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.
I don’t think shooting executives is actually going to improve the healthcare, though.
Almost every movement that started randomly assassinating people from among the enemy side in order to reform civil society wound up making things quite a bit worse, in the long run.
Yeah, randomly. This isn’t random, and needs to go beyond just CEOs. There are entire boards that make these decisions to murder us. Like potato chips, you can’t stop with just one. They don’t like us murdering them? Then they need to stop murdering us.
And then, when the violence turned around on him, with a gang of deputized Proud Boys breaking into his workplace and starting to execute people for being “woke” and ruining the country, he looked around, like “we’re all looking for the guy that did this.”
I’m not trying to say this particular CEO didn’t deserve it. But also, what the outcome is, is important. Calling for killing as the easy answer is something people do when they’re not familiar with killing.
Oh, there’s a way out, but we’re not allowed to say it. Pray to St. Luigi for guidance…
