I am legitimately concerned for your well-being. You need help.

Lots of people are denying it, though

Either you’re having a stroke or you’ve overdosed on some sort of drug. You need to get help ASAP.

I’d imagine something like this

I don’t shed a tear for the CEO.

You need to figure yourself out, dude. No need to lash out at me for your own problems.

The person seen shooting the guy in the video is a murderer. That is clear as day.

I’m just concerned about the lack of acknowledgement that this was a murder and the glorification of killing. Like I said before, I don’t see why we can’t feel good about what this has accomplished so far while also acknowledging that murder and killing is bad. It just seems like a mindless mob rather than a rally behind an ideology backed with logic.

That’s definitely a very succinct way of putting it. Thanks. I’ll think on that.

Though, the second example is definitely an intentional misinterpretation, since I never said anything that should be reasonably interpreted that way.

Other than that, does this work too?

I do blame the monstrous predators of our fucked up healthcare system that ruin and end people’s lives to make a profit.

I also don’t like that someone had to be killed in response.

I don’t blame the guy, but I also believe that killing is wrong.

Why does not wanting people killed mean I’m a centrist?

Why does not liking killing people mean “supporting the aristocracy”?

I in no way support the CEO, UHC, or any of the predatory insurance companies (which is all of them). I hate them, even.

I still don’t like murder.

I don’t see why those have to be mutually inclusive.

I really appreciate your perspective. It definitely helped me feel better about how hostile the rest of the responses have been.

I do already share that same thinking that it has been pushed too far long ago, though slowly to an extent.

I guess I have trouble wrestling with how far of a distance there is between the CEOs actions and their effects having caused deaths of many. It seems that the logic of that makes obvious sense, but there’s so many steps in between that it also seems so different from direct murder. Because of that distance of actions is what I feel makes it murder.

If we don’t consider this a murder and then continue that logic, at what point of involvement with the company does it stop and then become murder?

Still, I feel like this action, that I still feel is very wrong, is starting to give the people more power and the voice we should have had all along. So the results of this have seemed to benefit the people who have been victims of the predatory health insurance system.

I personally don’t ever want to feel good about killing another person. Even if justified. That just seems wrong.

Two things can be true. He can have done that and still have accomplished it via murder.

I’m not being neutral by not advocating for murder. I don’t know why that concept is so hard for people to swallow.

Exactly. I’m glad someone gets it.

Am I a bootlicker simply because I don’t agree with a killing?

I’m not in any way saying the CEO was not a total shitbag who was the effective cause of many deaths.

I just don’t like that murder was seemingly what needed to happen to give people a voice.

I do when people try to defend the CEO.

Still a murderer. Regardless of how much we agree with his reasons and the rest of the outcomes.

Fuck that CEO, and fuck the entire US health insurance system, but I’m just not going to delude myself that this guy did not murder the piece of shit.

Edit: See, this is exactly what I’m so against. Too many people are willing to shit on anyone who says anything slightly negative about this guy, all while throwing logic out the window. This is disgusting and outright dangerous behavior.

People need to not lose sight that things got so bad that this guy had to take it this far. Downplaying the fact this was murder is not good.
