    nazi Germany didn’t lose because the world cared about the genocide, its because the world didn’t like their invasion of other countries. Nevertheless, I celebrate the downfall of nazi Germany and death of hitler.

    Same thing can be applied here. Doesn’t matter if this mass murderer CEO fell down some stairs, choked on a burger, or get beaten to death over a personal dispute, death of a killer is a good thing.

    I don’t think his intentions matter at this point. People have already made him a folk hero. He could say he shot him because he stepped on his shoe and there’s a good chance people will still say, “Valid, fuck that guy.”

    the ceo is paid big because his decisions affect a lot of lives.

    in this case, the killer can be any of these people the ceo has affected on some policy he let pass. the killer could even be just an enforcing arm of some one, or some group.

    on one side, you can see this reaction as just part of his “job description”. even doctors know toying with people’s health have grave consequences.

    Your hypothetical makes no sense because murder is not ordinary or basic. But even if it were… “Couldn’t have happened to a worse person.” Right? “Karma’s a motherfucker.” Right?

    Many Americans are so blindly patriotic that they don’t realize their health insurance system is much worse than dozens of other countries. At the same time, many of these Americans also know that they’re being scammed. It is interesting to look at that cognitive dissonance. And it is interesting to look at mainstream media, so afraid to point out how screwed everyone in the country is, because of some evil rich assholes.

    it doesnt matter. It wouldnt matter if he killed him because he didnt like how he tied his shoelaces.

    what matters is we have unifying event and if its allowed to be wasted then its all fucked. And i dont mean rallying people to start killing everyone but rallying people to stop being apathetic and demand change together.

    It means society is in danger because lots of people think lots of other people deserve death.

    The reaction to the death already demonstrates peoples’ misplaced priorities, and it being a mundane murder (or inspired by, say, a highly disagreeable agenda) would just put, as they say, egg on their face.

    The last time this happened, Batman was born.

      That’s so cool! Everybody loves superheroes, for that reason alone we should kill loads more billionaires.

        Not what I said. It was a joke anyways, but I was implying that calamity affects people in ways that bite society later on.

        Are people around these parts really so careless that they think murder for the sake of disagreement is justified?
