UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot, with his wife revealing prior threats over healthcare coverage, raising questions about his controversial role.
it’s likely an indicator that people feel like justice is unattainable.
I think you mean, ‘people are starting to wake up to the fact that justice is unattainable’.
Where have you been the last decade or 3? If you’re rich and not going after other rich people, you’re practically untouchable. Bernie Madoff didn’t catch jail time because he defrauded Anne and Bill out of their pension, he defrauded people who have money matter.
Trump has proven this, and the fact Elon (the richest manchild in the world) is literally in his cabinet now only exacerbates the situation.
I don’t think things are radically worse, that’s the interesting thing… It’s the fact we’ve discarded any semblance of justice at the highest levels. Like, nobody is even pretending now. The highest office in the land is about to be occupied by an openly corrupt idiot.
When people lose hope in their leaders, they realize it’s up to them to change the world. Great acts are often done in the fallout of such times. Both acts of great kindness, and great violence.
Injustices become things to act on when you have zero hope of change from the people who should be enacting change.

Idk it sounds like someone else got a lot closer to getting justice than I’ll get.
