That's silly, a shocking amount of media sources are in cover their ass mode not just fox. LinkedIn has posts. Twitter has posts. Even SNL, shockingly, is a little bit "can we not be cheering a killer on air?"

So..I call bs, this is everywhere.

Cheering for a Killer and defending a CEO are not the only two stances. You can do neither.

the CEO who killed millions via denying healthcare was the true working class hero

A CEO was "murdering" with debts before and after, call me when something actually changes.

To be clear, Brian Thompson was a terrible person and deserved to die, but we as individuals are not his judge. For his execution there should be trial.

Nobody will actually change anything for you, unless you work on it. All of you, all of us collectively. I'm calling you now, do something.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And I will vote for change. And I ask you to do the same.

That's good, commendable, and necessary. But it might not be enough. I don't think we are at the point of murder yet, but we are definitely past the point of just voting.

If it's not enough then there are no solutions, period.
