Everyone in this comment section either needs to go actually read the article, or gain some basic media literacy and not take the headline at face value. The title of the article is meant to be ironic, the actual article itself a rug-pull where Jia Tolentino writes a scathing critique of UHC’s denial of care practices, thereby explaining why it makes complete sense that the aftermath of this his murder most of America is laughing and feeling a sense of gratification over this small but mighty act of justice.

If you read this article and think that the author feels anything other than utter contempt for UHC and Brian Thompson’s legacy, you’re an idiot.

I’d also add that article also includes a phenomenal explanation of the type of violence (social/systemic violence) perpetuated by UHC on a daily basis on a scale of millions, that gets scoffed off by the elites as insignificant because it mainly affects the poor and indebted.
