            Exactly. Let’s be honest, if wishes alone could kill, there wouldn’t be a single US health insurance executive alive within 24 hours. The only reason we all don’t become a Luigi is we’re not prepared to throw our lives away for it. Fear of the law is the only thing keeping those bastards above dirt.

              Being country agnostic for a moment, I don’t really see how other methods have been able to bring about change. You can try protesting and the police will beat you, you can try petitions but nothing changes, you can march and nothing changes.

              Wasn’t it JFK that said something along the lines of you don’t allow a peaceful revolution then you make a violent one inevitable.

              I’m not out here being violent, but I can’t say I’m sad about Brian Thompson, in fact I’m filled with glee that this might bring about some change for my American counterparts.

                  There is nothing wrong with that.

                  Not sure how you’re browsing Lemmy but many apps will let you filter out content you don’t want to see, perhaps that will make your experience more tailored. I personally use Voyager for iOS.
