What difference does it make? You think assassinating randos is going to help anything? How?

randos

How was this a rando? They premeditated killing this rando?

But - a lot (most/all?) of social rights we have now were achieved exactly like that. When protesting fails, politicians don’t step in (or are defending the corporations), something at some point brakes.
You know, the guillotine story. And they invented that when corporations/wealthy families had much less wealth concentrated than today.

Then we get system changes like actual effective healthcare. The ugly historical truth is only violence gets noticed & harder to hide. And it’s not like the next CEO won’t be very aware of what happened to his predecessor.

No… killing CEOs has not produced effective social change at any point. The thing about it is that they’re just going to appoint someone else. It literally makes no difference for the system, they have plenty of volunteers for the job. There won’t be any change in business, they’ll just hire a security detail.

This is exactly it - we are taught words work, but in reality that is just so that violence can be condemned when it happens to important people.

And no, people eventually stop working for a monarchy that goes through one king per year.

Dude wasn’t a rando, he was definitely targeted.

What if he was targeted because he was going to do something that was good but unprofitable? Did you ever think about that?

Are you defending a CEO of an American Health insurance company on the astronomically small chance he would give a pittance anything that would help anyone?

Fuck dude, That’s a weak ass strawman.

Take a moment and go look the dude up and what his company has done under his direction.

Stop simping for thise who would charge you for life saving healthcare.
