not a terrible point really, but it's also important to remember how quickly "kill bad guy to save many good guy" can turn into some government just labeling anyone who disagrees with them a bad guy and killing them, or can turn into anarchy. either way preventing murder from taking place, however justified, is an important part of what keeps society from collapsing.
But society is collapsing. The system is completely failing to prevent murder on an industrial scale.
We just elected Trump for a second time. The next four years will make the problems that let that happen even worse. This is what societal breakdown looks like. We're just in the slow phase right now.
in other words, we are in the phase where we can still save it
Maybe. If so, yesterday was a step in the right direction.
Bro.. People die daily when parasite earnns his salary, I don't see you pontificating stopping collapsing society then lol
IRL joker sent a clear message and peasants voting online
Regime whores won't even condemn it because they are now scared haha
Get fucked parasites.
get some reading comprehension buddy, I don't disagree with OP. I'm just urging people to remember the potential consequences of something like this becoming too common.
did you urge unitedhealth executive team that "either way preventing murder from taking place, however [UN]justified, is an important part of what keeps society from collapsing."
lol
again, I don't disagree with op. I'm only saying that we need to mind the consequences of this kind of thing. also, modifying a quote is dishonest. I did not place [UN] in front of justified, because part of my point was that the assassination of that CEO was justified. so in summary, you need to improve your reading comprehension.
I added when direct to the United health socne them killing them people is UNjusitgied*
While I don't disagree this is a slippery slope issue, the plebs have been fucked so hard and this job has been done so well, I think pedons are entitled to savour it.
Dude literally killed the parasite and didn't harm harm any one else.
That's what a hero looks like and we need him.
