Gotta keep the proletariat in line. Can’t have them getting uppity.
They are at war with people
Oh, waiting for the punishment to start.
Authoritarians love to quash protest, and when they can’t they start bringing out the riot gear and batons. CEOs and corporations are by default dictators and dictatorships.
I wouldn’t be surprised at companies trolling social media and firing anyone that might suggest violence in association with their employer.
(They absolutely check social media. My partner and I work for Fortune 500 companies and long ago scrubbed any association with our employers from our accounts. Nonetheless, my other half works for an employee group to help co-workers with job issues, and it never ceases to amaze me how many stories I hear secondhand about people posting stupid stuff online that gets them fired. The company actively looks for this stuff. Probably preaching to the choir here on lemmy, but just in case anyone needs a reminder.)
Man. I am so glad I joined the federation.
The rich have class solidarity
I am sitting here, in incredible pain from a combined sinus and ear infection, waiting for the antibiotics I need to be shipped to me in 3-5 business days because my insurance will only provide prescription coverage through Express Scripts and not a retail pharmacy.
This same insurance company has also denied to cover a surgery they have prior auth for, denied coverage for routine lab work that is expressly covered, waited months to review disputed charges and gotten them sent to collections, and forced me into a lower tier of coverage twice due to premium increases.
The kicker? I work in the health insurance industry. But I’m not an exec, just a support worker.
They can try to stop the online support all they want, but they should know that the active censorship will only cause people to go elsewhere. This issue is uniting everyone who watches the evening news, and they can’t risk not covering the story because they are hoping to make an example of him.
It’s funny watching basically every news outlet scrambling to try to and explain why Luigi has so much approval online, when the answer’s rather simple:
US Health Insurers go out of their way to fuck over people in their time of need (the old Delay, Deny, Defend), and the executives get rich off of doing this - so the people hate them, and are more than willing to spit on their grave.
Ain’t gonna happen. They’ve given us a martyr. And a sexy one no less.
I wanna thank spez for fucking up reddit which kickstarted the beginning of a new era. The Fediverse Era.
You have been federated, do not resist.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
You know, they just make clear to us how effective it was. Had they handled it like any other murder, there wouldn’t be a support movement that practically calls for others to do the same.

?
I mean like, people would still celebrate the ceo dying regardless. I mean, once the news reported “Delay, Deny, Depose”, that’s it. People would be in support.
There’s roughly a murder a day in NYC. How many of them have you heard about? Do you know any of their names or professions?
How many do the FBI get involved with? How much does the NYPD typically spend investigating each one? How many do they swear they will solve?
Only this one. Thanks for proving ops point lol
Sure, they would still celebrate and support it. But having a single news ticker item “CEO shot” simply does not make waves like non-stop coverage for multiple days does.
I hope they are fucking shaking in their boots now. Sounds like they are.

I thought content moderation was very difficult???
Quite amazing that killing 1000s(?) a year is ok, shooting the one that allowed it isn’t.
If Amazon or eBay takes down your merchandise, you can always sell it on https://xmrbazaar.com/ and somebody could make a legal defense fund on https://kuno.anne.media/
Even Lemmy is bending over backwards about it, so nobody think that the Fediverse is non-compliant.
Lemmy instances or run by individuals in a crap ton of different jurisdictions. None of these individuals want to go to court for our free speech. If an instance or an admin or running out of a location where they are reachable by legal measures, who are we to say they need to protect us?

Been on Lemm.ee and have only seen posts in support of him and how fucked up healthcare is.
I’m glad more and more I landed on this instance.
It’s the admins and mods for Lemmy.world
I’ve seen tons of posts in support of Luigi. The ones I see taken down are ones are threats of violence, including vague and ‘joke’ threats.
I think that’s pretty reasonable considering they are following the law of the countries that host it.
Same. The admins even said they’d allow his manifesto to be posted as long as it was in the appropriate community.
I think that they’re referring to Lemmy Worlds announcement.
I was just curious since the fediverse is a hell of a lot more than just LW. Didn’t even think about them since I only see posts that make it over and must have missed that announcement
World moderation seemed too “all up in my business”, so I ditched it fairly quickly. I get that ML users have a reputation for being obnoxious about their politics, but the moderation has been very “hands off”…as far as I can tell.
They just moderate in other ways to protect their own views. Mention anything counter to .ml and out you go, also you can’t swear which is an odd rule.
My comment history and the fact that I have not been banned disagree with your assessment.
You’re lucky, many people have been.
