I understand the word play and see the effort making the corresponding image, but the glorification of this person is not acceptable for me. There’s a line between malicious joy and glorification or open call for violence. Even in meme format. Maybe I’m the party pooper here, but I can’t grasp the collective hate the last days.
Maybe you’d understand better, if you or someone you love had to suffer from arbitrarily denied UHC insurance claims.
For some this action seems to be a drastic move to hold someone accountable for the pain he caused, who couldn’t be held accountable though other means.
Exactly. I, an everyday normal person just like you, think that murdering CEOs is bad. I am definitely not saying that because I am a CEO of a health insurance company. It is important that health insurance CEOs be spared, and not at all for personal reasons! We- i mean they deserve to live. This is an opinion that all normal everyday people - of which I certainly am one myself - should share.
people don’t like a boot on their head. in a broken system violence often is the answer. the outpouring of support you’re seeing for our new folk hero is the collective masses cheering one less fucking boot on their head.

Healthcare CEO be like.
Nobody cares.
Expected average lemmy.ml answer. Just remain in your bubble.
This bubble seems pretty large and all inclusive from where I’m sitting. You and those defending this vile system are on the outs.
