Hitler had a family too.

The sympathization over killer-turning-victim, and what we learned from the recent CEO’s shooting in NYC.

Brian Thompson’s two teenage sons and widow are the latest addition to the grieving sea of people surrounding his name, but ironically the only ones who joined it after his death.

Thanks to his fruitful career path of being a healthcare bouncer, thousands of sick people’s coverage claims got denied, resulting in the deaths of at least 2 people.

His major in-office accomplishment is arguably the AI algorithm used to simplify the approval or denial process of insurance claims. More specifically, “the investigation, cited by the lawsuit, found UnitedHealth pressured medical employees to follow an algorithm, which predicts a patient’s length of stay, to issue payment denials to people with Medicare Advantage plans. Internal documents revealed that managers within the company set a goal for clinical employees to keep patients rehab stays within 1% of the days projected by the algorithm.”

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, accuses UnitedHealth and its subsidiary, NaviHealth, of using the computer algorithm to “systematically deny claims” of Medicare beneficiaries struggling to recover from debilitating illnesses in nursing homes.

The reality of the matter is that although the shooter, Luigi Mangione, assumed the role of the judge and executioner, Brian Thompson was appointed to play the role of God. And only one of those situations is illegal.

It’s frankly really enticing to add that only one of these situations is morally reprehensible, but this is not true.

“Vigilante justice is fault proof” is not a hill most of us want to die on. Personal acts of violence can never equate to the judicial system, nor do they claim to most of the time. What they have in common, however, is the perpetrator’s objective goal for his initiative to incite a change for the better.

The proposed takeaway from this is the symbolic perception of Mangione’s act, as a telltale of greed, class war and injustice.

Immediately upon news were released, a hope for the class movement was born while a shiver run down the 1%’s spine.

The poor did not rejoice that a man is dead, though they most certainly cheered at the symbolized slaughter of Healthcare Inc.

The opportunity for this incident to awake class consciousness among the lower ranks must not be stifled by the mourning of human life.

Just because monsters die like humans doesn’t mean we have to mourn them.

Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I'm choking on my own heartbeat.

Americans complain constantly that they are only spoon fed military propaganda and when someone entertains the idea that they might watch something that is not, in fact, military imperialist propaganda they go like “so what? you want me to watch a 4 hours soviet georgian movie about the alienation of humanity? You stupid classist bitch” and then reblog infographic on how the North Korea leaders are feeding every middle child of the country to dogs as a religious ritual with the hashtag #liberatenorthkorea
