    This is a salient point. Dethroning the ones in charge by the same means they use (hate, division, etc.) will put someone new on the throne. But using the same means, you’ve now established a rule of law that works in the way they like to look at the world - with hate. With retribution. It’s a cycle. It needs to be broken.

      The insurance industry does not hate the people they kill. It’s cold and passionless; it’s simply business. And it was hardly divisive, just look at the surprising approval in polls. It really only divides the upper class abusing the masses from the masses themselves, a division which already existed.

      This is not cyclic. Doing nothing was cyclic. This is the way out of the cycle of mass social murder. This isn’t some symmetrical dispute of vengeance between neighbors or factions, this is oppression by a minority ruling class of sociopaths. You don’t need to hate them to know they’re passionless mass murderers with legal approval.
