    Yes. We are advocating for more acts. Because their acts have not changed. That’s how cause and effect works.

      And advocating for an increase in morally unjust acts is abhorrent behaviour.

        Argh, can’t downvote this one because the statement is true even though it doesn’t apply to the situation being discussed.

        This abhorrent behavior that folks are supporting on the left is fairly similar to the rights support of Kyle Rittenhouse’s abhorrent behavior

        Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder was in defense of himself, after he placed himself in a position to defend and support store fronts in another state

        Luigi Mangione murder was on the offensive due to the assumed corruption of the health care system and how that personally negatively impacted his life

        But the CEO was doing his job, the best he could. True

        Is the left going to start attacking everyone they perceive as negatively impacting their lives? Are they going to start killing cops, teachers, and doctors? Doubtful. Killing a cop isn’t going to fix a corrupt system and rarely can you point at a cop and directly correlate their decisions and actions to negatively impacting tens of thousands of individuals. Killing a teacher or a doctor wouldn’t make sense because these workers actions are largely on rails. They can only do so much until they run out of funding or time. Which is similar to the CEOs role. The major difference is that the CEOs have a lot more perceived autonomy. When they have to make a decision of general wellness for the majority vs record profits and they choose record profits due to academic training, pressure from peers, and legal reasons demanding profits for the stakeholders it exposes that the system is failing the majority of people. This directly leads to eating the wealthy because there must be some way to improve the situation that’s tried and true

        I’m not sure what the right perceives as go time to start taking action to protect themselves from oppression. I witnessed 09-11 as a child. That made sense why we went to war. Since then, seen lots of growing rage and shouts against oppression but I’ve been struggling to understand why from the rights perspective but it makes sense from the left perspective

          This is a crazy post. To clarify, there is a propaganda campaign that is pushing Brian Thompson as an everyday man, doing his best for his employees and stakeholders. The goal is to humanize him and make the logical leap that by killing Brian Thompson that the crazy leftist will start killing anybody just doing their job that they disagree with

          He made at over 10 million dollars last year, just from his employment as CEO

            “Anyone who makes 10 million dollars as an insurance CEO should be extrajudicially murdered” is the actual unhinged take.
