The problem with โsenseless violenceโ narrative around the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that it ignores the inherent violence of the insurance industry. Denying someone lifesaving care is violence. Subjecting someone to drawn out periods of pain before treatment is violent. The industry is made up of millions of acts of violence everyday, with the CEO at the helm guiding it all. This is not unprovoked and itโs not an overreaction; it is just harder to ignore
Duke: I have a stalker
Tim: It's okay.
Duke: How is that okay?
Tim: Don't worry, I've been stalking them for months.
Duke:....
Duke: You've been stalking my stalker?
Tim: Yup, and to be honest, they're nothing special. You can do better.
Duke:...
Duke: Jason, he's doing it again!
Jason: Oh for the love of--- he just got out of rehab!
When you kill a healthcare ceo, itโs terrorism. When someone shoots your kid in elementary school, itโs thoughts and prayers for like a week and then they move on. It truly shows the fact that terrorism is whatever the american government wants it to mean.
Don't even claim to be a wizard if you're just letting the machine cast spells for you. Y'all ain't even tasted real magic, you will never be part of the Shadow Wizard Money Gang.

Jason: Can a parent have daddy issues?
Tim: Obviously. They-
Jason: No I mean can they have daddy issues for their child?
Tim: What the actual heck are you on about?
Jason: Because I SWEAR Bruce has daddy issues for Dick.
Tim: WHAT? WHAT?!! What the actual-
Jason: No, think about it. Someone with daddy issues has: Fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting a partner, feeling insecure in a relationship, being clingy or possessive, needing constant reassurance, being easily jealous or suspicious, and attracting abusive partners.
Tim: *panicking* Hold-
Jason: *on a roll* NO. Bruce literally stalks dick and gets mad and scared over him leaving, he doesn't trust his robins to meet his standards, he constantly trauma-dumps on Alfred about his and Dickโs relationship, and heโs super clingy and possessive when it comes to Dickโlike, look at the Titans! Heโs obsessed. He literally asks Dick if things are alright between them CONSTANTLY. Abusive partners? I don't mean to talk shit about Talia and Selina but they're literally villains.
Tim: *having a crisis*
Jason: Bruce Wayne- the first man to have daddy issues... in reverse.
Tim: *whimpering* Please stop talking.
Jason: ...But wait... all these things... doesn't Dick have some of them too?!
Tim: NO!
Jason: *speeding up* No, no.. HOLY SHIT, IT'S A CYCLE! Bruce is feeding into Dick's issues and Dick is feeding into Bruce's because Bruce is looking for validation from Dick and Dick is looking for validation in Bruce and they-
Tim: *frantically calling* KON, COME PICK ME UP. I'M SCARED.
Thereโs something weirdly almost heartwarming about how 99% of us have come together across platforms, across the political spectrum, united in saying fuck the UHC CEO and his brethren. Maybe class solidarity IS possible ๐ฅฒ
The governor of Pennsylvania (the state the Adjuster was found in), Josh Shapiro (who was on the shortlist to be Kamala's VP pick lol) just said at a press conference: โIn America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint."
What, Josh, exactly, are we supposed to do?
Vote? Thanks to gerrymandering, the electoral college, politicians being funded by corporations, and "news" organizations peddling propaganda, that does shit all.
Protest? We try doing that and we are just ignored. The right makes jokes about running over protestors (because apparently only the lives of rich white people matter).
Call our politicians? They don't fucking care. We've been trying that for decades and they barely passed Obamacare, which Trump now wants to dismantle.
MLK said "a riot is the language of the unheard." We have been screaming at the tops of our lungs that these "policy differences" are killing us. Costly private medical insurance is killing us. Lack of gun control is killing us. Rising food and fuel prices are killing us. Microplastics everywhere is killing us. Fossil fuels are killing us.
And people like you, Governor Josh Shapiro, do nothing except protect your rich friends.
I'm surprised it's taken this long, and I'm surprised there haven't been copycats yet. Let me know when I should grab my torch and pitchfork, because my student and medical debt ridden ass is very ready for some good old-fashioned revolution.
