This was an individual who helped make the system. Brian Thompson was directly responsible for it’s creation.
Bro he’s been CEO since 2021… You really think he created the entire system?
His killing has overnight launched a nationwide discussion about how bullshit the current system is. There is immense value in that. It ain’t a problem.
Are there other ways to spark a discussion that don’t involve murder? Better options that have an overall more beneficial outcome for everyone with less chaos and death? I think so.
If the public really wanted change they could’ve demanded it long ago. This is a democracy (even if FPTP is shitty). Why would you not vote for the party that wants to make healthcare more humane and instead vote the party and guy for president who’s a public oligarch and thinks of the working class as beneath him.
Ethically the things Brian Thompson did were bad sure. But if he granted every healthcare request would the investors replace him? Most likely yes.
I believe you also cross a line when you argue that self-justice is right. Are rich people just gonna get murdered now since they’re rich? Like bc the capitalistic system favours people that already have wealth? Where is the line. Can I now murder anyone I think is a bad person? I don’t think this behaivor should be supported.
You don’t even know the guy… you see him as a demonised person and now his family and friends have lost him for no real change to have taken effect. I just hope this discussion just simmer down and the public will ignore the issue again.
