if a company put obscene profits before my treatment and I'm slowly dying in pain and fear then so are the ghouls who decided that money was more important than my treatment.

What have I got to lose?
Prison, I'll be dead before that happens.
Death sentence? I've already got one, thanks.
Damnation in hell? If there is a god and heaven then I'm pretty sure I'd be going up there if I take out a few billionaires. I have nothing to lose, they have everything.

The problem is that illnesses like these leave you with no energy. Hard to do much of anything.

Good point! Everyone start making contingency plans now!

I can only assume most of these people have spouses and kids, because that thought goes through my head too, or we'd definitely see more terminal vigilantism.

That's why they followed orders, no?

And most people can sympathize with the low level workers at the actual physical location, while the ceo and others at the top aren't necessarily easy to track and find.

I'd be curious to hear what the 'acceptable targets' are from people who casually talk about what they would do if they were in the situation described. I know I would hesitate at every single one. It's too easy to imagine how someone has been fucked over by our society's system, and the pain it will cause for them to die. Doesn't even matter if it's a rich fuck bastard like the asshole with two kids and an estranged wife that was popped the first time uhc got its teetee slapped.

Everyone, even evil people, have kids. Their kids will probably grow up to be evil so what is your point exactly?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

The evil people would go after the families of dying vigilantes.
