Please do provide a few examples of those many ways, otherwise the argument remains baseless.
And it's not about who in particular killed which other particular person, but some layman killing a representative of the elite class was an increasingly probable matter.

And yeah there are indeed a few cases of legal murder, to ensure the benefit of shareholders :P

karim Link ParentI assumed the "I" on your example was a general "I", since you mentioned you don't understand Kagi as a product, otherwise I assume you'd have just stated that Kagi is aimed at different audience.I assumed the "I" on your example was a general "I", since you mentioned you don't understand Kagi as a product, otherwise I assume you'd have just stated that Kagi is aimed at different audience.

Yeah this murder is completely self inflicted. In a country where firearms are common, and mental helath is rarely covered by insurance, such an outcome is all but certainly, but unfortunately for Americans, their government can't think beyond a 4 year term, and Corpos can't think beyond a 3 month term. Meanwhile, the situation for actual people os getting worse.

The killing of this specific CEO, was pretty much a matter of when, not if. Water can only take so much heat before ot starts boiling, and US insurance companies really had that gas stove on maximum.
And judging by another insurance company rolling back another unpopular policy change after the murder, it seems that violence can indeed be good for the general public.

It becomes a game of numbers, and the numbers aren't in favour of the few elites, especially in the US where guns are just around everycorner.
Come to think of it, disproportionate killing using fire arms directed at the elite memebers of society could be the trigger for gun laws in the US.
it's already common knowledge that the Justice system on the US is completely inaccessible of you're not rich, thus lawful solutions are impossible for the vast majority of US citizens, and thus: Violence is the only solution.

Murder is always against the law, but public benefit isn't always the goal of laws. That's the reason why popular uprisings happened, and why many governments around the world across history had fallen. The Classic scenario is the french revolution, both in the late 18th century AND the 1830 revolution.
In early 20th century US, corpos would send armed men to kill Unionizing workers.

Personally I'm into eood working, and I'd love to get started with Metal Working, but that requires space I can't afford currently.
I don't even have space for woodworking machinery so I have to make do with whatever hand tools I got on said hand.

karim Link ParentYup, it's a stretch to call Yandex Pro-Russian. Under Russian hegemony, yeah. But that's not worse than US-Hegemony Google.In June 2023, Yandex was fined 2 million roubles by a Moscow court for its repeated refusal to share user information with the Federal Security Service.[184][185]

Kagi is only real competitor to Google search that we've had on the last... I would say 20 years. Bing isn't a valid competitor, neither is duckduckgo (bing based) or any other free search engine.
Kagi actually puts effort into being a usable search engine. Tell me of there's any other search engine where I can straight up block Pinterest.

I say yay for more talk about religion on tildes. I've also been thinking about writing about my own experiences with religion, be it critical or supportive, and this thread left me with the impression that tildes might not be opposed to such thing, unlike the majority of online English-Dominated platforms which all seem to be filled with unconditional hate for religions, with no room for good-faith discussion.
