Agree to disagree I guess. The double standard in my eyes is that because an elite was murdered there’s an outcry for justice from the wealthy. When the police shoots someone or when there is a school shooting it’s just “thoughts and prayers” or “they were probably a criminal anyway”.
I do see both sides but the opposite of what you mention though - the ones that sympathize with the CEO are wealthy people who believe almost any method to make money is legitimate, or support the existing healthcare system because it hasn’t screwed them yet. If you think the healthcare system is messed up then you tend to support the killer.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoSchool shooters are universally condemned, as are egregiously brutal police. People of all classes sympathize with the victims. Nobody cheers on the school shooters.
- pixelatedindex 2y agoThey are definitely condemned but no real action is taken to solve the issue, that’s my point. So if they do something when a CEO dies then that’s the double standard.
