    The irony here is that Che Guavara was a medical doctor AND in charge of torture… So that’s kinda similar to United Healthcare.

    Ugh please stop. The left needs to stop idolizing losers like Luigi or Unabomber.

    The Che comparison is uncalled for because Che actually achieved something other than getting caught.

    As far as US activists go, people who actually achieve something like MLK or Malcolm X or Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman are 100% more admirable.

    Choose winners! We need people like Musk for these causes, not losers who peter out and die.

        I don’t know if that accomplishes anything for people who are suffering from unfair healthcare policies

          Okay so that’s a different point.

          Ignorance isn’t a form of evidence. You “not knowing” something has no external meaning.

      Look I’m not going to say I don’t think musk could be swayed by some head pats and calling him a good boy when he actually does something right but every effective movement has both the face and a bit of violence

      The civil rights movement wasn’t completely non-violent but would have gotten no where without smart and charismatic people explaining why things are so bad others might resolt to violence

      I’m sorry so say but the longer words fail on their own to change things the more “necessary”/inevitable violence becomes
