampant racism and other -isms in the comment section of their articles… nothing changed. People are happily spewing the same vile rethoric as before and proud to, instead of being shamed into silence.
My only concern is that I hope this doesn’t become an Archduke Ferdinand for an American Civil War part 2.
But how…? Are Magas sad/angry that this happened? Most likely it’s the opposite. This is a poor/middle-class vs rich/ultra-wealthy scenario. I guess unless Fox tells/tricks them to be angry and blame liberals, but I’m sure plenty of them are not upset about this. I see it as “the enemy of my enemy” type deal.
Yeah, even the MAGA people I know are like “aight, cool”
This is the most united America has been since 911
If that’s the case then it will just be the class war heating up because one side finally started fighting back.
So few of them, so many of us
united healthcare? how many divisions do they have?
They united the people against them. That’s living up to half the name, I guess.
🤣
🤣
Who would’ve guessed reddit mods couldn’t grow a pair even if presented with a ball-growing pill
In fact, a moderator from a subreddit we hadn’t reached out to for comment reached out because they heard we were contacting moderators to speak about this. They said every instance they were aware of of the surveillance video of Thompson’s death being removed had not been moderators—who, as a reminder, are unpaid volunteers—but Reddit’s paid administrator team that enforces the sitewide terms of use.
Sure, I’ve read both that and r/nursing parts; but I’m talking about those volunteers who do remove that stuff. I mean, yeah, promoting violence bad, and so on, but maybe the twatwaffles who refuse to build a proper universal healthcare system need to see that ppl support the shooter, and not the attempts of the community to censor itself?
Good. Let the celebration continue.
EAT. THE. RICH.
Too much fat, it’d be unhealthy.
Separate the fat. Make soap with it. Sell it to the rich.
Tell them the soap removes toxins and you’ll make a killing. Heh.
Wouldn’t that be two killings?
Turn the rich into soap and clean this society up!
COMPOST. THE. RICH.
They not that much just take a bite and give it to the next
first shot of the revolution
The poor News mods here are looking forward to mundane Spam removals at this point.
Fuck 'em.
Insurance companies hate this one weird trick! Find out more at spamwebsite.tk!
How about mundane spelling mistake bans?
Serious? People are reacting with laughing emojis? Really?

It’s not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.
While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it’s size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.
And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.
And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.
Hopefully more of the FO part comes out of the woodwork.
Not a lot of finding out so far though.
“Mob justice” is a boogeyman invented to distract you from the fact that the cops and the state give you no justice at all.
It’s not even mob justice, it’s vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.
The mob never called for this CEO’s death, we’re just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn’t actively call for people to be killed.
If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.
Yeah, and that’s all true, but in the comment I replied to was room for the implication that “mob justice” is a problem somehow.
We’re told it would be chaos, some great threat to society, but like, the only examples of mobs that I can think of doing any real damage are groups whose immediate aims were supported by the ruling class. Lynchings in the US south were openly permitted and encouraged by the entrenched white supremacist police state. Witch burnings were encouraged by the state to disenfranchise women from power over their own bodies, and they laid the foundations for capitalism.
Then those horrific examples of state oppression are presented to us as examples of the horrors that await if we were to ever stop bowing to that same state and take matters into our own hands.
Even if the person making the comment didn’t intend to reinforce that notion, it’s a default assumption for many people and I didn’t want it to stand unchallenged.
Fuck Around, Find Out?
You got it.
Is karma.
This guy is probably gonna get folk songs in TikTok by now
We don’t know the implications of this. But there got to be something big coming our way.
Ruling class will not have their lieutenant punished like this in a broad day light with out lashing out.
They already despise as is, they gonna step up brutality imho screw here, screw there.
That’s just going to pour gas on the fire. The less people have to lose, the more likely they’re going to take matters into their own hands.
You aint wrong but ruling class can’[t accept one of their officers being gunned down by what appears to be a pleb with vendetta and he get away with it while rest of us cheer him on as a hero.
This is about power, and the the people with power feeling insecure.
Time will tell. I expect things to get worse before/if they ever get better for the working class.
History is rhyming again.
Suggest reading about the circumstances running up to the storming of the Bastille.
