Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society? (lemmy.ca)

While it's very unlikely that someone has a definitive answer, this question popped into my head after the assassination of the UHC CEO and it's been bothering me that I can't shake off this feeling that more is likely to happen (maybe not in higher frequency but potential).

Usually I could provide counter-arguments to myself in a realism/(should I buy apples or oranges comparison) kind-of sense but this one I feel more unsure about.

I wish I had more diverse exp in systems analysis as these kinds of questions that linger in my head really irritates my OCD brain as I just want to know what's the most likely answer.

I am surprised people have been tolerating the fuckening so well so far.

We live in a richest country and majority life is shit.

Fake news endlessly tells us to just accept it.

A dead CEO is a good message, it is provocative and it got people going.

School shooting copy cats were many... One can only pray that mentally unstable people can find a better targets going forward since shootings ain't stopping.

Might as well be these parasites.
