First, I always like to recognize good image transcription, thank you OP.

I really dislike violence, and would never advocate for it; a just society offers better more evolved means of accountability and remedy.

But the idea that it should feel dangerous to be a billionaire resonates down to my marrow.

Yeah I agree, but we dont really live in that society anymore. All attempts at reform are sidelined and corporate interests are put over our own constantly. I don't like it either, but people have a breaking point and they can only take so much. If we had a stronger aca that wasn't gutted by industry maybe there wouldn't have been motive here.

Unfortunately, the ACA was gutted before it was signed. While it reduced the number of uninsured (by a lot), it is ultimately just another way public money could be funneled into these insurance companies.

But we don't live in a just society.

I really dislike violence

There is many types of violence,
It isnt just physics one.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, everyone gets upset about physical violence, but so few people care about the systemic violence perpetuated against the lower classes.

And that's really beyond my understanding...
