“Deny,” “defend” and “depose, the words” found written on shell casings that were shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by a gunman in New York City on Wednesday. The gunman became a national folk hero and a social media sensation. The reactions on social media, X (Twitter) and TikTok videos, were not kind, and according to some official and media pundits mean-spirited that reflect mockery and resentment toward the CEO and private Healthcare Insurance industry; “your thoughts and pray were denied,” tweeted one to the CEO family. Standup comic Samantha Ruddy wrote in her own X post. “I personally do not feel like I am on the shooter’s radar because I am not the CEO of a highly divisive multi-billion dollar insurance company.” Right-wing podcaster Tim Pool, suggests that Americans across the political spectrum can find rare consensus when it comes to disdain for their free-market health care system.” This reaction shows that we are more United than we may think: The ruling class manufacturing differences among us, racism, transgender bathrooms, refugees eating our dogs and cats, Islamophobia, class welfare, and sexism. The killing of the Healthcare CEO brought America together.
We all despise private Healthcare insurance and greedy CEOs, Killing and violence traditionally targeted toward politicians, now CEO, and wealthy Americans, as the Times put it all on edge now! People are rising against the ruling class, resisting oppression and exploitation, they want a voice in things that affect their lives and are becoming more vocal. From the October 7 attack, Syrian rebels’ brazen war that toppled the most brutal, savage Arab regime. Assad and his family fled to Mosco; student protests against genocide in Gaza, and two assassination attempts on Trump. People all over the world are rising when your government and politicians side with the wealthy few against you when change becomes hard to come by when your voice is denied and deposed when the ruling class buys your politicians, limits your choice to a convicted felon and corporate sellout who supported a genocide. When Obama, the first black president, promised “Change’, ended up giving trillions of dollars to cooperation and leaving people in the cold. the darling of white liberals, handed over your health insurance to a private company that makes billions of dollars profit from your misfortunate. When technology and Algorithms are used to improve productivity and profit for the wealthy but are used to deny your healthcare coverage and life-saving medications. In 2011, during the Arab Spring, millions of people rose against their brutal dictators, asking for freedom and social justice. counter-revolution supported by global interests crushed it. Now, what is happening in Syria, the latest people to rise in the Arab Spring, the most peaceful one, was crushed by forces and brutal, savage violence, killing children, women, and the elderly, torturing and imprisoning 100,000,’s and forcing millions out of the country to become refugees. Now we are witnessing the beginning of Arab Spring02 where the sons and daughters whose fathers and mothers were killed, tortured, and imprisoned under the Assad savage regime for over 50 years come back with guns and tanks and a new vision for Syria; revolting against their oppressor, taking over their country in days forcing President Bashar Assad and his family to flee to Mosco. Like the Taliban, who rose against American occupying of their country for 20 years and defeated a military of superpower that fled back to Washington. Abu Mohammad al-Jolania, a 42-year eloquent Syrian, learned from his mistakes with political Islam jihadists in Iraq and Syria, realizing that political Islam means you use politics and build relationships and alliances. October 7 tragedy, where the young Palestinians, the sons and daughters of people who were denied integrity and decent life, living as second-rated citizens in their lands, Now resistance over 70 years of occupation, apartheid rule, last modern settlers colonial project, stealing lands, and destroying livelihood. Our healthcare industry denies our health treatment, causing the death of thousands of patients every year. The idea that people’s reaction to the Killing of a CEO is portrayed in corporate media and snowflake politicism as condoning violence, “Seems like leftists opposed to killing terrorists in the Middle East support killing CEOs in Midtown Manhattan. Sick. “Tweeted Congressman Dean Phillips. People don’t condone violence, fighting occupation and apartheid regime genocide is not terrorism, and they aren’t just leftists, finally, those people are not condoning violence, they are condemning violence, the violence of the healthcare industry, the violence of corporate America that takes profit over people. Now, as the Times puts it, CEO billionaires are on edge. We now live in a world where, as Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman explains,” Nobody is in control.” . The people who have the power and means to do things don’t have the politics to choose what they like to do, people around the world will “Deny,” “defend” and “depose”.
