      i will never understand how there isnt a constant stream of people finding out theyve got X months left to live, because the medical care that would save their life is prohibitively expensive, objecting to the situation with [parody and satire] at corporate offices [in minecraft]

          no, i dont.

          the fact is that there are innumerable people for whom this disgusting corporate insurance death profiteering is a reality of their murder-through-neglect.

          some portion of whom have killed other people.

          the fact that none of them are inclined to take out retributive justice on the people murdering them, but that there are school shootings every fucking week, is shocking.

          Sure - but it only takes one person who would kill who realizes they legitimately have nothing left to live for, and the people in those board rooms are why, to make a headline about it.

          Makes me wonder how much health care companies spend on security guards and keeping the media quiet, honestly.

            As a person who may have worked for the devil in the past, security normally is surprisingly light. But you would have to know the systems, look the part to sneak inside, and get away with a lot of variables. Plus, as the guy above said, you'd had to be willing to pull the trigger.

            Isn't this functionally the same as just saying "nobody's gonna go to a school and shoot random kids", though?

            Like, yeah, no normal person would. That doesn't mean it can't happen, and, y'know, it clearly has. Yeah, if only a handful of people per year were told "you've got 12 months left to live unless you cough up a million bucks for treatment", I'd agree - but at the rates the US sees? At some point, someone who's broken enough to consider actually doing it is gonna get that news.

            I wouldn't expect it to be a common occurrance, obviously, but the fact it hasn't happened even once is kinda weird.

            A guy dying of cancer has the choice to either spend time with his loved ones in relative peace or blow all his savings on guns and body armor to get his ass shot off by a bunch of armed mall cops at Pfizer HQ.

            other mass shootings occur.

            the point here is not "lol all sick people should grab guns and spend their last days going out in a hail of bullets!"

            its that of all the countless shootings that occur, for many varied reasons, it is genuinely surprising that none of them target the executives that are responsible for killing people.

                feel like youre imagining this as some sort of "only cowards who dont have good reasons will take violent action!" thing which is patently false.

                :william-van-spronsen: :john-brown:

                whether or not it would be successful isnt relevant. there hasnt been an attempt by anyone, leftwing rightwing centrist disillusioned-cia whatever, to take out anyone behind preventable medical death.

                over the course of decades, with millions of bodies, with nearly every person in amerikkka has been affected by this is some way, that is surprising

                        no you clearly do not understand my point.

                        i never said everyone should automagically become walter white, i said its fucking weird that not one person, of the millions upon millions of people whose lives have been destroyed by the medical industry, has gone after those ceos.

                        "most people dont want to kill" no shit. but none have done so, even when many many veterans have been adversly effected. not one of those trigger happy cops has gone off the deep end against pfizer for medical-neglecting their mom into an early grave. nothing.

                        fuck but im beyond done with this conversation, its like your purposely ignoring the point you claim to be getting

                            and yet there have been many mass murders based around trying to "fix" the existence of other religions, minorities, etc.

                            do you think the christchurch shooter thought he could individually murder all the mosques away?

                            there have been shootings trying to "fix" anything and everything, near fucking none of which could ever be fixed by a person shooting up a school, bar, club, or other gathering of people.

                            arguing that the "logic" of it doesng make sense is absurd

                                significantly more likely

                                right okay. and of all the people that dont do that, how many have had the capability and inclination to seek retribution against the people causing their death?

                                why is it apparently zero, despite the fact that so many people who have the capability and inclination to kill other people are affected?

                                do you think no one has had the means motive and opportunity to cross off a major company exec or twelve over the past forty years? because apparently no one has tried.

                                these are all rhetorical
