Just saying you would not have done so. Doesn't acknowledge why he did so from his perspective and experiences. If you're truly offended by his actions, what action would you have taken to get a similar or better result?

why he did so from his perspective and experiences

What was his perspective and what were his experiences?

If you're truly offended by his actions, what action would you have taken to get a similar or better result?

What was the result he got?

What was his perspective and what were his experiences?

I'm sure you've read about it based on your messages in this thread. The tldr is that he was upset that treatments exist for his back issues that aren't being provided without person's going through many obstacles

From my experience, to be offered a similar treatment it cost me four years of my time to go back and forth with many doctors and spending more than 10k out of pocket deductibles not including what I pay for health care insurance

What was the result he got?

So far seems global awareness for the suffering within the States surrounding our health care system

Imo he has reminded the left that violence and gun ownership isn't just a hobby for conservatives

So then, why do you support the CEO of UHC? What would you have done to improve access to healthcare in the United States?

Can you provide me a source that quotes the killer saying that this was the reason he killed Brian? I've heard this speculation before, but you asked what I would do if I had the confirmed experience of the killer, so you'll need to provide me with exactly what that was for me to give you a better answer than what I would do based on my experience.

So far seems global awareness for the suffering within the States surrounding our health care system

Can you quantify that? How many people were previously unaware and are now aware.

Then, what is the value of that awareness? What has it achieved, in concrete terms?

So then, why do you support the CEO of UHC?

I don't think you should be murdered because someone doesn't like you. Would you say that means I support you?

What would you have done to improve access to healthcare in the United States?

This implies that murdering someone improves access to healthcare in the US. I don't agree with that premise.

I'm not getting paid to waste your time. I got a feeling your either less than 22, are being paid to the waste my time, or get off from this

I wish you the best of luck in your campaign

So you're good to engage right up until the hard part of defending your claims.

I wonder if there's a term for that...

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Based on other responses in this thread. I think it's called sealioning

[–] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, so you're sealioning. Thanks for clarifying.

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You caught me. Thank you for keeping me honest

Have you considered the same?

Oh it doesn't matter. Good luck, finding yourself

[–] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And I sincerely hope your mission to spread misinformation and label opinions you disagree with as propaganda fails spectacularly.

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You got me. Good luck finding yourself

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you have any evidence for that statement?

Happy to!

We'll go in order of priority. You start by backing up your claims that you've used to justify the celebration of a murder and the advocacy for more of it.

And then I can do mine about the finding myself or whatever.

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah uh, I've totally provided more evidence founded on facts. Your turn to put some effort in

Good luck finding yourself btw

[–] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago

I've totally provided more evidence founded on facts.

You specifically declined to provide that evidence. Instead opting to just call things you don't like "propaganda".

[–] Jim9222@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

You're good at fighting though and keeping the battle on your terms. Best of luck to you as you get better at it
