"top internet sleuths refuse to solve #UnitedHealthcare #CEO’s murder"
thatdaneshguy: ‘I don’t have to encourage violence. I don’t have to condone violence by any means. But I also don’t have to help’
Savannah Sparks, asked if she is on the case: ‘Absolutely the f**k not’
TizzyEnt: ‘I have yet to see anyone online posting “we gotta find this guy, we gotta get him off the street”'
let's translate the sentiment to the positive: #universalhealthcare.

rob is european
in europe they regularly and vocally and effectively protest on economic topics
americans, on economic topics we sort of accept the abuse like sheep
i don't know why
but, we're sheep with guns
from a european perspective, the idea of solving the american healthcare problem with gun violence seems insane
and it is
and yet, that's america
i don't think the united healthcare ceo will be the last
that's the american way i guess

@benroyce @Myerman @edgeofeurope @Lana @jstogdill from a European perspective, the very idea of not being able to afford healthcare is insanity

@Lana @jstogdill @benroyce It doesn't sit well with me that the shooting doesn't cause more uproar. It's still someone acting as judge and executioner on his own, like a god, and we do not know exactly why, and we do not know if there's anyone else on their list, and who that might be.

@edgeofeurope @Lana @jstogdill @benroyce my take on all this is when the elites get their own legal system and process (just look at all the Trump trials), and also get 99% of the benefits of economic growth and tax policy, and on and on and on, and they refuse to relinquish any of it, then the guillotines come out

@jstogdill @benroyce I don't wish anyone dead, but there are people whose obituaries I have read with great pleasure..

@benroyce Society is a fractal of the individuals who compose it. So much ugliness...

@msbellows @Lana @jstogdill @benroyce actual quote from the book follows. #gnuterrypratchett
“Do you understand what I'm saying?"shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!"
"Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm.
"What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?"
"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.
"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be - all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"
"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.”
Charo del Genio
@msbellows @Lana @jstogdill @benroyce "Literally millions of other lives would be saved".
A main plot point in "Going postal" by the late great #gnuterrypratchett is the concept of actuarial murder, when protagonist Moist von Lipvig is confronted by Mr. Pump, who is a golem and who accuses him of having killed some people.

@Lana @jstogdill @benroyce Here's what the rise of oligarchy and fascism has done to me:
It's no longer enough to me to be pleased by certain obituaries. I now affirmatively wish some people were dead. The world would be exponentially better (and literally millions of other lives would be saved) if just a handful of selected people were dead. If I could give Death a list of names, I would – and it wouldn't take me two minutes to write, and I wouldn't lose any sleep.
I hate that, but I nevertheless admit it.
