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.
No fucking way the real cost is $1M unless you had an organ transplant. And that’s still considering US prices which are inflated.
It probably wasn’t that high but hundreds of thousands I would believe. I don’t really want to go into the details for privacy reasons but it required a lot of medical care and expertise. Probably more than a transplant although I’m not too knowledgeable about that.
I see. I’m glad you’re OK!
