in reply to Buffy the Psych Prof • • •Is it a coincidence that social murder, done from afar with clean soft hands, for the profit of corporations, is legal and rewarded. But murder by direct application of one's own hands is illegal. Bourgeois murder is not punished — indeed, is not even considered murder. Working class murder is murder and punished by the state. Wholesale social murder as against retail personal murder.

in reply to Voline • • •We're a nation that watches cops brutally murder people (often of color), and then rarely do the cops who did the deed face justice, much less the system that supports it.
Healthcare eugenics is the same exercise of power as police brutality, so it's little surprise that when we can't even call a recorded murder by police a murder, we don't even bat an eye when it's less visible.
