Luigi Mangione and Brian Thompson were two men who did the same thing: they decided who got to live or die.
Except Luigi Mangione took out a man who helped decide that thousands upon thousands get to die for profit. Brian Thompson condemned thousands and thousands to death for a fat paycheck.
This was a person who made the active decision to reject as many claims as possible for medical assistance, claims that would have saved the lives of children, teachers, mothers, he went into work each day and actively worked to cause as many people a long, painful death as he could to add an extra 0 to his bonus. There is no redeeming that. You need to understand that he was an enemy of the working class, not some great, stand up guy, he knew he was killing people, he knew.
A health insurance CEO was never going to suddenly have a Scrooge moment and decide to undo all the pain and suffering he'd caused, and he was going to continue collecting paychecks written in the blood of cancer patients and miscarriage victims and everyone who died of a preventable disease. His job was to cause people to suffer and die to save his company money, it wasn't an undeserved end for scum of his type
I get that gun violence is an awful thing and people's first instincts are to say 'well even he didn't deserve to be shot' but I need to make it clear that even if Hitler hadn't killed himself and the soviet soldiers had found him alive and shot him, that would still have been just and good, sometimes the only way to remove evil people from positions of power where the entire system is designed to protect them, is with violence.
This rant brought to you by people using LLM's to generate alt text in images, a double whammy of screwing over blind users who need accurate, well written descriptions, not word vomit, and people with other disabilities who you could have commissioned to write descriptions, if you're going to willingly screw over disabled users, why even pretend and bother with image descriptions at all
It's always been an unspoken rule that able bodied society doesn't want to see us, doesn't want to be reminded of us, and now we're seeing an effort to eliminate all the 'soft' jobs that we use to survive in this capitalist hell, it's very transparent that the fate of disabled people under an 'ai' economy is to starve
