It's not just #UnitedHealthcare or health insurance in general.
Every industry in capitalism treats life and death as numbers on a spreadsheet that only matters if it affects their bottom line.

Something I wish people understood better about Platner is that he switches his persona for different audiences.
For example, in 2019, he commented at length on SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) reddit about how he disapproved of Marines using Punisher Skulls and Viking Call signs as insignia because he found the insignia "reeks of fascism." All while, again, ostensibly being naïve re: the Totenkopf--the unifying symbol of the SS--on his own chest.
Then, in 2020, when writing on r/liberalgunowners, he states a completely contradictory position: Sniper/Scouts have SS bolts and that's not problematic at all. Platner's argument: "I know a bunch of black and latino HOGs with bolts, they'd be quite surprised to hear they are part of a conspiracy to infiltrate white supremacists into the Marine Corps."
So, in 2019, Punisher Skulls seem fascistic--and he always disapproved of them--but, in 2020, SS bolts are just part of a long tradition. "I know lots with bolts."
Meanwhile, all of this elaborate (but contradictory) commentary on "Insignia: Fascist or no?" is occurring as Platner sits there with the unifying symbol of the SS tattooed for perpetuity on his chest, but has never once considered what it might mean beyond being a "terrifying skull and crossbones."
Okay.
Again- I Love Boosters has an awareness problem. I, and my work, get's muted on the internet and posts about it get confined to a smaller circle than others. Let's get it out there.
@ClassicalSocdem Kinda foolish to take these people's statements at face value. They are just centrist liberals who are self aware enough to know that their politics are embarrassing, so they pretend to be progressive for brownie points and find a way to posture as being leftier than thou.
@ChrisAlvino having the homogenizing computer program handle the "creative spark" part of the creative process is maybe the worst possible way to use it for art
The closure of Delaney Hall without the release of detainees is not a win. The closure of Delaney Hall but not getting ICE out of New Jersey is not a win. If detainees are transferred out of Jersey that’s not a win. Family separation and violence against detainees would continue.
@gremloe This is a ploy to force the public to be the bag holders when these projects flop btw. It's not at all like being tempted by the ring. It's actively selling us out.
They beat men for having a translator. Gassed them. Then cleaned the blood off the floors hoping no one would find out. But HE CALLED. We heard it.
We’re not letting this disappear. The world will know what’s happening inside Delaney Hall. #ShutDownDelaneyHall
Imagine how many children wouldn't have been sexually assaulted if Trump hadn't pardoned the J6'rs and left them in jail. Every day another one is arrested for raping kids.
Israel having killed every child, every sheep, every dog and cat. Having destroyed every tree, every road, every building in southern Gaza
Is now bulldozing the remnants.
Every gravestone, every sign that anyone ever lived here.
It's a holocaust
@godspeed_aflame ok but that was how the book was discussed in a lot of high school english classes so it doesn't really matter what the author meant if the school is just going to teach the kids something else

@SkySumisu@windows7ltscs By a similar token, Epstein was not the only guy doing what he did. He was just the guy who was so sloppy he got caught soliciting hundreds of middle schoolers.
