Im glad every time I im reminded when that CEO died. I'd like more of that warm feeling.
I hope that heartless, sociopathic pile of shit had time before he lost consciousness to feel as alone and confused and scared as he made so many hundreds of thousands of people feel to line his pockets with more money than he'd ever know what to do with.
The ceo caused the prolonged distress of tens of thousands of people, that is far longer than a normal lifespan.
he took
Oh really? Where's his conviction?
And I don’t even know this guy. No way I’d recognize any of these people from a jury box.
who did nothing to him
Except deny him medical care and put him into a massive medical debt.
But he didn't do that personally, so it's not his fault /s
Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.
Except the president has much less control over gas prices than an insurance CEO has control over their half of the deal.
Yes... Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.
Yeah, they will say all kinds of funny and/or dangerous shit when their definition of rational and logical argument is “the one that produces my answer.”
I find that those who cry most about wokeness are those most infected with the broke mind virus.
One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus". Empathy requires continual effort to maintain your commitment to the well-being of others, something that's more and more challenging these days.
But abandoning empathy? Giving yourself over to fear, greed, and hatred requires no effort or commitment, and the longer you maintain such a vile, poisonous state of mind, the more you become such in such a perspective.
But, as we know, projection projection projection 😝
Their abandonment of empathy is perhaps the greatest reason why I revile them.
A mentality of fear, superiority, bravado, main character syndrome, otherism (a fear of altruism), superstition, religious indoctrination, paranoia, the lost cause…
even conservative immigrants are in the find out phase. Broken minds.
Be woke, or be broke. All my homies respect trans rights, and personal pronouns.
One of the stupidest parts is labeling "woke", aka empathy, as a "mind virus".
At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.
I was unaware that being an empathetic person required any effort.
It requires far more effort than hatred to maintain a self capable of empathy. For many, they feel it is an insurmountable challenge to come to terms with the people they are and the actions they’ve committed.
That's weird because it requires no effort on my part to be empathetic.
Doesn't it though?
Do you not see your internal suffering by seeing other people suffering as work? You could force yourself to stop caring and then you wouldn't have to carry that weight off other's suffering.
No, I don't see it as work. It doesn't require any additional effort on my part. It takes more effort for me to not care.
as i have told those around me repeatedly, i am fundamentally incapable of not feeling empathy all the time, it's fucking miserable
I totally understand; I think many of us kinda choose to ignore/accept the cost of maintaining an empathetic perspective, simply because we are unwilling to accept the alternative.
But everyone walks their own path! In any case, I applaud your way of thinking.
Studies have shown that conservatives have smaller areas of the brain related to a sense of empathy on average compared to others. It could be said that they are outright physically less capable of feeling empathy compared to the rest of the population.
How dare you cheer on the alien from "Alien" dying at the end of the movie. She was a mother!
Just a single mother trying to feed her kids. smh
Ripley was an anchor baby.
If you're talking about the Powerloader/Queen fight, that was the second one.
Aliens, that s is very important and it actually conveys a lot about what the movies are about.
Exactly, they're about why the fuck did they write out Newt
All this whole CEO murder thing is is an effective application of Reagan's "Trickle Down" economics...
You make... cuts... at the top, and things get better for everyone else.
Are you telling me Reagan was too "woke" for today's conservatives!?
Maybe he meant it was some Scott Pilgrim style trickle down. When you shoot a healthcare CEO, they explode into an avalanche of coins for the people to collect.
I was a child when I lost a parent to cancer. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that it occurred to me to wonder whether or not they’d have lived if we’d had health insurance. And this was decades ago. Of and years after that before I thought about what if we’d had universal healthcare.
Fuck all ceos. Also private equity.
A dad, like I'm supposed to care that this guy nutted in some skank.
I'd be a dad..
If I got paid fair wages for my labor, had the means to care for a family and my partner was able to access modern reproductive care.
All things that health insurance companies deny people as a business model.
Didn't Jack Posobiec get caught cheating on his wife? And he's trying to lecture me on family values?
He was doing her a favor so obviously yes jk
The only thing sad about Thompson's death is how quick it was.
While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.
Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.
Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024, according to Wallmine.
Oh no millionaire left his fortune for kids that won't see him again and can do anything they want. Looks like Richie Rich movie start scene.
Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨🔧
The fact that he allegedly took his life on behalf of others who had been screwed over by him despite having no personal grievance with him makes it more commendable.
Anti-Luigi posts only serve to illustrate the underlying fatal flaw with our culture in the US. It’s a flaw with humanity, sure, but we seem to specialize in it. To wit:
Violently hurting another person, or even stealing their stuff, is inexcusable. The only exceptions are life and death situations.
Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life. Cause and effect is apparently irrelevant as long as the CEO isn’t literally throwing rocks at them as he pours their insulin down the drain.
Have y'all seen all the happy UHC ads everywhere? "My life is great because of UHC" again and again.
Remember, EW is a Polish Nazi.
Heydrich had 4 kids. It doesn't matter, he deserved to die.
Plenty of horrible men had kids who damn well deserved better fathers.
didnt he also have like crazy back pain or smth and was denied???
Does Luigi know where "End Wokeness" hangs out? Asking for a friend
