Re: "What I love about Luigi - Madeline Silver"

We are all the heroes of our own story. That's why there's an inner righteousness. Without any self reflection, you're capable of many dark things to feed that righteousness.

I think there's a social righteousness in situations such as this because we, as a society, permit murder by the very powerful. If you do it to a lot of people, do it as part of a company, and filter it through an abstraction layer, you can literally get away with murder. Denying claims for life saving treatment, or selling opioids your marketing department says are not addictive are two notorious examples in the public consciousness. Add in a dose of anti-authority conditioning through the media and you've got a powder keg.

The feel good story of 2011 was a couple that foreclosed on a bank. Same righteousness, but they were in the legal right at that time.

I am not going to shed a single tear for Insurance Boy. My mom died of pancreatic cancer that could have been diagnosed years earlier, but it wasn't, because she was self-employed and uninsured. They diagnosed it when she collapsed on the job and got dragged to the ER. *But*, it is worth reading the following: gemini://library.inu.red/document/crimethinc-against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine Our objective is to deprive these skin-wastes of power over us, not to exact bloody revenge. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Corporate Personhood At Fault!

As long as we treat corporations as persons, and shield executives for their actions on behalf of these monstrosities, actual people will suffer.

People should be responsible for their actions.
