“those who make monopolistic fortunes off the sick while also dictating refusal of care to the sick” is hardly arbitrary, though, is it. It’s quite a high bar to clear, that. It’s rational too, since they do many orders of magnitude more harm than e.g. a death row inmate, whom society is content to destroy.
Okay, so why is this murder but having a profit driven system that aims to deny healthcare in the name of protecting profits not a kind of mass murder?
Is it not a system designed to let people die if they don’t have enough money?.. And that same system lobbies government (using substantial amounts of money) to PREVENT lives being saved, does it not?
This seems to be whatever else you think of it, an intentional means of assuring suffering, pain, and death will occur in a massive way.
It’s mass manslaughter. Barely one step removed from mass murder.
Bro you really think the shareholders wouldn’t just kick him out if he didn’t deliver? He’s not the owner of the company and he didn’t implement this political system
It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
I am not celebrating. It’s a tragedy, even if a predictable one. We’ll all do better with a little more cooperation and a lot less greed.
I don’t like it when people die, or get maimed.
If I say that I can understand how something like this happens, it’s not out of sympathy for the murderer. It’s just an accounting of facts amidst the fact that billions of people exist so obviously someone is going to be willing to kill for their perceived injustices. Especially when injustices are a lot more concrete than abstract.
Technically, and in reality, it’s not a tragedy. Technically, dying from a pre-existing condition as a health insurance exec is a comedy. In reality, it’s a net positive for society.
The left is doomed if it accepts to never use violence. This was the final lesson of both the Paris Commune in the 1850s and the Democratically elected Socialist Allende in Chile in the 1970s.

Nice try moron, work on that reading comprehension.

This oligarch is the system… This oligarch made the decisions to implement those policies. They are, after all, the CEO.

Buddy if you think it’s just the left operating this way I have some beach front property in Arizona for a good price.

Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel.
I’m thinking a lot about this one.
I’d agree. He likely got great comedic value from the people dying as a result of his decisions; and thinks those people being healthy is a tragedy.

The ruling class isn’t a “civilian”, because they literally command armed forces.
While not always called “armies”, their function is the same: Secure the interest of the capitalist class.
Just like I wouldn’t call the POTUS a “civilian”, as the POTUS commands an armed force.
