Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What happens when someone does something morally wrong but legal? Like CEOs of large companies who profit from human misery or essential needs such at food, shelter or healthcare ?
They are the ones steering these companies towards profits over human lives. Not only is it legal, it's part of the game. Even though it's morally wrong.
And what about media that corrupt minds, promote hate, and create division? What they're doing has a real impact on society and especially on marginalized groups. This can have important consequences on their lives. But it's all legal.
I believe in such cases mob justice is justified until what these people are doing is recognized as a crime by the governments and justice systems.
If a law is bad, you change the law. That's how it works in any democracy.
If americans want a better healthcare system, all they have to do is change the law.
The issue is that :
1. Americans vote for corrupt people. Rick Scott was convicted of defrauding Medicaid and Medicare. He was still elected by the people of Florida
2. Americans insist on giving some empty states 2 senators.
3. Americans insist that the Senate needs a super-majority to pass any bill
These flaws are why americans can't have healthcare.
Ultimately, it's up to americans to fix their political system to make it more representative if they want healthcare. Killing random CEOs isn't going to work.
