Gotta say I'm loving the *shrug, fuck that guy* public response to this assassination. I wonder if many of the other gun fanatics who want to be murder-famous realise they'll likely get more support shooting some scumbag billionaires than kids in a school or random folks in a walmart. If the US is gonna continue to have shootings, this approach seems less upsetting no?
I really don’t know how I feel about us going all “His name was Robert Paulson” once the guy is caught. Legitimately encouraging this and going so hard against the actual moral of Fight Club.
That’s the thing about infamy, why not do it by giving someone most people hate lead poisoning? These monster school shooters will always be remembered as such to the degree they are remembered. What do we think of John Brown today?
I have a coworker who no one in their right mind would ever call a leftist extremist or anything. She was saying "I'm not defending his murder or anything, but have you seen their denial rate?" And then she talked about some tests she's had denied.
I think the hero yesterday has really awakened something in a lot of people. He put the spotlight on the fact that it is human beings that are putting these systems in place. And those people can be held accountable, one way or another.

Dude will have to answer to all his bs he's done, all his greed now. Just like the other greedy billionaires will have to.

Like when Abe was shot in Japan and it spearheaded a motion of "huh we really should be more against politicians being in cahoots with Yakuza"

… pretty tempting though.

I won’t pick up a gun but I’ll point the police in the other direction.

Start killing rich people, and gun laws are gonna change real fast. Rid the world of some assholes, AND gun control? we call that a win/win.
PunnyTiger
join the Punisher Club, by killing people who deserve death but are protected by wealth and position! Die a hero!

If you read into what the company & ceo did -> 90% of all AI claims denied. it is a wonder they hadnt had "dissatisfied customers" sooner...
reineseele
yes they used ai to just let it do some magic mumbo jumbo and just denied stuff with no real oversight...

This has to be the easiest trolley problem yet. One insurance CEO or a classroom of kids?
PurpleSquare713
If it's a greedy scumbag CEO vs a classroom full of kids, I'm turning that lever and breaking it off.
Dxoh
If it is a room full of executives and shareholders, versus a room with one kid... still pointing that train at the boardroom.
NinjaCongo
In fact, just a CEO vs an empty stretch of rail...
HerbyDerbyDay
This trolley problem is also easy for Libertarians, but not in the way the rest of us would hope.
samwyze
I don't know, those kids don't have any money.
samwyze
OH! That's an age of consent thing! HA! Took me a minute.
HerbyDerbyDay
I actually meant that a Libertarian would let 30 kids die without a second thought to save some CEO they're simping for, but your take works too lol
samwyze
Oh, those wacky libertarians!
