I mean, on a fundamental level this is why we’re told it’s not okay to crack jokes about the health care guy getting assassinated—because the elite donor class is extremely shook by the prospect of political violence directly targeting them.

@DavidAstinWalsh
There is a degree of populist anger towards corporate CEOs out there that is clearly politically combustible, but political parties and institutions that are reliant on support from corporate elites are singularly unable to harness this energy.

@DavidAstinWalsh
Even the tut-tutting “don’t make jokes about a tragedy” pundits are less genuinely morally outraged about a murder and more positioning themselves to ensure that their public views are aligned with the corporate elites who fund their positions.

Why socioeconomics & the ever increasing divide between classes can’t be ignored. It will find its way to the doorstep of the wealthy, one way or another.

@VanyaWright
When politics becomes so corrupted that change isn’t possible through legal means, people will turn to violence. This happens again and again. I don’t know why they always think this time will be different. Today’s ruling class isn’t special and isn’t immune.

Shocking how many that kill by the pen are offended when one is killed by the sword.

This is the headline the NYT should have run on this not-very-tragic UHC story:

@RidleyDM
I'm not in the elite donor class and I'm shook at how many people seem to think society would be better off if assassinations were considered widely acceptable and anyone who thought someone else was evil was justified in killing them.

And they should respond by reducing their negative effects on society. Increasing security while doubling down on the bad actions is not going to cut it. They armed America for profit and they are reaping what they sowed.

pretty funny that they're acting shocked and frightened when the theme of the met gala was a short story about some bourg trying to destroy time itself because the revolution was closing in on them

@natashablue22
Imagine being so out of touch that you think you can play with people's lives without consequence. Angry people with access to guns is a dangerous group to f*ck with. Living in fear is their new norm, just like ours.

None of this energy was there when we saw Palestinian babies with their heads split open by Israelis and our weapons. fukk them, and their CEOs.

I said on another platform ultimately nothing would change for the people these companies leech off of and all the other CEOs will just invest in personal security

@surelynotwalrus
The sort of direct effect this has had on behavior makes me think they were truly not aware just how much anger and how volatile the situation is. I’m sure the most frightening thing in the world to them is being known and associated with their crimes

@AnitaLaLouise
The corporate elite decided decades ago to cut back on raises for their workers and keep all the money for themselves, they DESERVE to be afraid. They've been not giving us raises, not providing proper insurance coverage, price gouging and we were just supposed to take it?
