Ponder the corb.

To be fair, our government then hired any Nazi they thought was smart enough to be useful.

It’s probably a chute for an old coal or wood heater. These are pretty common in houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century in the US.

Neither. I’m actually pretty well aware of the harms caused by places I’ve worked, including in the US military. I’ve even left places when I couldn’t square that circle. I figured the comment would get some heavy down voting because I know how most of the world is looking at the scenario. I felt some schadenfreude watching the guy get gunned down, too. My perspective is that I see the left committing a lot of the same logical fallacies typically committed by the right in this scenario. It feels a little too close to “well, the cops wouldn’t have shot him in the back if he just complied” or “Palestinians elected terrorists so they’re all terrorists and gldeserve whatever they get” arguments to me. I try to practice the Principal of Charity, and I don’t have any good evidence that this man was cackling with glee while personally slamming a big red “DENIED” stamp on grannies chemo medicine claims. If he’d approved every claim, he would be fired, and they’d bring someone else in to deny the claims. I’m not defending the insurance industry or capitalism for-profit healthcare, but I worry more generally about society normalizing or celebrating violence.l and where that’s moght take us.

False dichotomy is a common tactic used to radicalize people and instigate violence.

Brian Thompson was the head executive of a corporation. He likely spent his days looking at spreadsheets and BI reports, going to meetings where he was held accountable for making a profit for the shareholders and playing golf. If he is responsible for deaths related to the 30-something percent of claims that the company he ran denied, then he is equally responsible for any lives saved by the 60-something percent of claims they approved.

I’m not mourning the guy, but I know his friends and family are. If his murder was justified, is mine justified for not feeling bad he died? Is my daughter’s murder by a Palestinian justified because I pay taxes that buy bombs my government sells to Israel?

There are lots of alternatives to murder (or whatever euphemism for murder you choose to use). Murder certainly feels easier in the short term, especially when you have no connection to the guy who pulled the trigger. His life is likely ruined now as well.

It only works for emerald heirs.

Hell, include the hype, and it looks stupid

Missed opportunity with the fuel efficiency OP…so close to 42.0

What is this, a tampon for ducks?

They said condescendingly.

Which is ironic…any company that would brag about employees working at their own wedding screams “burnt out employees and insider threats” to me.

Nazi-theme flappy bird

Hey, look, I found the thing the US is still number 1 at!

Only the person in it…

And you have to make something like that up just so people listen about JD Vance gave your cat syphilis, then that’s what you should do.

it’s the idea that we should accelerate the collapse of society so “our” preferred system can replace it. Doesn’t matter who the “our” encompasses.

I’m worried it would fuck his mind so bad he’d start making sense /s

At this time year? In this part of the country?
