I really shouldn’t have to point out that Luigi did not fix this problem, but people are still operating under the bizarre impression that assassinating CEOs will fix a systemic healthcare issue and the Trump Administration will do something helpful with the cost of healthcare.
The fact that this happened and people are still thinking you can assassinate your way out of capitalist healthcare or that CEOs aren’t just as disposable as everyone else in a corporation baffles me. But then people still think Republicans can be voted out of office.
I want what happened to have changed things for the better. It didn’t. And assassinating five or fifteen more CEOs wouldn’t get Trump to implement socialized medicine either.
I’m gonna have to disagree. When we’re able to give these sociopaths something to fear you’ll see change happen. Nothing else will work but violent revolution.
“We” are doing no such thing. That’s part of the problem. You and everyone else here want someone to commit assassination on their behalf. You’re just hoping for someone else to take care of things and not even in a realistic way.
I’ve literally talked about this already, but since you can’t be bothered to scroll down:
Very droll, but this is exactly the kind of thinking that lets people sit back and expect other people to take care of these problems when they should be out in the streets or on their phones or, at the very least, using the power of the internet to get others involved.
I don’t think anyone thought he did fix it all. But it’s the same way normal, sane, people end up fighting insurgencies against the government. They feel like they’ve exhausted every other avenue to solve big problems.
We can’t count on the government. We can’t count on the doctors. And we certainly can’t count on the corporations themselves. What’s left?
Yeah, that’s the beginnings of people deciding government isn’t going to help them and they have to deal with this on their own. It should be scary as fuck because, especially under Trump, it’s going to lead to escalations in the security state which will only lead to escalations from the people.
Except they aren’t doing that. They’re calling on somebody else to do it for them. They keep saying, “we need another Luigi.” They’re not planning to do anything themselves. That’s pretty clear. This is a way of avoiding doing anything, not doing anything.
That’s not quite right in my opinion. Think of kids on the playground.
You do it
No you do it!
They’re amping themselves up. Because they’re adults, and not talking about poking a bug with a stick, it will most likely stay that way until someone in that group is badly affected by the system. Or until someone provides leadership.
I think people have given up on the idea that there will ever be any sort of health care reform (even though we did see prices frozen on some drugs last administration) and through the clearest sense of Americanism, guns and violence have become the only answer

Alright then what do “we” do to fix the problem?
I’ve literally talked about this already, but since you can’t be bothered to scroll down:
Are you this ornery off the Internet?
You asked me a question I already answered. I showed you the answer. The least you could do is acknowledge that fact.
That’s true, but you come off as perpetually annoyed in your replies.
Once again- the very least you could do is acknowledge I answered your question.
Perhaps I am coming across as annoyed because you are refusing to do that.

People sure seem to think if you assassinate enough CEOs, the problem will be fixed. See literally this meme.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Either way it’s trending towards violence.
Who in America who isn’t rich has not been badly affected by the system?
Yes, but no one wants to do that. Everyone wants “the next Luigi” to take care of the problem instead. It’s just an excuse to not do anything.
Yet.
How long exactly is it going to take? Weeks? Months? Years? Because from what I can see, things are getting much worse. Rapidly.
And you are doing exactly what I am suggesting by just waiting for someone else to do things before you consider doing them.

Also hi Flying Squid, hope you’re doing well <3
