They're afraid!

I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

It so so damn American to try to fix healthcare with gun violence

Nah man. It’s pretty revolutionary. Which is pretty not American.

That’s part of the American mythos that’s honestly not much more than brainwashing. There is no “revolutionary American spirit.” Not since the country was founded, actually. Sure, leaving the British, but then…nothing. I don’t think we can call something that last happened in the 1700s “part of who we are.” We are the face of global hegemony and capitalism.

We’re not all still sperm just because that’s how we became people, yknow what I mean?
