While funny, this incident has done absolutely nothing to better the healthcare system. If anything it has only highlighted how tone death the media and ruling class are to the issue
they reversed the decision on time limits for anesthetics. It's a start.
Not in a lasting way. They'll just bake it in next quarter
Do you have any proof that was linked to the shooting and not just a coincidence?
Theyβre gonna go ahead and limit them even further a week from now. Nobody is going to do shit about it.
That's the funny thing about popular uprisings - the people are passive, until they are not. A lot of dictators and tyrants thought the people they opressed were weak and malleable, only to get massacred, and their lifeless body paraded through the streets.
Systemic violence breeds resentment, and unless a few people at the top start pumping the brakes and reverse course, the floodgates will open, just has they have many times before in history.
I mean if killing a CEO every week to keep pushing it back a week is the only solution then...
Sometimes violence is the spark that brings systemic change. If there isn't an implicit threat that misbehaviour of the ruling class might result in them being dragged out into the street and shot, then all politics become meaningless, and we might as well relocate ourselves to the slave paddock.
Highlighting the issue through all the propaganda isn't exactly nothing.
It doesn't take all that much for the plebs to understand how much they outweigh the ruling class. And that they can end it if they choose to do so.
The propaganda machine is huge and fickle, it takes a lot of constant work to maintain it. It can crumble quickly if it gets hit or can't work properly no longer (proper foss media).
