no, i meant in your proposed war against insurance: do you escalate from bullets to car bombs, and from the usa to the global center of the insurance industry?

im not sure the car bombings worked for the ira, but i'm not an expert in your history. didnt they face horrible backlash for killing civilians? that's what i used to hear bur i really dont know

anyway, armed struggle is no joke. often the cure is worse than the disease, things spiral out of control, everyone suffers for generations...

and here the level of "oppression" when it comes to healthcare is at the level of individual complaints, not a motivator for violent insurrection

but i would argue the frame doesnt work as oppressor vs oppressed anyway. americans can switch very quickly from oppressor to oppressed depending on which side of the transaction they are on. as workers they might have to suffer the boot, but as consumers and investors they are happy to apply it, and greedily demand more for less. more for less always! (or else karen will ask to speak to the manager)

it's not our social class that separates us, but our sides in the transaction. this is why old timey marxism doesn't take root here. it's a middle class country i guess, with a middle class ideology
