The writers of the beigeness might deny it, but assassination can work. Shinto Abe is just the most recent example. The "win condition" of the immediate destruction of the rentseeking healthcare-insurance complex in the US is a strawman. The killer achieved his goal and his success was greater than he probably imagined. The truth is that the average person is indifferent to the murder, or right-down approving. HN is a bubble about this for obvious reasons. This a stronger signal for the power-brokers to take it easy and fix some of the perverse incentives than a long career in activism. We live, and always have lived in a world in which a stranger can decide that you’re a bad person, and kill you. Knowing this reality isn't condoning it, or believing that common political violence is a good state of affairs. |
