That's less than the casualty count for the war on terror, which has accomplished a lot less.

I don’t think I will ever feel that genocide is a appropriate answer to any problem, no matter how strongly you feel about it. So we will have to agree to disagree.

  Well that's not what genocide means, but also no, I don't agree with it but I do understand it.

    The OP wished death on a specific group of 700k people. Pretty sure that is exactly what genocide means

      > the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group OP targeted people based on their actions, specifically everyone involved in keeping the US healthcare system crappy. That's not too far different from targeting everyone involved in 9/11 or something. That's not genocide, it's just mass murder.

        Yep that entire group of people in that industry just making a living, fuck them and their awful actions. No worse than a bunch of terrorists.

        Well that depends doesn't it? I mean, if you're actively working to harm the world for the sake of lining your own pockets, then there's a pretty compelling argument to be made that you're not innocent. But, as I said, I'm not condoning the killing of anyone.

        Sure…off the dude cleaning the toilets at Blue Cross Blue Shield. I mean how dare he take that job and make money in the health insurance industry! He is actively harming the world by his cleaning piss and shit. Fuck him—he is no goddamn better than a terrorist for taking a job in that industry. Seems to me that anyone wishing or attempting to justifying death on 700k folks just because they don’t agree with the industry where those people work, is a helluva lot more evil than practically everyone working in the healthcare insurance industry. Maybe I am just weird that way…

        > Sure…off the dude cleaning the toilets at Blue Cross Blue Shield. To be fair to OP, they only said "everyone involved in keeping it this way", which arguably does not include the janitorial staff.
