if violence is not acceptable, all healthcare ceos must be in prison for life. they're not, so it is.
in reality, there's a desperate attempt at drilling the idea into our minds that violence against the powerful isn't acceptable. this obsessive coverage of how people don't condemn this shooting is happening literally at the same time that someone who murdered a homeless person was allowed to walk. is there outrage in the media about how this is unacceptable?
not really. you kill a homeless person, you walk. you kill a CEO who's responsible for thousands of deaths, you get charged with terrorism.
the ceo's violence is acceptable. killing homeless people is acceptable. the police killing practically anyone is acceptable. but if you just threaten a CEO, you get 15 years in prison.
this is bullshit. what they want is for you to only count one particular kind of violence unacceptable. the kind that might lead to liberation. it happened with women, black people and lgbtq. they can't allow the liberation of the lower economic classes too. that would be terrible.
