Disagree. French Revolution. Depose our rulers.

Also, y’all MLs are stuck in the past. What worked in 1900 isn’t going to work today. Stochastic terrorism picking off our leaders one by one is how things are going to go in 2024.

You’re not going to “revolutionize” the public. Most don’t give a shit. They care about their property values and their 401Ks. Y’all live in fucking la la land where it’s still the late 1800s.

I agree that is probably a better option. How do you get connects to be private security for a billionaire though?

You clearly missed the point. Ends justify the means - join the military, get excellent training and inside knowledge and connections into the private security world, become a guard for a billionaire, turn on them, profit?

You’re being pedantic and ridiculous.

And let people walk all over you and then complain about being the victim. Mean people don’t deserve kindness, they deserve the same energy they’re giving out.

Taking the high road doesn’t work.

Fun fact: I have no assets!

There was some evidence in the medical reddits that threatening these “doctors” licenses seemed to work in getting approvals. Who knows.

I don’t have health insurance. My way of doing things is to just simply not go to the doctor, and if I absolutely must I go to a free clinic for the poor. I’ve had medical emergencies that have put me in the hospital, I just don’t pay. Credit was ruined anyway by the student loan scam and money clearly isn’t real. Fuck them.

I think a lot of doctors are gonna start getting their credentials threatened as more people learn how to use the system to their benefit. I for one had no idea one could get the info of whos denying care and then complain to the licensing board, until Luigi brought to light our shit ass medical system. People are waking up from the gaslighting.

Will there be any major changes? Probably not until more CEOs get killed.

Maybe don’t go back in the corner? You need to learn to stand up for yourself otherwise you’ll just be bullied for the rest of your life.

Not just you, anyone with this attitude.

Oh boo fucking hoo they’re mean to you? Be even meaner.

I’ve met them, but they’re all members of the elite, horrified that the masses are finally resorting to violence against them, especially a member of their own class being a traitor towards them.

Most people are horrified by violence and the fact that we’ve come to this point, but most are also ambivalent at worst about this guy being on the receiving end of the violence. He would have a lot more sympathy if he wasn’t the CEO of a health insurance company that mostly acts as an extortion and protection racket.

The person you’re responding to was being sarcastic. They’re bottom of the barrel doctors practicing outside their specialty and have a financial incentive to deny claims.

Denied treatment is murder. Social murder. Stop simping for these companies they don’t give a fuck about you.

Conservatism is just far right liberalism as a pit stop on the path to fascism.

Liberals are right wing.

It’s a protection racket similar to the mob, except the mob has scruples and will actually protect you if you pay up. If you don’t pay up, broken kneecaps.

Health insurance is just paying for broken kneecaps. If the mob ran healthcare we’d have better outcomes than we currently do, let’s be real.

Nice sea lioning just asking questions.

Health insurance companies specifically hire doctors often in unrelated specialties solely to deny claims as being not medically necessary.

Quit your gaslighting bullshit. I hope you’re being paid well for your simping.

It’s all good you don’t need to worry about it. I’m just some random on the internet.

When I was younger I used to get in arguments (usually political nature, I guess politics and power are unfortunately one of my special interests) online with random people. I’d get all upset about it, and it’s fair because it is upsetting. I was terribly, horrifically, violently bullied from kindergarten to college for being visibly queer and neurodivergent and have major trauma and ptsd from it (and other things too). As I’ve gotten older I realized that I was just constantly recreating the abusive conditions I grew up under, feeling bullied online just like I did in real life. The stress is in some ways addictive, it’s what your body knows and wants because it’s familiar and comforting even if it’s not ‘normal’ or healthy. I’ve been banned from every major social media platform for being militantly anti fascist. I’m an asshole and I’m proud of it. I’m a product of the violence I received when I was younger, which is why now as an adult I’m more militant than ever as this country falls deeper and deeper into fascism, aided by the tech industry that silences any voices truly critical of the direction we’re heading in. They amplify hate because it brings them revenue. They manipulate the masses because it brings them power.

Most of the people you argue with online probably aren’t even real and are bots used to manipulate public sentiment in favor of the elites (even division is favorable to them, far more so than unity). The people who are real are likely tweens and teenagers and have a naive view of the world, not being beaten to shit by it yet like adults are. And then there are the real people who are adults… but it says a lot about them (and me, shit) that they choose to spend their time arguing with strangers on the internet. Healthy people are too busy enjoying life to be wasting their time arguing with idiots on the internet.

but the existence of etymologically related terms doesn’t give an “out” to people using them for offense and denigration in either case

Never said it did. I remember the first time I saw retard being used in a technical sense and being thrown by it’s usage in todays world. Ultimately though you can’t police language, people are gonna say whatever dumb shit they want, doesn’t mean you have to listen. And no, anyone using “dumb” or “idiot” today is not referring to disabled people, those words stopped being used to describe disabled people multiple decades ago and are far removed from being associated with disabled people. Retard is a lot more recent, but even as a kid growing up in the 90s where calling people gay, queer and faggots were acceptable, even retard used as a slur back then was frowned upon.

Ah thanks for clarifying I was like wait I’m schizo?

I’d say the right to privacy would be covered under the right to not be searched without a warrant.

The facial recognition on every corner is an unreasonable search IMO and society has just accepted it? Morons with well I’ve got nothing to hide…
