United Healthcare CEO gets murdered, many celebrate, lemmy.world mod(s?) pile on the temp bans and delete posts
I said something along the lines of:
"Wow, I haven't had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while."
Along with
"Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better."
In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.
PTB, comments celebrating a person who's horrible are not encouraging violence. This is clearly an attempt from the mods to push their agenda. Their replies here in this thread support this theory.
for me i consider human life sacred and despite the mistakes of this person only God may judge us.
I think this comment snippet speaks for itself honestly.
Human life is sacred. All the people who died because of denied insurance claims and corporate greed deserve their killer (corporate insurance CEOs) brought to justice. Unfortunately, this is the only way too accomplish that goal.
Human life isn't sacred. The prick who got murdered cared less about human life and has more blood on his hands than anyone celebrating his demise. People have been fighting insurance companies by legal means for years and things have only gotten worse. Violence may be the only way to get change. They already reversed that awful anesthesia policy that was announced the other day.
They're just one of the many trolls or bad faith lemmy users who hasn't been banned by the server you're on or their home server admins. Like Linkerbaan, hopefully they will in the future.
I made a spreadsheet of users like that, since Lemmy itself has no way to tag or leave notes on user's profiles that only you can see.
Literally nobody believes that human life is sacred. They may want to believe that they believe it, but one only need look at the world to see that they contradict the claim with action every day.
What people beieve is that they're better than others, and "life is sacred" is just a tool in the toolbox of looking down upon others.
If they or even you really believed human life was sacred you'd see the piece of shit who died for the piece of shit he is as he and his company was responsible for the deaths of so many many innocent people.
Instead of trying to hide behind worthless religious doctrine and saying it's wrong to be happy that this evil person died because "all life is sacred" this is like saying "All lives matter" as a reactionary response to BLM, it makes you and that other commenter sound like one of those alt-right religious types, in the same way saying "all lives matter" in response to BLM makes you sound like a racist pig.
You may think what you are saying is good and may be confused as to why people are angry at you. The fact is that the context of the situation can make something that seems and indeed is considered good in a vacuum can make it look and sound extremely bad and make the person saying it just as bad.
