- detourdog 2y agoCongress claims this is what we the people want.
- hsuduebc2 2y agoI believe that some people really needs that. Ironically the ones which need it most.

- maeil 2y agoThrowing around terms like "murderer" and "terrorism" is a pure appeal to emotion. It's just as easy to call the CEO a "murderer" and say UHC committed "terrorism". Not going to make that argument because it's pointless semantics. The idea that it's only a tiny, negligible fringe of people who are positive towards his deeds is of course also not true. The days where websites like Reddit are purely a playground for nerds with fringe belief are long, long past us. On many mainstream social networks, the dominating view has been one of support.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Throwing around terms like "murderer" and "terrorism" is a pure appeal to emotion Not really. It’s intentional killing without colour of law: murder. It’s killing to send a political message: potentially terrorism. He’s been charged with both, so this is not meme-level everything I don’t like is violence. > days where websites like Reddit are purely a playground for nerds with fringe belief are long, long past us Yes, someone who thinks their internet echo chamber is right this time, despite its track record, is on the fringes.

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoCiting the charges and pointing out that Reddit and Twitter aren’t representative of the general population isn’t snarky, it’s substantiation. The track record of people extrapolating from Twitter or Reddit to America is incredibly poor. One needs extraordinary evidence to claim this time is different.
- newdee 2y agoI don’t think the guidelines need to be carted out here. Parent was making their argument reasonably, maybe you just dislike what they’re saying?

- mindslight 2y agoThe corporate ruling class has made clear that Luigi is what they want, by stifling any other form of accountability or reform. The people have only made clear that they're desperate for any shred of accountability, despite the abhorrence of murder.
