I honestly don’t understand why this doesn’t happen more. If I had a terminal illness in the states and I was denied insurance the first thing I would do is make my death mean something.

Americans are the most cucked people in history. The reverence given to private property is sickening. Really hoping this opens peoples' minds to the possibilities the-more-you-know

Seriously though. What the actual fuck America? Grow some balls.

Sorry. Best we can do is another pre-school shooting.

Imagine if every school shooter in America put that energy to good use. It would be a different country if there was a bank shooting epidemic.

Except they go ahead and waste their life in some grand finale killing innocent people… because idk they can’t a gf or non-white people exist.

Americans are the most terror prone people ever. They get terror attacks every week basically. By their own people.

But it’s never directed at any of the people who actually deserve it. That’s the most mind boggling thing to me.

Like they are so quick to shoot up a mall, but not a CEOs jaguar?

It's because most Americans are programmed from birth to believe that rich people are the smartest, coolest, sexiest people on the planet. They got rich because of how amazing they are, they can't be evil. At the same time, they are bombarded with propaganda telling them that it's the "welfare queens", "illegal aliens", and "DEI" keeping them down. Women won't have sex with them because of "feminism" and "wokeism". The LGBTQ letter mafia is stealing their kids with their evil grooming techniques and pronouns (it's definitely not because the kids are queer and refuse to speak to you because you're an abusive piece of shit). And a significant portion of people eat this up and make it their identity. They see and experience the symptoms of a sick society but are incapable of reading between the lines to see the actual causes of their suffering. 21% of adults are illiterate and 54% read below a sixth-grade level. The general level of education is so poor that people believe anything that is presented to them in a slick enough manner by a person they view as trustworthy; which could be their pastor, a Fox News host (you can't lie on TV!), or their uncle on facebook. So, when they finally snap and they have no idea who has destroyed their lives and what they do just seems completely random. I'm sure they have some Qanon-brained justification for why they shot up a mall or school but it would seem like complete gibberish to a literate person. It would just look Charlie's notebook from Always Sunny with more swastikas and Kekistan flags.

As someone who lives here and has been to civilized countries it feels like I've been involuntarily committed to a psych ward where even the care workers believe the same shit as the inpatients. It's so difficult to find people who don't have insane red flags like they're good on most things BUT they're vehemently pro-Isreal or something. It fucking sucks here.

They will just hire more bodyguards. But they better hope they don't socially murder any of the bodyguards' loved ones.

Sounds like a great opportunity for someone to get hired and "do something"

(a history text in 2100)

In the late American Empire, the power brokers in Washington became the elite security details hired by the CEOs of the country's largest corporations. Failure to maintain their exorbitant benefits packages could result in a CEOs death at any moment - and even paying them off was no guarantee of safety, as in 2045 the influential "Mr Beast" was assassinated just two weeks after his takeover of Disney, despite paying what were at the time the highest bonuses ever paid to a security team as documented in his final youtube video, "Giving Thirty Security Guards One BILLION Dollars Each!"

Historians mark the subsequent auctioning of the Disney CEO position by White Skull Protection Services LLC as one of the lowest points in the late Imperial period.

He did what Lina Khan couldn't and might actually make them change their practices

This is why I think it should be legal to kill people if you want to. If they don't want to die then they should just do good things instead of bad things. Democratise checks on capital, or something.

As a trans person I’m not super comfortable with that idea lol.
