All we need is for a handful of people to decide they'd rather shoot up a board meeting than a school. I don't think that's out of reach
Legit kinda surprised this hasnt happened more often, especially after Mr. Mangione ALLEGIDLY did the thing he's accused of, I know there have been a few that were quickly covered up but not on the scale of the school shootings we've seen
I've been saying for over a decade that I can't believe more healthcare companies haven't been targeted in that fashion. A ton of people get murdered every year and a ton of people face potential death due to healthcare being prohibitively expensive. How is there not more people both willing to murder someone and angry at healthcare companies in one form or another? It seems like an inevitable outcome of the system we've built.
Jesus now that I'm thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.
I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.
I remember being a pretentious film minor and turning my nose up at it as heavy handed. Watched it again in like ‘11 I think. Actually a really good play on the heist movie with a real world point. And Denzel cooks like he always do
I watched some documentaries about Earth Liberation Front, and feel like something similar is coming. But instead of saving environment, it would be about saving privacy and democracy. And it will end the same. Immediate recognition as domestic terrorists by the government and huge investigation to destroy the movement. Saving humanity is crime that has to be immediately stopped. And anything that supports corporations is sacred, even pedophilia.
