i mean yeah, generally when a society idolizes a killer, it's not for a particularly good reason (society wise)
and before anybody tries to yap about it, no there would only be a potential long term benefit to this kind of thing, slight shift in politics, maybe on the extreme end a government uprising, which will take many a year to come to fruition, and cause many years of instability. Generally these kinds of things only bring short term problems, when acted upon, humans are just animals, the salem witch trials happened for a reason, if left unchecked, this would turn into a bloodbath very quickly. Lots and lots of people would die. most of them not billionaires.

The romanticisation of a murderer is quite frankly astounding. You can agree with his side of the discussion and not be ok with murder. I don't think enough people get that.

The CEO was responsible for thousands of deaths, and the law doesn't give a fuck. It was all legal.
In this case, I'm genuinely ok with the murder.
-
I'm not just okay with it, I endorse it as much as Brandenburg v Ohio allows me to. People should be out there bringing actual justice to legal mass murderers.

No hate to you, but this is very naive. We won’t bring upon change with our votes or protests, every politician wants a cut of that pie, and they have no reason to listen to our protests. Legal murderers like Brian Thompson have done things that warrant worse than the death penalty, and this is just their actual justice. You have to admit, they are scared of us, even if it’s one last time.

I might be misunderstanding something but I think you just called the person you were replying to very naive, and then fully agreed with them?

Looking back I interpreted in a way. My bad lmao

You can be against the actions of health insurance companies and not be ok with murder.

Are you talking about Luigi or about CEOs?

What are you even saying?
All throughout history, murder was almost a requirement for creating a better life for people. If we hit a point in society where murder is not okay, that takes away the one final chip the working class has against the rich.
Even just looking at the health insurance side of things, we're talking about a horrible ethically misaligned industry that makes murder look like shoplifting. Ideally no murder has to happen, but it becomes a lot more grey from a utilitarian perspective and when considering the sheer scale that the world operates at.

It's because nuance in an internet discussion is very hard. All people participating must target mutual understanding and not just trying to win an argument.
-
You're not wrong, but you're getting down voted... Lemmy, you crazy.
Everyone is allowed an opinion.
In my opinion, when discussion doesn't work, action is required, and sometimes that action is wacking a dude to prove a point, or simply to remove the harm they're causing to society.
I'll give an example. Hitler.
Do I need to say more?
