Lemmy seems to have more crazies on it lately who are advocating for murder of innocent people just because they don't like them.
Reddit sucks and now Lemmy is going down the tubes. Hopefully these people either get banned or Lemmy servers that advocate for senseless violence get shut down.
Wow what a way to oversimplify the problem. Would you have been saying this in May 1945?
It's not oversimplified.
What's next? The guy who runs the corner gas station sells cigarettes at his store. Cigarettes are addictive and known to cause cancer. So this means the guy who owns the gas station should get murdered?
What about the CEOs of the gun companies? Should they get murdered because they put out a product that people use to kill others?
He's not the one making them, the cigarette companies are
[Censored]
Just because they don't like them? We're you able to keep a straight face while typing that?
This is why people are celebrating. They didn't like the person who was killed. They certainly wouldn't celebrate if someone didn't like one of their friends and their friend was murdered.
Your words are in human english, but your sentiment is that of some sort of unfeeling golem.
It's not only normal and OKAY to dislike evil money hoarding capitalist oligarchs, but it is our duty for the sake of the future of humanity.
Your defense of these "people" is quite disgusting. If you don't have 10+ million dollars you should be on the side that is rooting for a better future, not the side building underground bunkers and setting the air on fire.
It makes me not like you either.
So what, because you don't like me, you're going to murder me like the CEO was murdered? We just get to murder anyone we don't like now and it's somehow okay???
THAT'S the disgusting attitude, not someone who believes that people shouldn't murder others.
There's a difference between being annoying online and being hated because you think Scrooge McDuck wasn't greedy enough. No one is going to ice you for having bad tales on the Internet.
All I said was that I don't like you dipshit. I'm not some boogeyman who is now going to appear like Bloody Mary because I don't like you.
But if there was a post that said "Dipshit bootlicker murdered at his computer while typing apologist manifesto for the bourgeoisie" I'd probably be okay with it.
In a world rife with overpopulation, we don't need people who say "Maybe it IS okay for giant corporations to keep their boot on everyones neck."
do you hold stock in straw men or something? this person claiming they want to kill anyone they dislike? i don't think they exist, and if they do, they're clearly not in this conversation, so idk why you keep feeling the need to address them.
Where do you think they got the $10 million/year to pay this man? Who do you think instituted a policy to use AI for approvals/denials, which resulted in a 90% false rejection rate? What's crazy is acting like the murder of thousands of people through denial of medical care for money, if done from a sufficient distance, is somehow less abhorrent than doing it up close and with a gun.
Expecting people who have either been directly impacted or had family medical care impacted by the policies of this man to show sympathy for him isn't just unrealistic, it's deranged. Considering United is one of the largest insurance companies in the US, that's a lot of fucking people who are at best apathetic about the whole situation.
Obligatory 'I suspect some people who can't read might reply to this' disclaimer: obviously you shouldn't murder people. Including if you're a healthcare CEO and it's done by setting policies to squeeze the maximum profit out of people before they die.
No, people shouldn't murder individuals who work at companies they don't like.
And the people that run those companies, should they kill people depending on their company for healthcare if it makes them money?
