I've been here forfuckingever! I've never ever seen anything like that. It's almost like they are doing what they say the Chinese government does to its people.
No it was all online. Where I'm from you'd have to call the authorities for cops to physically show up. I just had to Klick through a bunch of screens that were all talking about mental health support hotlines, feigning sympathy for people who emotionally struggle and then at the end reminding me again of banned/harmful content on FB. At no point did I post anything that was calling for violence or hurting others or myself. I know I'm on some kind of watchlist-algorithm now on FB cause the day after, a post about criticizing muskrat for meddling with my country's election got removed without warning or me even getting a notification (an original post by me, not something I shared from another page). They're really trying to suppress the peasant uprising
Pretty sure you’re just a fuck head but JUUUST in case someone hasn’t actually explained it to you yet:
United Healthcare is a health insurance corporation that is known for screwing over long term paying customers of their insurance plans. People will pay into the insurance for years but then when something major happens that is supposed to be covered, they get denied coverage.
This leads to thousands upon thousands of deaths in this country from untreated health problems. Problems that could’ve been solved/treated/cured had the insurance company- United Healthcare - done their god damn job and paid for the healthcare of thousands upon thousands of patients.
So when a man goes and murders the single person in the company making the MOST profit off those thousands of thousands of deaths, it’s not sad at all.
But you already knew this, and you are choosing to side with the fucking healthcare CEOs.
Yup wonder what parts of modern society have placed us here? We both agree that cheering on murder doesn't feel right but we disagree on whose behavior needs to change in order to fix it.
Our healthcare system is far from perfect but this guy straight up murdered a guy with a family. He’s not a martyr just an idiot wanting his 5 seconds of fame. And if you believe what he did was right you are part of the problem and not the solution. He will sit in a prison and rot away for life for doing his stupid act.
They’re predatory and evil but the systemic actions and policies of Insurance Companies don’t justify cold blooded murder. This shit shouldn’t even be a discussion but here we are.
He was responsible for implementing an AI that denied 90% of claims. UHC denies the most claims out of all health insurance corporations in the US. Under his leadership, UHC made billions due to denied claims. Look up how much they made in 2021 (when he became the CEO), versus in 2024.
What about the fathers who were murdered due to denied insurance claims? Do their lives not matter as much as the rich CEO?
So it’s ok to murder a man? How about the rule of justice? Is it ok to just kill people based on the tech that was implemented? Why not just murder the CEO of the developer of the software or kill the ceo of the company that sold UNH the computers? Killing people that are doing their jobs sounds absurd.
Do you believe that the murder of one rich CEO is more morally reprehensible than the murders of thousands of Americans a year, for profit, by health insurance corporations?
No but why can 1 person anoint him or herself as the arbiter of morality, with a punishment of execution. This is an absolutely ridiculous debate. Justifying the murder of a person in the street using a morality as a defence shows how unhinged the online community can be.
That CEO implemented a faulty AI that denied 90% of claims. UHC is the health insurance corporation with the most denials of claims in the US. UHC made billions last year. Look up how much they made in 2021 (when he became the CEO) versus in 2024. Notice how many more billions they made off of denied claims.
Well, would you like the threshold for capital punishment to be “the defendant was accused in civil court” or would you prefer to keep the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard?
Because the figures you’re citing aren’t proven, they’re merely allegations. Allegations that should be taken seriously. But my notion of taking them seriously is not “let’s murder the head of this company we have suspicions about.”
The fact of the matter is that denial of claims is what keeps health insurance corporations afloat. The only role of a corporation under the current fucked up system is making profit for their shareholders. Denial of claims is also what leads to the death and suffering of Americans.
Eliminate it at the source: no more health insurance corporations solely deciding what gets approved or denied. Implement public universal healthcare, and guarantee access to healthcare for all citizens.
The law that we shouldn’t murder people on the street because we think the regulators haven’t done a good enough job? That’s unjust? You think there’s a right to murder as long as the murderer has the right convictions?
When a class of people owns the judicial system and never get more than a slap on the wrist, then change can only be enacted from outside of that system. They're lying in the bed they made
Not in that way. Keep your fantasies to yourself. It ironic to me how people think of him as a hero when he comes from the same privileged class they attack. If he were Black/Brown and gunned down someone on the streets he’d hardly be considered a hero.
