The hatred for CEOs scares me. Luigi being worshipped for potentially murdering someone truly scares me. "But I also hate this group so I'm fine with it" is really dangerous...it's not ok for someone anti abortion to kill an abortion provider, and it's not ok to kill CEOs either.

Thank you in advance for my downvotes they are a compliment ❤️

The CEO is a murderer. He is an accomplice in preventing people from getting the healthcare they need by jacking up prices and denying claims.

The shooter (which is not necessarily Luigi) directly helped the working class by making it clear being such a shit person as Brian Thompson is dangerous. And this is sadly one of the rare effective methods of taking down this corrupt system.

well said you are very far down the radicalization funnel

when will you take up arms for the cause?

Do you agree with abortion doctors being shot dead?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How is abortion relevant here? I'm in full support of women having the right to make decisions about their body.

Someone that sees an abortion doctor as a murderer could feel justified shooting them. You said the CEO is a murderer, and the shooter directly helped the working class and that's one of the rare effective methods of taking down this corrupt system. It's justifications.

Do you see the issue with these justifications?

These are extreme times, people are going to hold extreme views. Most people are going to have a problem with those who are anti-extremist to the point that they imply moral equivalence between the extreme left and the extreme right. Yes, violence is generally bad. No, not all violence is equally unjustified.
