  • Ihr wisst schon, dass aktuell Automarken die zu stark auf eine E-Auto Strategie setzen aktuell abgestraft werden. Sie verkaufen sich aktuell nicht so gut wie gewünscht in Deutschland und auch international. Das liegt natürlich zum teil daran, dass sie deutlich teurer sind als Verbrenner, aber auch daran das Infrastruktur und der Wunsch nach E-Mobilität bei vielen Menschen international nicht so stark vorhanden ist. Ist also sehr vereinfacht dargestellt das ganze und nicht unbedingt zutreffend.

  • Yes they would. Thats why Beeper is working on changing to a bridge setup that works client-side and not server-side. Remember, that Discord is not encrypted and authorities can just get your data from discord directly. Do not use discord in any sort of private context whatsoever. I don't believe Discord itself isn't actively using my messaging data anyways

  • This was an individual who helped make the system. Brian Thompson was directly responsible for it’s creation. Bro he's been CEO since 2021... You really think he created the entire system?

    His killing has overnight launched a nationwide discussion about how bullshit the current system is. There is immense value in that. It ain’t a problem. Are there other ways to spark a discussion that don't involve murder? Better options that have an overall more beneficial outcome for everyone with less chaos and death? I think so.

    If the public really wanted change they could've demanded it long ago. This is a democracy (even if FPTP is shitty). Why would you not vote for the party that wants to make healthcare more humane and instead vote the party and guy for president who's a public oligarch and thinks of the working class as beneath him.

    Ethically the things Brian Thompson did were bad sure. But if he granted every healthcare request would the investors replace him? Most likely yes.

    I believe you also cross a line when you argue that self-justice is right. Are rich people just gonna get murdered now since they're rich? Like bc the capitalistic system favours people that already have wealth? Where is the line. Can I now murder anyone I think is a bad person? I don't think this behaivor should be supported.

    You don't even know the guy... you see him as a demonised person and now his family and friends have lost him for no real change to have taken effect. I just hope this discussion won't just simmer down and the public will ignore the issue again.

  • I honestly don't like default instance approach. I think people should be able to select tags and they'd get communities recommended with maybe a flag of the country where it comes from next to it and like just a list of blocked communities from that home (inaccesible planets) and like a short description. I don't think lemmy should become as centralised. I like your idea for that approach. If one community shuts down or like the admins or mods act stupid it would suck for users to not have been given a choice.

  • I looked up the modlog of the comment and it seemed extremely reasonable imho but now its removed. How can legit discussion about this topic happen when any critical discourse is just removed. I'm honestly disappointed with blahaj.

  • You can be against this kind of behavior while also not celebrating murder, you know?

  • It should probably need to be a public grassroots movement. The public would need to be so outraged about the lack of change that democratically elected officials couldn't ignore the needs of the public if they want to be taken seriously. Public strikes and protests can work. The media and public need to keep speaking out about this issue. Citizens movements and effective messaging is possible, even if you don't have the corporate world to back you. And honestly most rich people that are not directly involved in healthcare shouldn't really care. Like whats the benefit for you as someone wealthy to stop public healthcare if you yourself are not invested? You will still be able to purchase additional insurance if public insurance would ever become reality. You would still be able to pay for special treatments. I don't see them fighting against this like slave-owners fighting against the abolishment of slavery.

    What I didn't know... Is public healthcare actually made illegal by the supreme court? I'm not too deep into US law and such as I don't personally live there. What are your thoughts?

  • The man isn't the only one in the company and the system responsible. He steers the company at large, yes but every hand involved, be it the government, president, ceo to individual worker denying claims is technically at fault. I do not think we should celebrate murder. I do not celebrate Brian Thomson, neither do I celebrate Luigi Magione. I hope he gets his fair sentence.

  • Rule utilitarianism states that “an action is right as it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good”. Murder as a general is right. The reason is that this murder is just a short-term thing that doesn’t undo all the deaths that have happened. The general abidance to rule of law without self-justice is worth way more than any single person dying in nearly all cases.

    In the categorical imperativ Kant argues that you should “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” If it became a universal law that you could kill anyone you deemed evil this would end in a worse result for everybody. Thus it cannot be wanted.

    The family and friends around him mourn and the new CEO seems like he is not about to roll over and accept every health insurance claim. The death is dividing citizens which believe he is a hero while others believe he is a murderer. The responsibility off of all those unneeded deaths are claimed by not only the CEO but also by legislators who didn’t account for universal healthcare. It is on the sitting government and parties for not supporting change. It is on the employer partly for not buying a higher premium package that includes more things or choosing a different company with a smaller denial rate. It is on the individual employee inside UH denying claims. It is on upper management like Brian Thompson and the people around him who are at fault for making this worse. And then there’s the stakeholders that don’t press on more ethical practices. Then its also on Americans voting against parties that wish to change the healthcare system in a beneficial way for everybody.

    As the head of a company Brian Thompson also had the responsibility to steer it in an ethical way which it seems he did not do. His death has sparked public debate which is a good thing. This does not necessarily mean choosing a murder was the right way of doing things that optimizes utility for everybody.

  • I believe this is just not true. The US is one country. First-Past-The-Post system sucks but systematic change can happen. Its just... you guys elected Trump. I do not think the majority of Americans wants change bad enough. There is also no defeating the system through these actions. It would take a whole as insurrection, not one murder and I doubt anything good would come of it for the average American.

    Im European so I really sympathize with the struggle for a decent healthcare system for you guys. I just don't think this is the right way.

  • Yet again claiming moral righteousness while promoting murder. Positive change will come through democratic and legislative change. Violence leads to chaos and disturbance. When people like you come to power they use everything to undermine and disrupt critics. How can you label a person a traitor simply for disagreeing with violence? Every single country that became communist has just created a new elite and ruling class. Don't pretend you're the good one.

  • Elect representatives and use non-violent acts to shape public perception so the law is changed. If it is legal and he isn't actively like murdering/torturing people I don't think you can really argue he should be imprisoned. Just my take. Also, there are no "good people" and "bad people". Its not black and white.
