Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.

I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.

In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.

    $1,000,000 of medical care.

    That is something I can’t conceive of and I’m not alone.

    Big numbers are sometimes big for no reason and elimantiong middlemen makes it go down.

    Edit: I’m sorry you went through whatever it was regardless.

      If you knew the details it might not be as crazy as it sounds… probably not a million but many thousands I’m sure.

      Yeah it was pretty rough. Most difficult experience of my life. Even family members said for them it was also their most difficult experience.
