And it still happens today. This is why Bill Belichick is totally vindicated in everything that he has done by a horrid system that feeds off the worst aspects of humanity.
A CNN host has told the US broadcaster to drop its on-screen graphics so it can show the abs of alleged murderer Luigi Mangione during a discussion on why social media has become so fascinated with the suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO killer.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) a progressive lawmaker known for stridently left-populist economic positions, appeared to suggest the shooting was an outgrowth of working-class anger over the cost of health care.
"The visceral response from people across the country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system," she said. "Violence is never the answer. But people can only be pushed so far."
Luigi Mangione, has thrown a wrench into the narrative developing about the murder, because, while there is evidence Mangione suffered from a painful back condition and he wrote a manifesto decrying the evils of capitalism, he is far from living a paycheck-to-paycheck existence; in fact, his family is wealthier than the CEO he is accused of killing.
The stupidity of it all is what confuses me sometimes. When Germany became the first country to establish a socialized health insurance system, under the conservative leadership of Otto von Bismarck, it wasn't because they were being nice and all bleeding hearts. It was because Bismarck realized that happier peasants were less rebellious, and that by having the state provide for their health even in poverty, it made them more loyal to the state - which might need to call upon their service for war.
Now we have US politicians and CEOs breeding domestic unrest in order to boost quarterly earnings.
We have nothing but snakes in Congress who will not be direct, will not solve problems, but want the comfort and security of stability while don't absolutely nothing to maintain it.
It's the factory manager demanding full production all the time with no maintenance because maintenance costs money and production time and instead demands everyone work longer hours, doing more work, taking less compensation, and sacrificing everything to try to get production up and then blaming everyone else for the problem
I actively worked, just a summer job but still, in a factory where we came in one morning to find both the compressors were broken, wouldn't turn on. Whole factory runs off air so we just stood around until they could get fixed.
While standing around, every few minutes we would get a new lecture between two and 15 minutes long from one of the management cadre about how lazy and untrustworthy ee were and we better report who it is who's sabotaged the compressors.
Repair guy, who doesn't work for them but is working as a vendor, tells them that they seized up because they're never maintained. He replaced a few small bits l, filters, but mostly just actually filled them with oil and now they work.
Not even a tiny modicum of apologies for it being the management fault to never do maintenance, just yelling at us again now to get back to work.
But this world is getting worse and worse and all of you know it and sense it. It's too late. EVERYONE has been pushed too far. This is like sending a tornado warning when it's already over your house. The wave is in motion and there's nothing anybody can do to stop what I suspect is already lifting off your roof.
So do you guys get it. In real life, things are not always as they seem, and the failing mainstream media spread as many lies as they think they can get away with and have absolutely zero empathy for anyone outside their loopy narrative.
Kyle is seen as a martyr to the system by losing from the unlosable positions in Superbowls.
Kyle has been a victim to the narrative when really all he is doing is being true to himself, true to his ideals, true to his values and principals.
I think of Kyle's situation in a similar manner to how Socrates was considered wise. It was not so much anything Socrates actually knew that made him wise, but it was his awareness of how much he did not know that made him wise. Socrates went against the prevailing narrative and did it his way and didn't lie or cheat even though it cost him in the end.
And Bill Belichick lied and cheated, the system and mainstream media supported him and his bully owner Robert Kraft who was ALSO spending most of his time with prostitutes and kept getting away with it and kept on Winning by Cheating.
Does that make Bill better than Kyle?
You can only kick a caged dog so much, before it bites. And they've been kicking for a real long time and the cage keeps getting smaller. Either the dogs gonna start biting or the dogs gonna die
But remember the greatest voice in San Franciscan history. Real or imagined. Remember what Dirty Harry said, when he stood up to the vigilante police in great movie Magnum Force.
Lieutenant Briggs: You're a good cop, Harry. You had a chance to join my team, but you decided to stick with the system.
Harry Callahan: Briggs, I hate the goddamn system! But until someone comes along with changes that make sense, I'll stick with it.
But in the end, you know what happen: -
Lieutenant Briggs: [
With gun pointed] Just hold it right there, Callahan. No tricks!
Harry Callahan: [
Activates the bomb he's holding out of sight] Your organization is through, Briggs.
Lieutenant Briggs: [
Nods slyly] There's a lot more where they came from, believe me. Move out of the way. Move it!
[
Harry tosses the bomb in the backseat and steps away. Briggs gets in]
Lieutenant Briggs: Uphold the law. You just killed three police officers, Harry. And the only reason why I'm not gonna kill you, is because I'm gonna prosecute you- with your own system. It'll be my word against yours. Who's gonna believe you? You're a killer, Harry. A maniac.
[
Briggs starts to drive away when the car blows up]
Harry Callahan: A man's GOT to know his limitations.
[
Walks away]
Bill Belichick is Lieutenant Briggs and Kyle Shannahan is Harry Callahan.
Kyle Shannahan deserves the reward as he stayed within his value system. Bill sold his soul and continues to sell his soul to win and steal from the system.
I would rather lose like Kyle than win like Bill.
