I’ve heard people suggest that school shooters stop butchering our kids, and instead throw their lives away doing something useful that will have them remembered as heroes.

There was a school shooting on the same day Thompson was killed. Without looking it up, can anyone name a single victim?

I’m not saying I support murder, but I don’t understand why I should care more about his life than those who are objectively more innocent.

We don’t care about his life either. It’s what he represents and how life goes on without him (possibly improved for people saved after execs have to fear for the policies they adapt).

it seems dangerous that they would explicitly name Lisa Monaco, Benjamin Mizer, and Elizabeth Prolegar as the corrupted DOJ people who support the health insurance cartel over the citizenry.

That’s fine, I’m pressuring the neighborhood schizophrenics to directly pressure healthcare CEOs.

Pressure is fun, right health insurance leaders? It can make all sorts of fun things happen. Brian knows knew this, if only for a few seconds.

I agree with you about CEO’s but please stop using schizophrenic people as a joke or prop.

Right? They probably mean Dissociative Identity Disorder too.

Idk usually that’s the case, but when I think “mentally ill in a way that’s susceptible to being pressured to kill rich people” I’m more inclined to think paranoid schizophrenics than did folks. Still shouldn’t use them as a joke like that.

This reminds me of a neat history lesson:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-the-tragedy-at-buffalo

History doesnt repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

It wasnt Czolgosz or Mangione that sat at the reigns of a murder machine sanctioned by baron-owned-state monopoly of violence.

Goldman, for her part, had such a big heart for those driven to desperate acts.

Throughout her detention and after her release, Goldman steadfastly refused to condemn Czolgosz’s actions, standing virtually alone in doing so. Friends and supporters—including Berkman—urged her to quit his cause. But Goldman defended Czolgosz as a “supersensitive being” and chastised other anarchists for abandoning him.[75] She was vilified in the press as the “high priestess of anarchy”,[76] while many newspapers declared the anarchist movement responsible for the murder.[77] In the wake of these events, socialism gained support over anarchism among US radicals. McKinley’s successor, Theodore Roosevelt, declared his intent to crack down “not only against anarchists, but against all active and passive sympathizers with anarchists”.[78]

Berkman wasnt shit. Emma was a real one
