     or that the obvious psyop is a psyop?

     I'm not totally convinced it is a psyop. It's certainly possible, but I'm more inclined towards Hanlon's razor tbh. Even people with high IQ are not immune from that.
     
     I think what they're actually afraid of is how the guy has become a sort of Robin Hood type figure overnight, and that it represents what will happen if the powers that be continue to push people too hard. It has them shitting their drawers, so they're probably gonna make an example of him to try terrorise the public and put the uppity niggers back in their place.

     I've been meaning to write a part 2 to this:
     
     https://battlepenguin.com/politics/on-the-shooting-of-ceos-and-psychological-operations/
     
     not sure if I'll get around to it, but they literally flipped the script. The day after I posted that, we learned the shooter was from a rich family and never had United Healthcare and the CEO was from a middle class small town family. It feels like a classic narrative building.
     
     I think CEO dude is dead, but how fast we had video, a name, intimate case details (the words written on the shell casings) is all highly suspicious.
     
     Could be exactly as it's portrayed, but I have serious doubts.

     I just hate the glorification of a murder aspect. I immediately took issue with that, and you can tell the media is very intentionally spinning the story in that direction.
     
     Maybe they're just not letting a good crisis/murder go to waste, but the intention to turn people against each other on this topic is very apparent.

     That's the thing about this stuff. We can really only speculate unless there's hard evidence. But even then, is it really "evidence", or just the next layer of psyop? Kind of a total recall type of situation.
     
     Whatever the case it's clear the oligarchs and their government/corporate media knob gobblers will spin it in whatever way is advantageous to themselves. On principal I'm inclined towards the NAP as a rule. But realistically very few major positive changes to the dystopic status quo have ever been bloodless. If history is the judge, it often requires a large number of heads mounted on pikes to get the job done. Sad, but true.

     You're definitely right that most people seem to lack the critical thinking skills, or simply dgaf. But in my experience of rubbing shoulders with a wide variety of activist types on all sides of the political spectrum who think they're awake, there are many many layers to the propaganda. Even when people think they're clued in, they've often only peeled back the onion a single layer or two without realising how deep the rabbit hole really goes. When people lack principals of their own to stand by, they will just seize onto whatever convenient explanation they're offered by the latest con artist(s), because in a world where they're adrift on the ocean of confusion, any answer that makes life simple and understandable is like a life raft.

     Or that most humans lack the critical thinking skills to identify propaganda and will simply accept it without question?

     You realize the narrative changed, right? The murderer was from a rich family and never had United Healthcare and the CEO was from a middle class family that did not have any big money.
     
     That's the narrative switch. Now the narrative is no longer about the rich evil man .. now he's evil BECAUSE he got rich! The narrative has switched to anti-merit and pro-commie.
     
     My third job out of college was Health Insurance. It was a very wasteful business. I sat down in meeting with a c-suite person who probably made 5x~10x more than me. I saw millions get wasted away on stupid adverts to make people healthier. I think a lot of things were misguided .. but I never wanted any of my managers/directors to die. Most of them had families. Most were honestly good people ... or at least not worse people than any other industry I've worked in ... as far as I could tell anyway.
     
     I'm not okay with dead CEOs. That's a shitty, unscalable, and ineffective solution.
     
     To fix the medical situation, you really need an entirely separate system: cheap schools for unlicensed doctors, their own boards and who push against vaccines and unnecessary surgeries. Medicine needs to be less regulated and treated more as a religion (which it is). The Church of the Board Cert needs to break away into sects and there need to be so many neo-doctors onboard with the cult that it clogs up the courts with Patch Adam's style cases of "doctors without a license."
     
     People didn't get sick like this decades ago, but we're still better than a century ago. But instead of real change, this propaganda narrative will just get people riled up and angry and totally fine when Orange Man starts pushing some insane new medical system connected to carbon credits or crypto-shit.

     Yea ... Bill Gates is pretty fucking evil and the world would be better off with him no longer in it :agummythink:
     
     I wonder if everyone who is anti-vigilante has that upper limit, above which the morality changes to "yea I don't care if they're murdered" ?
     
     ... but someone always just comes in to replace them anyway
