Go ahead fuckers. If I didn’t have so much to lose I’d go take out one of those fucks myself

I mean, they should be monitoring me because I want to see them toppled and replaced with a democracy, not just because I like seeing rich assholes get assassinated.

If the list includes everyone, what good is the list?

Of course they are.

...well let me say here for whoever in the FBI / DOJ might be monitoring: the health insurance industry is a pox on american civilisation and stochastic remediation is the inevitable manifestation of celebrated principles of the declaration of independence...

So what'll this be called, The Health Scare? Ref. The Lavender Scare and all other scares there's been.

Sooooo, most people.

I don't know if I would trust an American who doesn't have a negative view of the health insurance industry

You know, anyone making negative comments… The bees go get 'em.

The fun part will be when Trump rips apart the alphabet soup intelligence apparatus and displaces much of the senior leadership. Those guys have spent decades building webs of deep and strong connections, and I would be 0% shocked if those guys were able to successfully mount an insurgency against the Trump presidency, and they'll likely take with them the list of dissidents and malcontents to contact.

Idk, I just think it'd be peak comedy if, after sponsoring right wing movements around the world for seventy years, CIA leadership was forced into leading a left-wing counter revolution here at home

I have a negative view of health insurance companies. In fact, I have a negative view of corporations, from the local mom-&-pops that underpay their employees and expect long hours, to Amazon. They all suck.

But people who create policies that cause immense loss of life (and cost and destruction) are really asking for ten-plus times the vengeance that actually comes their way.

I'm not interested in that vengeance since it won't solve the problem, but I don't begrudge those who suffer at their hands from wanting to kill them back.

They can't monitor everyone. With AI they think they can, that's our biggest advantage

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

I would like to be on your list
