Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
One of them has, in the eyes of the law, not killed anyone. He has to be proven guilty for that, and the public does not have enough evidence to come to the conclusion that he did even if we disregard the principle of innocent until convicted by a jury.
Meanwhile the public does know for a fact that Thompson has killed thousands of people.
I asked a local youth their thoughts on the death of Brian Thompson. "Lol," he said. "Lmao."
I liked the way it was put on a recent episode of trillbillies: you're going against thousands of years of cultural programming to root for the underdog against the powerful (especially when the powerful in question has fucked many of us as well), and the guy you want us to root for instead is some asshole legal-killer CEO with severe goober-face.
No Shit
Amazing that these nerds have to poll for this.
Exclusive! 96% of people under 35 don’t like to eat poop!
Well, yeah, the health care system in the US is a disgrace. Everyone who's running it should, if we're feeling generous, be given the opportunity to resign and work towards making amends, or be shot dead.
All the billionaires, too. And a lot of other CEOs that enshittify their services to make a little more money.
Too many people are like "oh we can't talk about violence" while violence is being done to most of us every day.
We can't talk of violence against these ghouls because it is their lack of fear of us that allows such ghoulishness to continue.
The kids are alright.
I mean, it wasn’t old Americans making all the fancams
Lowest effort “exclusive”
Are you telling me that a 67 year old wealth hoarder didn't make this image?
What victim?
Boomers have the most to lose under our healthcare system if they haven't already and yet they turn around and side with the oppressor.
They either own, or are decisionmakers in, American companies where the threat of losing health insurance is a powerful incentive for their employees to stay and accept abusive employment situations.
i’m convinced the majority of Americans simply don’t care but feel compelled to answer considering cultural morals, so they choose to express some level of disapproval. not caring here is a symptom of political apathy which is itself a symptom of a exhaustion from living under an oppressive and failed ideology. they don’t care that he died, whatever. worse things to focus on. but they “know that’s wrong” and respond to these questions in the perceived expected way.
so in my mind, the people who don’t care and the people who sympathize with the shooter likely make up more than anyone who criticizes them. i haven’t met a single person who hasn’t had a terrible experience with health insurance. we have all suffered in the health care industry. brian thompson was a social murderer and a fucking parasite.
in the killing of health insurance CEOs there are no victims. only volunteers.
"I'm doing my part!"
