      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.

    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.

        At least some of them have gone full mask-off, and is outright calling empathy a sin and greed a virtue.

          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.

              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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

    Insurance also tried to kick me off and deny coverage because of a cancer diagnosis as a child. My poor mother. 👨‍🔧
