Forcing someone out of lifesaving healthcare and shooting someone in the back is functionally the same thing. When one of those things happens once, and the other happens constantly every day, we gotta consider the two relative to each other: Brian Thompson was more violent than his killer thousands-fold. The killer’s act doesn’t even amount to a rounding error in contrast to Thompson’s. Any posts stating support for health insurance CEOs or decrying their forceful deposition is advocating for violence and should be reported immediately for its clear violation of Lemmy’s TOS.
i don’t disagree with the sentiment, but this isn’t how the fediverse works
that might seem like a trivial critique, but it’s important because the structure we create for dealing with these issues can be far more diverse and human-focused than corporate TOS if we forget those terms and build back better

So, basically social murder (cw: natopedia)
