Can someone share the origin of this meme? (The hooded smiling man) I can't find anything on Know Your Meme and it's everywhere.
That's the dude who shot the United Healthcare CEO
Doesn't look like the same guy to me.
He was with me on a wilderness camping trip the whole time.
Thanks, but weird that we are making memes about a criminal.
Yes - it’s true the healthcare CEO had more blood on his hands than the shooter, but that’s no reason to refer to the CEO as a criminal!
He was just a greedy, unethical monster who lived off the largess of others’ suffering.
To the extent that he wasn't a criminal it's only because our government is too corrupt to make his actions illegal.
Killing the CEO will change nothing, the solution is to add regulations to healthcare companies, including jail penalties if necessary.
Some companies have already backed away from some of their more predatory stuff... so it did have an effect.
The man he killed was a thousand times more criminal than the shooter.
The shooter may be a criminal, but he significantly reduced the total criminality of this world.
...I mean, welcome to the internet?
It's not. It's weird that you're defending a billionaire, bootlicker.
I love the double morale of some people with the meme templates.
Lots of people encouraging others to stop using the guy at the "change my mind" meme because that person is bad but it's ok to use a literal criminal (the one that killed the CEO of a company)?
I didn't know that killing was considered a good action depending if the one dead is rich or not. /s
Oh won't somebody think of the hyper rich oligarchs exploiting sick and dying people for profit?!?!?!
Buddy, bootlicking the billionaires won't make them reconsider denying your insurance claim.
Look up Guy Fawkes. I don't remember all the details but I think he was some French guy who got executed for something.
Unless you're talking about that specific person wearing that outfit in which case he's from the movie V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.
Edit: I don't know how to read.
British, he hosted a failed terrorist attack against the monarch.
I knew I got the details wrong. Thanks for the correction!
Even though I completely misunderstood what that person was asking about lmao
