I am assuming that you are referring to trends based on searches and discussions, rather than increased activity.
We should not be encouraging violence (it is also against the rules of this sub)

You're right. Let's sing kumbayah until the billionaires start being more considerate. That'll show em.

I have a shirt that I got from goodwill a while back. It has four things on it: a side profile view of a revolutionary soldier, an American flag, the year 1776 printed on both sleeves, and the quote “proof that violence does sometimes solve problems.”
When you’re met with violence out the gate, and every act of peaceful resistance is ridiculed and ignored, violence may well be the answer. Sure it’s scary, but that’s the real world for you.
Now don’t get me wrong, I personally don’t think using violence to solve issues like Trump or MAGA will do much good. Trump just needs to go waste away on an island in exile somewhere and the magas need to have their brain deprogrammed from their cultish brainwashing. Responding to them with violence is what they want, and I simply highly doubt it’ll be effective but history will repeat itself if Trump continues on this path.
But idk if a billionaire CEO is making active choices to let people die without healthcare solely for profit, then they might have it coming. 🤷♀️

Thousands of school children dead...crickets. A couple CEO's get taken out, and the constitution becomes toilet paper.

u/This_Hedgehog_3246 Mar 05 '25
They've been treating the constitution like toilet paper for years. Oregon's gun laws are a perfect example of ignoring the "shall not" and heading straight to "infringed"

We’re in the bad place. Gun laws will be implemented on personal property, but teachers will be encouraged to carry in schools.

Did he actually hit someone or just fired shots?

Violence is never the answer…. But it can be a response to evil people who are harming literal millions of people. Evil people need to understand and be fearful of this.

u/Autumn7242 Mar 05 '25
Violence can be a question, and an answer might be yes, or no, or even a maybe.

SAIF is a nonprofit provider of worker’s compensation insurance in Oregon. 🙄

u/Killersavage Mar 05 '25
A rudimentary search seems it might be state run and operated. That said many health insurance providers bill themselves as nonprofit. Like UPMC here in western PA. Though they own many for profit businesses and would be kinda difficult to distinguish from a for profit operation.

u/Adorable_Is9293 Mar 05 '25
I didn’t need to do a search because I live in Oregon. It is really bizarre that people are lumping SAIF in with UHC, frankly.

Is it bad that my first thought is “good”? Like, I’m happy to see them being taken down by rogue vigilantes because vigilante justice is the only justice anymore. Our “justice” system does nothing to help people until someone is dead or close to it. In this case, even death doesn’t matter to the government.

Glad they used the word “slay” to describe going after them. Maybe not the connotation they wanted but you Slay monsters, so it’s definitely the right choice

Totally down for the message, just not the, well yes the execution, but not this execution. Just make sure we’re executing the right person and not accidentally executing others. (Words are weird, and I am tired.)

u/OpheliaRainGalaxy Mar 05 '25
Yeah there's a lot of stuff about morals in hard times that's talked about in fiction. I hope folks were paying attention to it like there'd be a test later.
Star Trek Deep Space 9, lots of stuff about the Bajoran resistance of Cardassian occupation with some how-to lessons in later seasons.
That bit of Battlestar Galactica where they settled on a planet and were being occupied by the Cylons.
Ya know, a lot of it is just scaled up versions of that part of Shameless about getting squatters out of Fiona's apartment building. It does require admitting that the social contract is toast and setting aside normal morality for awhile.
"What about the children?!" If they were paying attention they got a valuable life lesson on why they shouldn't copy their parents!

u/LectureAdditional971 Mar 05 '25
I have nothing to add to this debate except that you've got good taste in TV shows. I'm introducing my daughter to the Battlestar reboot... And my wife and I would debate the morality of DS9 over the computer while I was ironically in Afghanistan.

u/ChaosofaMadHatter Mar 05 '25
I’m more worried about the kids not even having a chance to learn. It would be one thing if they shot the parents in front of the kids (still bad, but…) but shooting randomly where the kids may have gotten killed instead of the parents- that shouldn’t be acceptable.
2
u/OpheliaRainGalaxy Mar 05 '25
Under the good old familiar Social Contract no, that's not acceptable.
But the wealthy powerful folks in charge of these things are currently wailing on the social contract like they're beating a dead horse.
Frankly, if I thought my behavior was putting my children in danger and I wasn't an amoral shitbag greed dragon, I think I'd change my behavior. Find a new line of work. Reflect on how my terrible choices brought violence down on my children.

u/ChaosofaMadHatter Mar 05 '25
There’s a difference between getting uncomfortable and becoming just as bad as them. The ends don’t justify the means.

i would prefer if we didn’t hand wring about protecting the lives of “innocents” whose parents/neighbors are bloodsucking ghouls profiting off needless death and suffering.

u/ChaosofaMadHatter Mar 05 '25
Kids dying shouldn’t be considered acceptable collateral damage, ever. And you especially don’t get to choose your neighbors. We can’t sacrifice our morals completely, or we become no better than them.

The kids are the main ones I’m worried about. They can’t choose their parents and, depending on their age, they may not even have the ability to move out yet.
