when the laws of a country protect the elites from the masses instead of the masses from the elites, revolution is inevitable

the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants

Dude isnt getting any sympathy because his company is directly responsible for denying health coverage to millions leading to poorer health or death.
They will just appoint another CEO and life goes on.

This story really illustrates the sheer level of hatred emerging on the left. How much online discourse is cheering the death of some random person they never heard of before, all because of a political narrative? Its like watching a struggle session. Has anyone been wronged by this guy? Has he committed any crimes, hurt anyone, done anything wrong? What, hate him because he's a billionaire with a yacht and therefore we should despise the very fact of his existence? Except not even that. He lived in a mundane middle class home and was nowhere near a billionaire. Who cares, reddit and bluesky can cheer for more CEOS assassinated.

And its not like its just a groundswell of terrorist militancy spreading on the front page of reddit alone. Now we have journalists and other personalities making their endorsement of anarchoterrorism known. Taylor Lorenz of the NYT was postinf where to find the homes of more targets


You have no idea what you are talking about, this guy introduced AI insurance checks that denied claims and were found to be up to 90% inaccurate, hundreds of thousands of people were denied insurance based on this system.
The words on the shell casings were his companies mantra, deny, delay, depose.
He was not a billionaire or anywhere even close to one, he was 950 million dollars closer to being homeless than a billionaire.

I don’t know what snapple is but it might be misquoting jefferson and pulling the misquote out of context.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

He was talking about Shays’ rebellion, which he did not support. His point was that the willingness and ability to rise up against your leaders is not a bad thing, even when it is misguided. I’ve read a few of your posts in the past couple days and this is a sentiment I believe you do not agree with. Here’s more from the same letter.

“And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them.”

Thanks to Jefferson, Washington, and other great men, Shays and the rest of the rebels were pardoned and pacified. It seems to me that we have had the opportunity to apply this approach in our own time. Biden really muddled it. Now the guy that caused it has to pardon them, which will not help unite the country as it could have. It will not restore any credibility to the system, as it should have.

It’s depressing every time you realize that the reason people don’t learn from history is because they don’t put any effort into learning history in the first place.

L O L

Jan 6th was not over 'tyranny', it was a bunch of butthurt nimrods upset that their populist schmuck lost an election. their dear populist leader fueled their rage by touting false election fraud claims so they would lose trust in their government
it was NOT government tyranny that led to Jan 6, it was political rhetoric and conspiracy theories
its very ,very important to distinguish between people larping as 'patriots' to some perceived threat vs actual economic hardship up that led to Shay's rebellion.
i love how condescending you are about me taking this quote out of context when you are doing the very same thing but on purpose
