All they’ll do is make sure to make even more profits to cover the cost of a bodyguard next time.

Even if you were right though and it did work, will someone simply move on to the next target? and the next? and the next? Negotiations with such “terrorist” activities (literally: with the design to inspire fear in the minds of the recipient) usually never ends well… b/c even if you mean well, the next person seeing that and following along does not. i.e. where does it end?

It opens the floodgates to a breakdown of law & order in society. And for the sake of argument let’s say that’s a good thing: what then? Who is prepared to build back up a new & better one - especially against the onslaught of literal kids making ghost guns and having learned that Might Makes Right, goes around vigilante-justice killing anyone who offended them, e.g. the person who most recently dumped them? (how dare they, don’t they know that i’M sUcH a NiCe GuY!?)

It’s short-term thinking at best. Also: I don’t see how “healthcare” would result from any of this?

But you are right: we aren’t allowed to say much here, on Discuss.Online. The acronym agencies are watching us right now, and moreover that’s just not what this instance is all about - there too, if someone wants to build something “better”, like a community where deeper discussions could be had, then someone needs to step up and actually do it. I’d add a link to it in the sidebar fwiw.
