    Some people really do seem to believe that “murder is wrong.” Who’d have thought?

      Nuance: unjustified murder is wrong. Someone who dedicates their life to destroying others for profit, murdering them is significantly less violent than letting them persist, and is therefore justified.

        Nuance… There are people calling for violence against the McDonald’s employee who reported the murderer to the police.

        Tankies didn’t know the meaning of the word “nuance”. People who express nuance are “Nazi sympathizers” or “class traitors”. Anyone with a remotely “centrist” view is “sitting in a Nazi bar” and therefore culpable.

        This place is a shithole of absolute moralism.

          The leading sentiment in this thread is that while that worker is indeed a class traitor, that their decision was at least understandable due to the financial crunch they’re likely in as a McDonald’s employee.

          YOU are exhibiting absolute moralism and an abandon of nuance by cherry picking a few extremists to represent the entire response that’s growing against the unethical direction health insurers’ have taken their industry.

          If you see a call for violence against the McD worker, report it.

            Cherry picking??? There are tons of examples!

            “Fuck the people who reported him.”

            “That McDonald’s worker should be hiding”

            “The employee sent someone to live life in prison. As far as drag’s concerned, that is murder.”

            Something something “nazi bar” my friend. Or in this case it’s a “tankie bar”.

              “Fuck the people who reported him.”

              Yeah, fuck em. They decided to be a piece of shit. That isn’t a call to violence.

              “That McDonald’s worker should be hiding”

              Probably should be - they just pissed off nearly an entire country. That isn’t a call to violence either.

              “The employee sent someone to live life in prison. As far as drag’s concerned, that is murder.”

              While not accurate, it’s still not a call to violence.

              …maybe cherry picking isn’t what you’re doing after all - it’s sounding more like you’re just making shit up and projecting some fantasy tankie persona onto the comments you don’t agree with.
